What to wear to the bosses house!
PLEASE HELP!
First off, I love your blog. I am so happy to have finally found some like-minded women when it comes to being fashionable yet appropriate. My husband says I dress like a frumpy housewife – which I am, by the way! I am a 33yo mom to 5 little ones. I barely have time to get THEM dressed and off to wherever they need to go, let alone worry about dressing myself! I recently completed my first triathlon (and in the training process lost nearly 50 pounds and dropped from a size 14/16 to an 8/10!!). I am on the taller side (5ft 7in), but still with some mommy belly (hey, 5 pregnancies in 6 years will do that to you) and larger thighs/hips (mostly genetics, but also from biking). Husband just came home from work and said we have a dinner with the boss coming up! YIKES!!! I have no clue what to wear. This dinner will be with a bunch of new physicians and their spouses at the Department Chairman’s house. It is probably business casual dress. What do I wear? Thanks for your help!

GWN, congratulations on your first triathlon and getting in shape! I love hearing success stories like yours! I have put together a very casual outfit however, I stayed away from blue jeans to help it not be too casual. The boots I put in the outfit (for this outfit) would be worn under the jeans, however, they would look super cute paired over some skinny jeans! I love the blouse and the pop of color it will give this outfit. Have fun shopping for your new figure and I’m sure you will look amazing!

I love the boots! I have been wondering for a while if I can get away with wearing boots over my jeans. Is there an age limit or a size limit to this trend? I am the exact same boat as this girl, I think we could be twins! I also starting doing triathlons after our 4th was born and got in really good shape. I would love to try the boots over jeans, I just want to make sure I don’t look dumb.
