Thanks to the readers who heeded my desperate plea, I successfully chose an outfit for my Saturday Meet the Parents extravaganza! The blue embroidered dress (ironed and sans shadows that look like boob sweat) won by a generous margin and turned out to be a perfect choice for the humid weather. More to the point, all went swimmingly! Will certainly be soliciting opinions again next time I have such a weighty decision.
