Hi all and happy new year! I have a quick question!
So my wedding is here in 5 weeks. We went with black tie optional. I'm getting a ton of questions about what that entails which is totally fine. So I have one friend who was a bridesmaid but stepped down (luckily before I was going to ask her to step down) for a whole host of reasons - she wanted to be accommodated to the point she made my maid of honor cry. So when she was a bridesmaids, she always wanted the most revealing sexy dress. I just ignored her. Yesterday she texted me excitedly about her outfit for the wedding...it is a very sexy royal blue prom dress, complete with cut outs and gems. After everything I've dealt with, I am just think this is hilarious. The last wedding I attended with her in November, she wore something ridiculous and followed men into the bathroom all night. At this point I have other things to worry about that her ridiculous behavior and outfits, and I figure if she wants to look like a fool then let her.
However, my mom is LIVID because this is just indicative of friend's attention grabbing behavior, not because friend doesn't know how to dress. My mother wants me to tell her it's not appropriate.
Normally, I wouldn't ever tell someone their outfit isn't appropriate unless asked for feedback 1) because I have no desire to embarrass anyone and 2) we are adults ans should be able to figure it out.
Does anyone have any thoughts? Should I listen to my mother and address it or just roll with it and allow things to unfold.
