Weddings...What to do?

It's Wednesday...that means it's time for me to open the iVillage mail bag...thanks again for all your great questions. 

Here is one from Bonnie...she writes:

I am attending a wedding soon , (a friend of my son's) which I won't know hardly anyone and not sure what to wear. It"s on a Friday, 5pm. Weather is cold here. Thanks!!!

I always get asked about what to wear for weddings...and it's such a tough question.  Here is what I am going to say Bonnie...how about a suit?  A beautiful black or grey or navy, tux-ish suit would look wonderful. Wearing it with a blouse with a giant ruffle collar, or just a gorgeous red lace bra if you want to be sexy...or pin a giant red flower to the lapel and you'll make a wonderful statement.  A good suit and a pair or black patent leather pumps and you'll look fantastic.  Have fun at the wedding. 

PS: You can find a good evening suit anywhere...Banana Republic, J. Crew, and a good department store will have a large selection of evening suits.  The one above is from Neiman Marcus.  And you'll be able to wear it over and over again. It's sort of the grown-up version of the "little black dress."
