We’re ten days away from the wedding in California.<\/p>\n

Two problems:<\/p>\n

a) I don’t have a present yet. Yes, I know. I can buy off the registry if need be. It’s just so … unoriginal. And from one Wesleyan grad to another, it does seem that the gift almost begs to be original. Any ideas?<\/p>\n

b) I have to pick a dress. I have four choices:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Red satin with plunging neckline, worn to Caroline’s and Sam’s weddings.<\/li>\n
  2. Pink silk sheath, worn to Jason’s and Wendy’s weddings.<\/li>\n
  3. Pink flowered linen party dress.<\/li>\n
  4. White linen full-skirted party dress.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I just modeled them for Rudi, who votes for one of the two linen dresses. It’s an outdoor Saturday night wedding in Southern California. Is linen too informal? I know we’ve abandoned the taboo on wearing black to weddings; how do we feel about guests wearing white?<\/p>\n

    I’ve got a week and would love some feedback.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
