I’m engaged! We are making a small party to celebrate this with close family and friends, but I have no idea about what to wear.
I don’t want to wear a big gown, I don’t have the money to buy one and I want to keep it simple… but special!
I don’t think that white is a good idea but… why not? It’s on September 26. I don’t know what the weather will be like… It’s going to be buffet, maybe outside, but we don’t know yet…
I need your ideas, all of them! Should I wear a dress? Pastel colors? Bright colors?

It’s YOUR party, wear what you want. Just pick something that makes you happy and feel pretty and run with it.

it’s your party, wear whatever you want to wear. What you wear to the party is going to be determined by what kind of party you are having. I had a casual dinner at my apartment. I didn’t buy anything new and I doubt I got dressed up.

@live_for_love@xanga - thank you
@Erika_Steele@xanga - It’s a casual dinner too.

Go something knee-length and neutral coloured.
Don’t go for white but do go for something tasteful, not too grand.
This sort of thing…

Wear something inviting, that shows your personality. If your on a budget, you might be able to go and buy accessories insead of a new dress, or go to a discount sales like Ross. I bough a Betsy Johnson dress there for $1.75 . And I love it!
guest
if you want a nicer dress you can try jcrew, or you can look at their dresses just for ideas
guest
@Erika_Steele@xanga - Agreed.
Haha, it’s on my birthday! A sundress would be really cute (unless the weather is bad) or even slacks and a really pretty blouse. Whatever you feel comfortable with and congrats on your engagement! =]

or a cute sundress with some sandalsdepending on weather of course

A short little black dress always does the job. If all else fails, have a backup.

A little black dress is good for any event, you can accessorize it to your taste and it will be perfect.

Idk what to wear to an engagment party.
P.S
Check out my article on human dog mating, do you love it? hate it? comment me! tell me what you think!

a full a-line skirt and delicate-looking sleeveless blouse and low heels is always a nice combination that looks classy! if you’ll be outside in grass, maybe go for flats! (or a dress in the same shape).
for mine, i wore this:http://www.katespade.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3699233&cp=2631362.3540941
with round-toe nude wedges! it was two weeks ago! super fun!
guest
Wear something that is comfortable and nice at the same time! ANything that you like and that makes you happy. You don’t have to wear a certain color that you feel uncomfortable with just to impress them peoplesss.
Congrats btw
guest
Gold is a good colour for end-of-summer/start-of-fall season! (not necessarily gold lame though LOL)

Wear something comfortable, maybe a cute sundress. Above the knee, bright colous. Good luck and congrats!

I think you should wear a sun-type dress in a earth-y color, since September being fall and all. Have fun! =D
guest
if it was my engagement party, i would wear something girly and light. but that’s just me.
guest
I’m not sure what you sould wear but congratulations !!
guest
wear a dress. the colors, as long as it looks good. go to macy’s or jessica mcclintock. they usualy have pretty dresses
guest
wear something fancy but not black. Hit Anne taylor or something like that for a print? you want something that you feel comfortable and awesome in since you will be the center of attention
Congrats, girl!
guest
congratulations! since it’s your party, and you and your fiance’s night(or day or whenever the party is), i think you should wear a dress in what ever color you want!
i’m sure you’ll great in whatever you choose.
guest
Congrats! I think a sundress for an outdoorsy event would be nice (Sept 26 is still sundress weather in Los Angeles) or a pretty cocktail dress for something indoors. But in all honesty it depends on the type of event and comfort is definitely important. (You have your wedding day to be uncomfortable!
Ok, you don’t have to be uncomfortable that day either.) I know basic black is always in, but I think you should wear something colorful, it’s your time to shine honey!
guest
What did you end up wearing?
