[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. It's like this. If I wear a casual dress and sandals, I automatically look more dressed up than DH in khaki shorts and old running shoes and polo and DS in the same, minus a plain t-shirt.

But I'm too overweight to wear shorts and even when I wear jeans, I stick out. Know what I mean?[/quote]

Can you show us an example of the kind of dress you're wearing, and what shoes you'd wear with it? I'm just having a hard time picturing what you are wearing, that you feel so out of place with your family.

Something like this: https://www.jcrew.com/p/womens/categories/clothing/dresses-and-jumpsuits/afternoon-dress-in-gathered-floral-block-print/BI600?display=standard&fit=Classic&color_name=batik-block-with-lurex&colorProductCode=BI600 with this: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Italian-Shoemakers-Womens-Cruise-Wedge-Sandals/926006618[/quote]

Ahhh - so that's the issue. That's a great dress and you can easily make it look more casual by wearing more casual shoes. Those wedges are a little dressy - more dressy than you need with that dress. If you don't mind your feet being covered, get some canvas sneakers - that'll dress it down. If you don't like your feet being covered, then maybe something like this:

Other people probably have good sandal suggestions (I mostly wear clogs, myself).

But yeah, this one is easy to solve. New shoes that are less dressy. Case closed. [/quote]
