I'm invited to this party and they have a theme for wearing smart casual dress. I have just normal summer dresses (not expensive) and I am expected to have cocktail dress. What is the point of all this materialism when you are just going there to say farewell to your dear friend who is leaving for overseas? I mean isn't the entire idea of a party is just to gather up and have some good time other than the focus being on your dress? Seriously, I cannot afford an expensive dress because I am on a benefit and whatever the money I get is being spent on my medicine (5 medicines a day and they are costing me a fortune), medical examination and other necessary things (Petrol, bus fair, grocery etc).
Before knowing the theme of the party I bought a floral dress thinking that it is summer and that would be alright but now I will probably have to live up to the standards. I know I am being cheap but my financial condition is not good. I am applying for any jobs and not getting any luck so far so I am tight with money at the moment. I cannot refuse to go to the party since he asked me twice face to face to come. So it is kinda rude to disrespect someone's invitation.
Please suggest??
