Hi Sarah,
I read that you had been on a cruise to Alaska. Was it the Sea Princess? I am trying to decide what to wear for the formal nights.
MIL has warned not to dress too formally--that the ones who are really all done up look obnoxious, and I don't want to really stand out, but it would be fun to be pretty! Hubby will be wearing a suit and tie, so I'm not looking for a long gown or super flashy. I am borderline plus size, so it's hard to find something that fits just on a whim-- I really have to work for it!
I have a little black dress that will work for one of the nights. Then I ordered this:

(the straps need shortened just a touch) and the color is really pretty-- not too minty or bright, just right. However, it is a pricey dress for me, and I would still need to find some sort of a cardi or wrap to match it, and shoes.
Do you think this dress is too dressy or too formal? Should I look for something more casual and practical? (The silk chiffon could snag really easily-- and I have little kids!)
I would love to hear any fashion advice you would have about the whole cruise! Thank you!
