What to wear for an engagement party
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 going to be buffet, maybe outside we don't know yet...
I need your ideas all of them!
should I wear a dress? pastel colors? Bright colors?

Oh, you should definitely wear a dress! Trousers seem too casual, and if you wear a skirt, you risk looking less eye-catching than one of the guests!
I think a nice long, elegant dress. :) Maybe something like this:

Nothing too puffy or big, save that for the wedding. :D Just something pretty, and to keep the limelight on yourself.
And I don't think bright colours, like yellow or something. Something nice like red or beige, that would be cute.
Anyway, congratulations! I am so happy for you. :)
the dress above may be too bold and out there. it is an engagemnt party so i do not think you should wear a red dress. itll makes you seem too sinful in a way. lol
i like an elegant off white color, like this: http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/catalog/prod.jhtml?itemId=prod90540006&ecid=NMCIBizrateFeed&srccode=cii_10043468&cpncode=19-28701276-2
thanks for the comment by the way :)
Maybe a brown or a grey dress, a color that you don't wear a lot but that can be nice.
I have pick up some ideas on french websites :
1. This (notthe black one, the blue/grey) + a nice belt (silver or black), leggins or tights and some heels, with a nice necklace and something in you hair. so, dgry blue and silver !
Simple, but can be nice !
2. white dress, not too long but pretty. A bit expensive (45 euros) on pricemin***
3.A long dress I know where to find this in my vity, but don't know in Paris.. Here it's a shop (two in fact) with chinese leaders : not so expensive, lot of choice. (here forthis dress, 40 euros)
Three so different ideas (my favorite is number 2, I think that this dress will be so pretty on you, I fall in love with !).
or this ! Well, not for engagement, but nice dress for everydaylife !
@OhItWontBeForever@xanga - Thank you! I love the color of the dress! I'd like to find something with this color it goes very well with my skin tone.
@petite_fleurette@xanga - you're welcome. Cute dress!
@Begierde - thank YOU :)
I bet you will look great anyway, I am sure. :D
Show us the dress that you choose! Yeah, red is a gorgeous colour. It seems to complement a lot of people. :)
Bonne chance et félicitations, ma chere. :D
@OhItWontBeForever@xanga - merci! i'll show you a picture of course!
De rien! Yaaaaay. :D Je l'attends avec impatience! Je vais pratiquer mon Francais avec vous. D'accord? XD
@OhItWontBeForever@xanga - Ah mais bien sûr! je ne savais pas si je pouvais tout écrire en français! C'est génial si je peux aider quelqu'un à apprendre le français. Je pense faire un article sur le français. Et aussi en faire un sur un challenge à propos des mots interdits! ( celui dont on a parlé sur le blog de Serenadante)
Ici à paris il est 10.50 PM... L'heure d'aller dormir!
Bonne nuit!
(tell me if something sounds weird to you lol and if you see something weird in my english you can also tell me.)
Sure! (how would we say that en Francais?)
J'ai appris le Francais depuis 8 ans, maintenant. Je suis Arabe, mais mon Francais et plus mieux que mon Arabe. :D Haha.
Je m'intéresse a lire au sujet du Francais, so yay!
Ahhhh Pariiiis. <3 Paris me manque vraiment trop!! J'y suis allée en 2008, et c'était la meilleure semaine de ma vie!
Alors, bonne nuit! Fais des beaux reves.
I'd say you should wear a short, red dress. Like I've told you before, red would look great on your complexion; also, it is a bold color.
However, find something that will stand out and make you feel as special as you look.
congrats!!!! i'd suggest a one-piece in pastel colour. maybe lavender
Ouaaaah toutes mes félicitations @__@ tu dois être aux anges.
Par contre quoi porter j'en sais rien du tout. Ca dépend de toi surtout. J'en sais trop rien, des couleurs pastels pastels pourquoi pas. Et une robe ce serait encore mieux (Mais il fait froid à Paris ces temps ci par contre :s )
@funambule@xanga - Tu as vu comme il faid froooiid à paris. je ne perd pas espoir. Arf tu n'a pas di'dée ou je pourrai trouver un truc a un prix correct donc... je préfère mettre de l'argent dans le repas, parce qu'avoir une belle robe et servir des pates... lol
@funambule@xanga - et oui je suis aux anges!
@Meowmeowkimmaee@xanga - Thank you! I think i'll try to find something red. or green.. but not both, lol.
@Mercredi - I suggest a darker red or green for a more formal look and a lighter shade for a more casual/summer look.
@Meowmeowkimmaee@xanga - yes! I don't want to look like a christmas tree; i think i'll choose dark red. :) and black because the party is the night.
