Richard serves as the treasurer on the board of a local charity. They hold a fundraising gala every other year. Two years ago we attended as behind-the-scenes workers. We set-up, provided general assistance, and then ran the credit cards of high-rollers as they made donations or paid for the packages they won in the silent auction.
I felt like a little girl, admiring all the women in their beautiful gowns. I asked Richard if someday we would be able to attend as guests. He laughed a little and told me “Maybe.”
Well now he is on the board and he informed me a few days ago that we had two seats at a table at the event. We are going to be guests. I felt giddy and excited about dressing up and busting out these.
Not to mention I don’t drink alcohol, which I believe might be the only thing that could help me feel at ease.
And what am I going to wear?

I can loan you my zebra pants…oh wait…black tie. Nevermind.

I've always wanted to go to fundsy. You can't go wrong with black and add something sequined, even a little scarf or something, or some glittery sliver.You will look wonderful. The shoes are perfect.

Black is easy and very sexy! Then liven it up with some fun color or glittery stuff! Give Brooke a call and see what fun stuff she has. I'm jealous! That sounds like fun! Anything with your hubby has got to be great!
