Back in January my sweet husband and I were cleaning out the garage when we came across the duffle bag with his Army National Guard uniform, circa 1971. It was a little snug, but we decided to have it cleaned and pressed and thought maybe he could wear it for his upcoming birthday in October.
Well. A few weeks ago a friend invited us to an event known as Dining Out, which is apparently a revered military tradition in which servicemembers and veterans get together for a formal dinner. Hubby tried on his uniform, and lo and behold, after two rounds of Whole 30, it fit (photo 1)! So he decided to go, and I was lucky enough to get a new ballgown out of the deal! Oh, and one of our friends who was also present said I looked "like Cinderella all grown up," which may be the nicest compliment I've ever received!
The even was held in a very swanky private club in downtown LA. As you can see from the photo, very fancy indeed! (Look at that ceiling in the dining room!) So fun! They even had a bagpiper to pipe us in to the dining room!
Thanks for looking and letting me share!
