work related- what to wear?

[undecidedowl]

I have to go to an awards dinner for work tomorrow night. I have no desire to go but my boss is encouraging it since it's supposed to be a big deal (which apparently means they get to take up my whole evening, booo.)

Anyway, the invite says "Dress: Business casual, (some will wear coat and/or tie)"

What do I wear?

[Deleted]

I would wear a conservative cocktail dress.

Wrap dress, skirt and blouse/sweater, heals. I wouldn't go cocktail dress, but I wouldn't go pants.

Wrap dress or sheath dress.

Definitely a dress with heels and nice jewelry. Always better to be more formally dressed than too casual.

[mcfelix]

Dress with sleeves or with a cardigan. I would not wear a cocktail dress.

Damn. I was afraid "you all" would say that! I don't want to go and I don't want to get dressed up! Lol. It starts at 5:30, do I come home and change first? I don't even know what I have that fits right now.

Crap, that means I have to shave too.

Wrap dress is good too. Nice jewelry.

I'd wear what I wear to work.

That's more like what I want to hear lol. But, how formal/informal would that be? I wish I had something in between my daily wear and a nice dress but my PP wardrobe is a bit lacking.

This. I'd dress up a bit (I'm in a casual office, but no strange looks when you dress up) and just go straight from the office.

I don't think it matters. Men wear suits and women wear everything. I wouldn't be more formal than a dressy day at work.
