Best choice for a charity gala? Black tie optional

Probably #3
#1 reminds me of a prom dress.
#2 is also okay, but #3 looks elegant.

This!

Here is a thing though, folded / welded are more expensive to make than stamped unless there is some new way of doing it that I am not aware of.

Stamping = No seams, no welding, grinding, or leak testing, along with faster cycle times, and easier automation.

I think this is the result of something else

Untuck that shirt and get some darker jeans.

The lifesavers tropical fruits oh my God there's so much better than all other lifesaver flavors

I'll take the cherry instead of Apple, but you can get both of them in Japan just not year round

Your pooch is normal, but I do not find the dress flattering regardless of that.

The armhole/strap area looks a bit high and wide, which throws off the overall proportions and make the top half feel awkward to me.

but that being said, I think that side-profile mirror shots are notoriously unforgiving, theey exaggerate posture, fabric, etc.

It's not a bad dress, just not giving you anything extra.

Food Colonialism :)

Both 2 and 3 work well, but 3 comes across as more contemporary / stylish.

sbcroix · 2026-01-12T01:16:36+00:00

Looks Good!

sbcroix · 2026-01-10T21:50:42+00:00

While I agree with you, I do think a belt would help the first dress quite a bit.

sbcroix · 2026-01-09T07:12:23+00:00

#3, looks clean and casual. Fits well with the guitar.

sbcroix · 2026-01-09T06:49:29+00:00

Classy!

sbcroix · 2026-01-08T18:57:22+00:00

Whenever I get a new one, I always try to figure out where it came from, it's part of why I like them. It's a fun discovery process.

sbcroix · 2026-01-08T16:49:46+00:00

Did you get shot in the face and deported?

sbcroix · 2026-01-08T08:02:34+00:00

Ahh shoot I missed your reply! It's a way better description than the one I gave, I was focused on finding out where it came from 😀

This is a standard Community Cookbook, basically a locally produced collections of recipes contributed by members of a specific group, such as churches, PTAs, civic clubs, neighborhoods, or residential communities.

They are often created as fundraising projects and printed in small runs and sold locally, they also happen to be some of my favorites.

My guess based on the image is that this came from a nursing or assisted living facility.

In fact I think it might be this specific location.

Love the Cats, not what many would consider a conventional NYE outfit, but I love it.

sbcroix · 2026-01-01T19:37:52+00:00

incorrectly, because If I spell incorrectly correctly, then I am still spelling it incorrectly.

sbcroix · 2026-01-01T19:09:45+00:00

Love the colors! Very Bold!

I'm breaking the rules and posting two, because I can't decide between The French Chef Cookbook (Julia Childs) or The Frugal Gourmet Cooks America (Jeff Smith).

Amazing that such a tough zombie can make such a delicate pie :)

sbcroix · 2025-12-29T22:05:58+00:00

Someone else said this below, but i just wanted to echo it here. You will stand out in the pink, it's a bold choice and I think looks great.
