What is everyone wearing to PIR?
I'm trying to figure out what to wear! I don't really want to wear jeans. This is a big deal, want to show my son how proud I am and what a special occasion it is. But also want to be comfortable....What is everyone else planning on wearing?

I am wearing a nice jacket, shirt, pants and comfy shoes. I will be in red, white & blue! Will also have on the PIR ribbon I ordered. My husband is wearing nice jeans and button-up shirt.
Make sure you wear layers since weather may still be cool. Also want to wear comfortable walking shoes since there will be a fair bit of walking.

I am wearing either nice jeans or navy pants. Will also be wearing a ribbon but have not yet decided which color top I'm wearing. I am always cold so the weather will probably dictate my choice of top :)

I figure we will have to walk a ways between parking to the drill site and then back again. There will also be bleachers I'm guessing,,,, so I figure No dress, No Heels, but a nice pair of pants, flat shoes, and layers. Look for me in Navy Blue and white with a red skarf. My husband will wear.... what ever the wind blows in, most likely chinos, a blue oxford shirt and a Navy tie. If they SR will be dressed up then so will we. Mostly I'm more concerned about what to feed my son when we get to take him "home" / hotel. His favorite it Cuban but I don't want to drive all the way back to Chicago.
