[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a meet and greet for parents on a weekday evening.

What should I wear?

A. Business casual dress (theory)
B. Floral and colorful (lily pulitzer/zimmerman)
C. Black cocktail dress (Alice Olivia)
D. Fitted top with a skirt or nice shorts 
E. Button down with leggings and heels

If it matters, I don’t work so I will be coming from home, not work. I mostly wear athleisure and dresses. I do have a closet full of many dresses. I don’t want to look like I’m trying too hard for a meet and greet.[/quote]

You sound dull. Once people figure out you don’t work, they will not want to continue any conversation. At least, that’s what I do. Once I ask what you do and you say you don’t work,
I immediately start scanning the room for other opportunities.  [/quote]

You sound awful.  I’m an accomplished lawyer, but I would never assume that a SAHP is dull and not worth my time.  It’s the arrogant, self-important people I try hardest to avoid. [/quote]

Agree.  I always talk to the SAHM.  They are good for last minute school pick up, playdates, etc. and random snacks.  Never look a gift horse in the mouth.[/quote]

You sound like such a user. SAHMs are good for more than your cast-off chores. And the proper phrase is, "Never KICK a gift horse in the mouth." I'm a SAHM and even I know that.[/quote]
Right there with ya for the first two sentences, but you’re just plain wrong about the horse.

“ The phrase, “don't look a gift horse in the mouth” originates in St. Jerome's commentary (400 AD) on Paul's letter to the Ephesians. In Latin, the proverb is “Noli equi dentes inspicere donati” (never inspect the teeth of a given horse).”[/quote]
