What to Wear: BBQ Birthday Party

I'm throwing Dan a birthday party on Friday. He's a little less enthused than one might hope about turning 36. So I thought it would be fun to bring all his favorite elements together to help celebrate: BBQ'd meats, southern sides, 30 of his friends & family, a backyard on a beautiful evening and whiskey. It's going to be a really fun night. But as hostess of this shin-dig, I've got to figure out what to wear!

Outfit requirements:
* Cool - it's going to be 90 degrees here on Friday and the party is outdoors
* Show off my bust- a peak of cleavage will be one of Dan's birthday presents
* A bright color - I always think it's nice for the hostess to stand out in the crowd just in case someone needs something.
* Moveable - we'll be playing yard games and I'll be refilling drinks & food. Moveability is essential.

Here are three ideas that might fit the bill. What do you think?




Strapless embroidered dress- Forever 21

Multi-color crystal earrings- Lane Bryant

Plus Aside wedge sandals- Jessica London



Purple graphic maxi- City Chic

Butterfly Sunglasses- Forever 21

Belted Lace Trim Top - Loop 18

  1. It'd go for the first look, since it looks the most comfortable.
