Am I Being Cheap?

I say wear it. no one is going to notice, their attention is going to be on the bride and groom. Have fun!

Girl let me tell you, I do that all the time, I go to the thirft stores though, nothing wrong with wearing it twice. Who cares now a days unless you are well to do! Then I have seen them wear stuff like that two. Cyndi I don't thinks its cheap at all escpecially in the world we live in now.

Here's how I live my life......who cares.....don't sweat the small stuff like this in your life, it takes away from the enjoyment of your moment to moment life. Wear the outfit, does it really matter if even EVERYONE there noticed you wore it twice? What would they do, point and stare and say "can you BELIEVE she wore that outfit AGAIN?" I doubt it, and if they do, then they've got issues!!

If it's been more than a week or two since the shower, WEAR IT AGAIN! Chances are no one will notice. If you're self-conscious about it, try changing up the accessories - add or change a belt or scarf. Wear some eye-catching jewelry to take the focus off the outfit -- a long and dangly, maybe even sparkly necklace; large broach, etc. I have a friend who has the EXACT SAME outfit in FIVE different colors. She accessories so well that she could wear the same outfit three days in a row and I wouldn't realize it.

I would recycle...who cares what people think :)

who is going to notice that you wore the same thing 2 months apart? the focus will be on the bride...

as long as you are dressed appropriately for the occasion i think that's all that matters.

maybe you can change the look with different jewelry/accessories/shoes? or get a little wrap or scarf or something?

L.,

Wear it again!

It's been 2 months? I doubt anyone will remember what you wore, they will be looking at the bride, and besides that, who cares what everyone else thinks. If you like the outfit, will likely not wear it again, might as well get 2 wears out of it.
Kind of like when I wore my wedding dress to go to a halloween party as a dead bride a month after i got married. LOL!

Do you recall what other guests wore to the shower? If not, I suspect people won't remember what you wore either.

That being said, you should be dressed appropriately for the wedding. If your 'shower outfit' is suitable for the style of wedding they're having, then you're fine. If not, you should look for a different outfit. In the spirit of saving money, shop your local consignment shops or borrow something from a friend.

I see you're in Barberton. There is a consignment shop in Canton called Encore, and they have a huge room of dresses and 'social wear'.

Good luck!

Wear the same outfit. In the whole scheme of things, who cares? If you like the outfit, you might as well get the use out of it. Why spend money on a new one.

I agree with the other moms.. As long as it is wedding appropriate who cares if you wear it again. I got married in April and to be honest except for my closest family members ( mom, sister ect), I cant remember what anyone wore to my wedding and I got married in April, I highly doubt that anyone will remember that you wore that dress in April..

For me, there are several factors that would influence my decision.

Is it a family member, a good friend or someone close to me.
This would help me determine how important a role I have at the wedding.
At my husband's and my wedding one of her closest cousins came wearing a "gap like" tube shirt and some bla pants or jenas, can't remember, very informal, her huaband also looked like he was going to a cook out.
I thought it was very rude and disrespectful.
Despite of how they normally dress, for her wedding he wore a suit. An older and out of style suit (he has now bought a new one but the point was the consideration)

I think it all boils down to personal opinion. My personal opinion is that I would NEVER wear the exact same outfit to two functions of the exact same people in such a small time frame. Don't get me wrong, I do re-wear dresses and such all the time, and sometimes there are similar people there, but I wouldn't do it at a wedding either. If you really cannot afford something new that is a different story. Maybe borrow something or you can take the outfit you wore to the shower and sell it at Plato's Closet (or other consignment shop) or on ebay and invest that money into something new. Especially if you really won't be wearing that sort of outfit again. Also try and find something more your style that you could dress up or down so that you might be more likely to wear again. Again, this boils down to if you basically care whether or not people may or may not be talking about the fact that you are wearing the same outfit again. If you don't mind then that is great! I am just one on those people who don't like to be talked about and my feelings can get hurt easy. If it was a wedding with all of my friends I just know how they are and they would talk. Good luck and have fun at your wedding.

I would not wear the same outfit to a shower and wedding. Typically, showers are not as formal, so I would just wear something that you already own that is more casual to the shower and wear what you bought to the wedding. I don't think you are being cheap. I wouldn't want to buy two outfits either.
