IAM Legislative Reception

I was invited to attend a IAM (International Association of Machinist Union) Legislative Reception on 3/31/09. When asked, the question was brought up if I had a formal dress. But that didn't matter because it would not need to be worn that it was a semi-formal/Church dress event. What my invitee really meant was Business attire. However, the damage was already done. I had been confused and was worried about what to wear. I picked two dresses to wear and would change somewhere in Tallahassee before the dinner which turned into Dairy Queen. I was still freaking out about choosing the best dress to wear. My hair looks great and it was storming outside!
