I won't have to go naked to my niece's wedding after all! I spent several hours, a couple weekends ago, going thru the mall, Target, and Walmart in Concord without finding anything to wear. Oh sure, there were lots of clothes, but anything that I would be caught dead in (and there were precious few of that sort) had sold out of my size .
So tonight, after work, I decided to work my way down 101A (from Nashua to Milford) and hit every store that had clothing until I found something to wear. I hit K-mart (the new Sears), Dress Barn, Marshall's, another Target and some other store that I don't remember the name of. Then I saw JL Plum, which sells catalog clothing at discount prices.
There, I found a skirt I could live with (although I had to go with the rasberry as they had no blue), and a light pink blouse that has 3/4 lenght sleeves (which unfortunately I can't find a picture of). Total cost was less than the advertised price of the skirt alone. I still have shoes that should be okay to wear with the ensemble.
Can't beat that with a stick!
Whew! That's a relief! I had a mental picture of your taking all of the attention away from the bride and groom by wearing your birthday suit. Glad that you found something that you like for such a reasonable price. You'll look super! Is WS also going to wear clothes?
Chadwick's of Boston used to send me catalogues to my work address in Albuquerque. Since I had never heard of them, I was really ticked. Making matters worse, they sent two copies of each edition. It took me a while to convince them that they should NOT send catalogues to my office. I was finally successful in getting them to quit sending me catalogues, at all, after about 15 years. I did order a few tops from them, but most of their stuff is for the younger crowd--in which I lost membership some time ago.

Gorgeous skirt! I think you should buy the shoes shown on the Chadwick's page to go with it.

Nice skirt, what size are you?

Jackie - I have a pair of shoes (off white) that will go with the outfit. Since I don't dress up very often (less than once a year), I get neutral shoes so they will go with just about anything.
Wendy - I got a small (good thing I didn't need a medium - they only had this skirt in large and small).

Cop Car - WS has a suit - hopefully it still fits him (I'm pretty sure it does).
