The Golden Dilemma

As the title goes.

I'm leaving my other entries for another time, as I have this big question mark stuck in the depths of my teeny tiny brain.

In any case, I'm attending SDJ's IU Day on the 14th of June in the Crystal Crown Hotel, with the theme The Golden Era in the USA. The attire stated is Smart/Casual concerning the 60s to the 80s, and trust me, I'm totally clueless about it. Till Autopsy Jude enlightened me on that part XD

Anyway, I've been getting mixed responses about the whole attire issue, since it's considered weird-looking to be following the theme as the majority (not including Najwa and Naomi) thinks it's really outdated and lame, and instead got to the smart idea of wearing just a plain tee and jeans.

Question, what's the use of a theme anyway if not to follow it? Well, I'm not that knowledgeable in matters of functions such as these, so correct me if I'm wrong.

But anyways, I'm torn between what to wear, and now I'm asking YOUR honest, sincere opinion which is the most suitable for this function.

So, here goes nothing X)

Option 1 :

A white top with slightly puffed sleeves and a long satiny-like black polka-dotted skirt, which belongs to my mum, haha. And plus point, those polka dots actually go rainbow coloured with the right lighting =D This ensemble is more to casual I guess.

Option 2 :

The same white top from Option 1, and another pastel coloured skirt with a bow at the side belonging to my mum. Looks more smart to me.

Option 3 :

I just got this gorgeous dress from my aunt today. It's really RRRREEEEAAAALLLLLLY vintage, dates all the way back to the 80s. Has major puffed sleeves, broad neckline, and that's a rose design you're seeing XD My aunt used to wear this during her dates X) Both smart and casual in one piece.

But now the question is, do all of these options look like they popped out from the Golden Era in the USA? Opinions are much and highly appreciated in my tagbox please. Or sms, MSN, the likes =)

Next, the bag issue. You gotta be thinking I'm some brainless girl who can't even choose what to wear for a function. Don't blame me, it's the first time I'm attending another school's IU, so pardon the outdatedness XD

Bag 1 :

Another one of my aunt's. Guess what, it's entirely made out of plastic bags, woven into a bag design. Really cute, but pretty small for my liking. Anyway, it's for the outfit and my aunt who said I must put it to good use so, what do you guys think? =]

Bag 2 :

And fine, another one of my aunt's, like seriously, but she gave this one to me a year ago =}

And, I couldn't resist the temptation to snap pictures of me looking so different. Hahah.


And two shall do till the function is over XD
