AAFB Officer's Club - dressing help

[Speedy70]

I'm attending a function there this evening and I'm at a loss as of what to where. I've never been there before so I don't want to underdress or overdress.

Are nice capris with heels suitable?

Depends on the function. If it's just an awards dinner or something of that sort, slacks and a nice blouse (something you'd wear into the office) is appropriate. If the function is marked "Business casual", you should wear a jacket and up the ante a little.

The O-Club at Andrews is much nicer than the one at PAX, and much more well attended, so if I were you I wouldn't skimp on the protocol.

I hate capris. They just make me wonder if whoever is wearing them doesn't have enough money to buy a full length set of pants, or has crappy thighs that makes them ashamed to wear regular shorts.

Having said that, I wear capris. But it's because I can't afford regular pants AND I have realy fat thighs.

The function is a retirement party for the retired CEO of P.G. Co. Public Schools if that helps any.

I do have a new skirt that I have yet to wear. I've gained weight recently and none of my slacks fit.

Maybe the skirt would be more suitable than the capris.

TY ladies.

I was in Target the other day (I'm there at least twice a week) and I noticed some really cute dresses. One was solid black w/a v-neck front; the other was black and white and the same v-neck style. I think they were like $25 or something.

Old Navy has some cute skirts that flow out at the bottom for cheap. Several different colors and patterns.
