My new Los Angeles blogging pal, Sanora, at Bad Maria has a problem. Her husband and she have been invited to a catered BBQ on Sunday, and the invitation says "California Casual attire." She’s a pretty down-to-earth gal, and is worried about what that means.
Does anyone know what "California" casual means? Is it one step up from casual or since we all wear jeans for the most part, one step down? I’m very confused by the term and if they were closer friends, I would call them up and say "what would be appropriate attire for this little catered BBQ soiree?" But I want to appear like hubby and I are down with all the frou-frou terminology and can show up, correctly attired, when invited.
Can anyone from California give her some advice?
I offered her some help, but she rejected me, saying I was too "trendy" for her. The truth is I’m a real trendsetter when it comes to fashion, always wearing the latest Fall fashion that I see at New York’s Fashion Week.
In fact, Sophia and I will be attending the same BBQ as Sanora, and we already bought some new hip clothes for the event. We each bought two outfits. Any advice on which is better for an outdoor BBQ?
FOR SOPHIA
FOR NEIL
By the way, on my second outfit, I’m not sure about that chain hanging from the pocket. What do you think? Also, can anyone recommend a good bikini wax place near West Hollywood?
Thanks for all your help!
