Awww, thank you all so much! It ended up being a fun evening. As I suspected, there were definitely short, tight, low cut clothes (often in the same outfit), nails, hair and makeup all done to the nines, and sky high heels, but also (what I didn't factor in) were those in jeans, tees and comfortable shoes. As is my comfort zone, I fit somwhere right in the middle of it all, so I felt at ease. We had a good time connecting with friends and meeting new people so it was a wonderful time. Thank you all for your sweet words and support. You guys made it so much easier - and way more fun!

Just stopping in to say that you look gorgeous! I didn't get a chance to respond to the thread before. Glad you chose the red clutch...love it. And your makeup and hair and everything look absolutely amazing! I'm glad you enjoyed yourself and felt at ease.

So late to this thread, but I'm glad it turned out to be a successful evening, and a great outfit! Dressing like the "best version of yourself" is always a fab choice, and it's even better with the forum ready to help out!
