I'm a very excited and proud sister!
My brother lives in Florida and is on his 16th year in the US Navy. I planned to visit him this winter during to escape the frozen hell that is a Michigan winter. He asked me if I could plan my vacation to coincide with his final reenlistment ceremony. I said yes, I would be honored to do so!
I asked him what kind of outfit I would need to pack to wear to the ceremony. He wasn't much help with his answer, which was something like, "Well, obviously it is a military thing, so you shouldn't wear Daisy Dukes and a tank top, but you don't have to dress up too much, so just dress up a little bit."
Ugh. Guys.
So, who has been to one of these that can give me a *little* more help than that? haha
I have a maxi dress that looks a lot like this picture. I also have a little black shrug that I could wear over it to dress it up just a bit. I wear it with platform sandals which you can't see anyway.
Would this outfit (with the shrug) be acceptable, or is it too casual and I should go with something more dressy?
For the record, I am not a dress up girl but I would wear whatever is appropriate to this kind of thing, if only I knew what that might be!
