seems like a fashion dilemma but it's really much more.

I disagree with JH1 about arriving early. She is the boss, not your aunt so the *rules* are different. The fact that you are bringing all that stuff is MORE than enough. The handmade gift would be a very nice touch, but I wouldn't do it unless I liked the woman or REALLY wanted to brown-nose. Nothing wrong with brown-nosing. Seems a smart move in fact. As for whether or not to kiss her. If she is not a warm person, I wouldn't. It might make HER feel awkward. But if she leans in when greeting you then the *air hug and kiss* would be more than acceptable.

As for dress, I would wear something in between as there will be guests from other countries. If it were me (which you are not so my advice is like everybody else's asshole LOL) I would feel dutibound to dress up a bit as I would feel I am representing the US. I would wear a long casual skirt and nice T (read = no boobs or midsection hanging out and nothing with GAP printed across the chest but something made of T-shirt fabric but a bit nicer perhaps with a cute print or some such). I ALWAYS feel a nice long casual skirt is appropriate. It is casual but comfortable and a bit dressy. You can either dress it up or down with your accessories. I wear long skirts A LOT as I am short and this makes me appear to be taller not to mention the comfort can't be beat and I enjoy being a bit dressed up.

Just my .02

As for when to arrive 4:30 seems a safe time. Some Europeans are infamous for being late while punctuality is big in other cultures ie Germans are well-known for punctuality while a Magyar couldn't be on time if their life depended on it.

ah, good advice. thanks.
i own a few long skirts- that's not a bad idea. (i don't wear printed t's).
i'll see if i have time to make her something. I have a few little pieces already made- maybe that's a good compromise. nothing big and expensive, but a nice gesture.

What will the weather be like? Is it still hot enough to wear a skirt? I would wear a skirt and that says, "hi, this is important enough for me to not wear my work clothes, but I'm still casual and want to have a good time". I doubt anyone will be professional dressed, but might not be in jeans. I dunno though. Whenever I'm in doubt, even a BBQ, if I dont know the ppl I always wear a skirt / sundress and bring a jacket /sweater in case of unwanted boobage


I really dont know what I would do here.

if it were me ; I'd be there at 4:00.

sorry not much help i guess

1) what boobage is ever unwanted? Nevermind, I've seen boobs I don't want.

2) I didn't know clothes - or for that matter, skirts - said anything. But now that you mention it. I've seen skirts that said "Lift me up and fuck the hell outta me"

well sometimes shirts show a little boobs, or those shelf bra tanks I wear sometimes can be a little much when you bend over. Its a good idea to keep covered when you are around people you dont know!

Unwanted boobage is when I feel uncomfortable with how much I'm showing, not really anyone else.

no, that was good.
i'll wear a long skirt and a solid black shirt, v-neck, but not too low.
my boobage is hard to hide though.

Good advice on the sundress. Goodness how I LOVE sundresses.

I just prefer dresses/skirts no matter what the occassion. I dress up or down depending on the hat. I know... that is quirky me but I LOVE my hats.

 

[fistfullofsteel]

me too! Thats all I wear unless I'm staying at home. I dont wear hats much tho unless I'm out in the sun or something. I'm trying to wear the crap out of all my sundresses right now while its still warm during the day.
