The Hotlist Party

Steve and I had tickets to the SRQ Hotlist Party. It's a party that is sponsored by all that is trendy in Sarasota and one of my good friends was the event planner for it. So, Saturday afternoon, my friends and I began to discuss what we were going to wear for this party. My friend Lara started off by saying, I'll tell you what's not hot in 2007, it's me and my closet! None of us shop any more to own any new and trendy clothes. I mean, we never go out, and if we do, who do we have to impress? Our husbands! They would rather we didn't spend the money on cute trendy clothes that we never get to wear anyway.

So, at 7:30, Frank arrived to watch the boys and I scrambled through my closet to find something to wear. At last, I pulled on a brown jersey dress that Steve and I thought looked somewhat trendy and that looked good enough to wear to the Hotlist Party. The question is.....How unfashionabl am I really? I turned 30 two weeks ago. I bought this dress for a spring date party my Junior year in college (I was 20). So this dress was cool 10 years ago when I was in college. Do I really think what was cool 10 years ago is cool now? Cool enough to wear to a hotlist party with Sarasota's trendy elite? Well, no one pointed and laughed, so I guess I made it through the night without having to spend money on a dress I would probably never wear again. Steve and I had a great time without kids for a few hours, so I guess that's what counts!
