I mean…this is stuff that happened 30 years ago. It’s entirely possible these two have become non-aholes since middle school.

Nope - very very likely they will hurt her feelings again.

Mid-40s here! I come across new mean girl moms all the time. Now that I have a middle schooler I tell her many women get stuck in this part of their social development. It's a time for growth and she need to grow through it.

Don't go. There's literally nothing good that will come from it. Even if they are nice now and have grown up, it won't erase the hurt of the past, you'll just be reminded of how awkward it felt.

I wanna be your friend. Damn those 19 lbs

What a great sweater - and what a great price!

I’m seeing a very plain sweater. Not sure it has anything to it. Maybe I’m missing it!

I would wear skinny misrule slightly distressed black jeans, ankle boots or Chelsea boots (I also have grey suede boots with 3 inch block heel, mid calf), crocheted grey free people fuzzy cropped cardigan over with silky camisole or satiny shirt in a blush color. Rose lipstick, plain nails, mascara. Done.

OP - what did you end up wearing, and how was the evening?

Lol this is an outfit that could be pulled off by like .0001% of women over the age of 35. And I say that as a woman over the age of 35. You have to be tall, thin, and incredibly beautiful for this to work (i.e. you have to be Hailey Bieber).

I was thinking that too. Terrible recommendation. For a woman of OP's description, that is frump central (it would be for me as well)

Stick to your skinny jeans and red nails.

NP and I agree…these nails always look tacky and gross to me. And I love fun colors, just think the French manicure in black/brown/etc look gross.

Red nails look gross and tacky?

Nothing could be more classic but okayyyyyyyy

No, you're confused...the PP thought the black-tip manicures were tacky and gross, not the red nails.

Update OP?

What a great sweater - and what a great price!

PP here - I have it and compared it to the jenni kayne sweater and they’re almost identical!

Agree! I loooove the jenni fisherman crew sweater but the quince is nearly identical - not the same color palatte tho (which is something i love about jenni kayne).

The Quince sweater comes in a cashmere version (the one linked above is the cotton version). It's only a little pricier, still under $100, and comes in a more subtle color palette. Still not quite as refined as the JK but a little closer of a dupe for a steal.

I say this as someone who has absolutely no problem paying $$$$ for high quality fashion items, and purchases such items plenty, but I really do think JK is over-priced.
