I have a special event coming up and I need help. We are having a family reunion in July and I don't know what to wear! My family is loud, big and opinionated and will tell you what they think whether you want to hear it or not. This is why I love them, but I digress. I haven't seen most these people in the 7 years since my wedding. I weighed 30lbs more than. The reunion is being held at a state park by the water. So I want to look fantastic because they will gossip!! But it will also be the dead of summer so I need to stay cool and I don't do sleeveless.
What would you suggest in this situation?
