Carnegie Hall - What to Wear?

<p>Thanks so much for all the wonderful advice and excellent ideas - we are exhausted (finally found a rental house, signed the new lease yesterday, and we’re scrambling to move on top of schedules that are already overwhelmed), so we haven’t had a chance to circle back to this yet. CGM I agree she doesn’t want to look like him - she will want to look like a girl, and she will want to wear a nice dress, and, I think the little black dress is what she’ll end up doing. </p>

<p>I’m in NYC tomorrow (where I’m hearing it’s like a zillion degrees below zero - brrrrr), but some free time Wednesday afternoon, maybe I can shop for a coat for her while I’m there. Mom60 good idea re Ross, we have those here, I’ll try that too, or encourage her to try that option. </p>

<p>I hate shopping when you HAVE to have something - it seems like when you don’t need anything and just wandering around shops, you find fabulous clothing and endless, awesome choices - and actually, when you really don’t have any money to spend that works double - but, when you just have to have a particular thing, and especially if you’re prepared to pay for it no matter what the price - you cannot find it no matter how hard you try…</p>

<p>Citygirlsmom - I like your sense of style. Great advise.
OP - since you are going to be in the City tomorrow, check out Lord & Taylor, great black dresses on their windows.</p>

<p>i just got this in black…its a strapless dress and a blazer</p>

<p>and we call it mission shopping - can’t look at ANYTHING else- so if its a black dress- we can only loook at those and black tops and skirts, which is another option</p>

<p>so don’t get distracted walk in walk out</p>

<p>CGM that’s an excellent suggestion, thank you for the link. That looks like a very nice option, extremely attractive.</p>
