I wore a really cute dress with a 3/4 sleeve cardigan over it. it was in the beginning of december and super cold so I went with leggings under it. looked great! his mom and i shared a hotel room and she saw me when i got dressed and was like "that outfit is so great!" lol and the boots i had were lightly scandleous haha they were knee high stiletto boots. SUCKED to walk in. i had a flatter shoe that i changed into once we got back to the hotel before we headed into downtown chicago. NO WAY i was walking around in those all day my feet were killing me from walking from the parking garage to the drill hall, then over to the nex....which was all a decent walk but they were still fairly new shoes...so make sure your heels or boots or whatever shoes are broken in! it's a loooooooooong day on your feet girls!

Just my opinion... But I would find simplier tights. Those look like fish nets and while you're sailor may think those are hot, it could be seriously embarassing. You do NOT want to be the girlfriend/fiancee/wife his whole division is talking about Friday night because you looked like a.. I'm not sure the best way to put this so I'm just going to say it.. slut.
I love love LOVE your dress and cardigan and the flats are a super good idea! :)

I thought the dress looked really nice! And I was going to say that carrying flats would probably be a good idea because I've heard that there's a lot of walking. I had planned to put some sandals in my bag just in case I didn't want to be teetering around on heels that afternoon.

Thank you Virginia. I appreciate it. I will show you at PIR the tights look so different in person!

Don't get all offended. I wasn't trying to be a bitch. Just trying to save you from being the center of trash talk back in the barracks. Because every other sailor will notice them... along with every other girlfriend/fiancee/wife.
He's going to love how you look no matter what--- you could just roll out of bed and not even brush your hair and he'd think you look beautiful (he might wonder whats wrong with you but he'd still be more than happy to see you). He hasn't seen you in 8 weeks, he's going to notice you're outfit, but it won't be THAT important... Let's admit it here, he's going to be more worried about kissing and hugging you and getting you behind closed doors than what you're wearing.
As for support: I'm pretty sure I told you how much I loved your dress and cardigan...
