HELP what to wear to pir.?

ok so theires alot of moms here who know what its like to be a huge pregnant person lol, i have been searching for something to wear to graduation and i need HELPP! everyone tells me "dont wear jeans it is disrespectful to your sailor after he did all that work he wants it to be special and dressy" well i decided i have the right to wear jeans cuz it is hard to find a dress or something else that makes me feel good and will make me look somewhat sexy for my fiance lol. so i am wondering 1.do u have any suggestions on what i should wear? i will be turning 7 months pregnant the day after graduation. 2.do you think if i just wear some nice jeans and a nice sweater "not hoodie" that it will be fine? GAHH this is harder then it should be lol

thank you(:

i am from minnesota and it has been -10 to -20 here the past week YIKES!

so i am just going to find a nice pair of jeans and a brown,grey.black knit type sweater (:

 

@doulak- from living in the cold i would suggest you just wear a shirt, sweater, then a jacket for top layers, you can just take them off as you get hot. then just your jeans/slacks should be fine, as for the long johns under i know from me being pregnant i would burn up once i was in the building with all of the people so i wont be doing that but if your from hawaii and really sensative to cold u may want to look into it(: good luck.

Under armour is also a good thing to wear underneath,  My husband wears that in South Dakota when he hunts.   Lets pray for a week of nice weather when we are there!!!!
