Formal means formal!


I was told to bring a semi-formal outfit for a members board meeting they were having – an annual meeting.  So, I packed a dress that I’ve worn to weddings in the states.  Apparently, it is not formal enough.  Now I know, for future reference, semi-formal in the Philippines means very formal!  Shopping for formalwear in the states is hard enough for me.  To do it in another country on a tight schedule…
New dress, Filipiana scarf to not look so boring American, and new shoes.  My shoes are too casual, and was going to borrow heels from my friend at the office, but seriously… I feel like a giant here, and the last thing I want to do is wear heels and make myself even more of a giant.
