I am in deep denial about a wedding I must attend this weekend. I haven't started looking for a dress, shoes, bag, gift. I did buy new mascara, but that's it.

The OM's brother is getting married and their mother has arranged and paid for everything except for selection of the bridal attendants' dresses. Had my future sister-in-law been older and wiser, she would have handed that decision off to the mother-in-law as well.

The wedding is at 1 pm at an elegant historic home in Houston. I am tempted to recycle something from my wardrobe -- a bright silk chiffon skirt with a little beading. I don't know why I am thinking separates instead of a dress or dinner suit, aside from my incredible laziness, general distate for weddings, and a complete hatred of his family's weddings, since there will be absolutely no alcohol served to deaden the pain. Oh, and no dancing. Or fun. At least with the no dancing, it will be short.

Is there any reason I should avoid wearing chiffon to an afternoon wedding?

I would go with something with extra room to hide the flask.
