It took some doing, but with the help of my mother, daughter, and middle granddaughter, we were able to narrow down and finalize my evening attire selections. And it was not an easy thing to do. But we did it in under an hour!!!!
Embarkation day is usually casual with some passengers waiting for their luggage when dinner time comes around. So we will be dining in the clothes we board the ship in. Something that is still in the planning stages but hopefully within a few days, that will be all ironed out.
We will be sailing on a 7-day cruise which means there will be 2 cruise elegant nights. This first one will be on our first sea day and the second one will be after we sail away from Cozumel. The remainder nights are casual, but not too casual.
On the first cruise elegant night, this is what I have selected.
I purchased this dress when my son got married 3 years ago as an option for my Mother of the Groom dress. But the tags are still on it and I’m hoping it still fits!!!! The earrings and shoes I plan on wearing are also included in the pictures.
We usually consider the second elegant night as another opportunity to get dressed up but not as much as the first elegant night. For this night, I have selected this dress that was in my second Stitch Fix box. The jewelry in also included in the pictures but I’m still not sold on my shoe selection. There is a chance I might wear the same shoes as I do on the first elegant night as the dress is real long and the shoes are not likely to be seen.
The remainder of the nights are casual with capris and tops being the order of the night!!! I do not know what order these will be worn in, but they will all be worn. At least that is the plan.
So what do you think of my choices?
In the next blog, I will share the shoes and jewelry I will be taking with me. I already have my jewelry all packed up.
