dress stress

i have been doing a lot of research lately on what to wear to an evening wedding with the dress code: 'black tie optional.'

and hell if i'm not still confused as ever. what is a girl supposed to wear to an evening ceremony that begins at 6 o'clock? in napa valley? and what if that girl were to wear the same dress (gasp!) to a wedding in boston that begins at 4 o'clock? does napa valley chic clash with new england prim? thinking about wearing a black satin dress that i have (moan for the color black, moan for 'i already wore this dress to plenty of weddings'), but i'd like to wear something new.

i love new dresses. note: i love new dresses.

i always have the perfect dress in mind. and i can never find it, because the dress that lives in my dreams rarely exists in real life.

sigh. i wish reality lived up to my dreams.

I can never find 'that dress' when I'm out there looking. It's only when I have no cash and accidently end up window shopping that I see it.

ps

Important things to remember when dressing for a wedding.
1. Never wear white.
2. Never try to look nicer than the bride - ugly up if necessary.
3. Never dress like a hooker.
4. Never dress as though you are going to a funeral.
5. Otherwise, wear anything you like - no one looks at any one but the bride any way.
6. Have fun and be comfortable.
