woah @dre I am SO sorry, that reminds me of god awful parties in college where I used to get groped by drunk frat boys. seriously, that is straight sexual harassment and really inappropriate. so sorry that happened to you.
happy birthday @ktfran!!
I am glad that everyone else’s new years are off to a good start!
I am sorry @veritek. At least you are finding out early on with this one, vs the dragging it out process that happened with TT.
I had a great NYE and start to the new year as well. We avoided the uber fare charge (which was 4.5x the normal price) and found a cab for 1/3 of the cost and I received tons of compliments on my dress!
lol I have a shoe very similar to that Kate! It is nude in color as well and the heel isn’t too terribly high.
Thanks @ktfran RTR has some really good options for not that expensive, so far I have not rented a dress above $50.00 and they have all been so awesome and I have received tons of compliments.
I probably won’t wear hose, I mostly wanted the control top aspect after my past month of holiday bingeing ha.
ohh good call! I have some nude heels I haven’t been able to wear yet, and also a strappy sandal, but I think that would look strange with hose, if I decide to wear them. I am so bad at matching shoes/dresses- I was thinking wedge mostly since I will be out dancing and it may be more comfortable, but the heels shouldn’t be too bad. Thanks 🙂
This is the dress I rented: https://www.renttherunway.com/shop/designers/slate__willow/a_little_blush_dress
Do you guys think that nude wedge booties would work with it? I am torn on pantyhose/stockings, I hate the way nude ones look, I got some like sparklyish nude ones so its not like straight nude hose, and I don’t think black will go.
@the lady e- sometimes you just need that attention and connection to reboot your love life a bit. Yeah this may and probably won’t turn in to anything, but just feeling that desire and spark again can really go a long way!
I have a great NYE planned! My boyfriend and I are going solo for the first time since we started dating, this is our third NYE together. We are going to see one of our favorite musicians in a really small venue and I rented a really sexy dress from Rent the Runeway, my new favorite thing ever, and am going to get pretty and we are probably going to pig out on cheap tacos or mexican before getting wasted and dancing the night away. I have loved our past few New Year’s spent with friends and family but am excited for us to have a little date night, with all of the craziness of the holidays and the depression I have been in the past few months and finally see the end of, I think it will be really good for us.
I love the green sparkly…don’t you have red hair? That would be amazing. My little sister has gorgeous deep red hair and fair skin and that color is insane on her.
yay!! I am so glad you are going to go to the ball. I agree it doesn’t have to mean or signify anything to his friends that you are girlfriend status, a lot of my friends have gone to those balls with people they are sort of friends with/just getting to know or date or whatever.
Also, what a fun excuse to dress up! I agree with @Kate, I love doing that stuff and really don’t get an opportunity. I have one cocktail party this holiday season and am trying to find the perfect dress. I found a great 1940s vintage one on etsy but am nervous of the fit. I have also been looking at Rent the Runway but the shipping adds a lot of $$. Anyways have fun 🙂
Also congrats @Kare on passing the PMP!!!
Yeah I mean I think its good to discuss the kid thing maybe but the future thing comes up more organically. For us, we both briefly and really organically brought up the kid thing earlier on and then it wasn’t until recently that we had a more formal conversation about it (about 2 years in) which may seem like a long time for some people, but I still consider myself pretty young (27) and have a similar stance on kids, like if it happens it happens but it isn’t something I am going to plan my life for/around, and marriage I am totally up in the air about, so its not like that important to me to iron out these things. We knew where we stood before, it had come up at like 6 months and we had a talk where we were like yeah that is how I feel too but recently we just had some real heart to hearts with honest discussion and it was a really organic thing. I think if you are a bit older or kids are something you 100% want it is better to get that out up front.
Ah okay so
@ver – that party sounds awesome!! Wine as a housewarming gift = huge win
@kare- your friend’s fiance sounds awful, but I get being very attached to a little one in your life. I am like a surrogate auntie to my best friend’s 3 year old and if they move away and I couldn’t see her as often, I would be devastated.
@theladyE- I am so sorry about your break up. This whole saga has been a roller coaster to hear about and I can only imagine going through it was probably confusing and a lot of ups and downs. I get you don’t want to talk about it, so will respect that and know that when you do we will all be here to listen and offer perspective if needed or wanted. In the meantime, please take care of yourself, cut off communication, this seems like the type of dude to maybe string you along post-breaking up and yeah, maybe a break until the new year would be good. That way you can focus on yourself, family and friends during the holidays and start fresh in a few months. hugs
