And a shame it is, too. We always try to look at least halfway
"respectable"for these things, i.e. dress for me, coat and tie for him.

nice restaurants....... ;-}

Nice restaurants, yes, Glynebourne, yes, but The Young Vic? Nah,
student venue, that! Bench seats and mop & bucket for the blood between
acts - all in the round!
Pete Postlethwait was brilliant, mind. Worth the torture!

What constitutes dress up? For me it's very nice pants, a pretty blouse
and a jacket, sometimes it's a skirt. Always flat heel shoes because I'd
break my neck in anything else. I also wear jewelry. Usually necklace
and earrings. Talking about earrings, I started making my own. They are
easy to do and very much what I want and not what some store has for me
to buy.

It's easier to define what's NOT dressed up:
flip-flops
ragged cutoffs
Birkenstocks
'camis' with bra straps showing
bottoms (on men or women) with "love-handles" showing
rips and tears, deliberate or not
screen printed Ts with vulgar sayings or beer ads

Dressed up for me also includes nice slacks and flat shoes,
a tucked in blouse with a jacket, or a well designed tunic.
Also, having a little makeup on, my hair well groomed, and
my nails clean and polished. Earrings essential, necklace
optional.
It involves being "put together" in such a way that my
mother would have been proud to be seen with me. No white
gloves or hat though. ;-) Yeah, I turn 70 next month and
Mom died 38 years ago, but
what-would-have-been-her-good-opinion still matters... a
lot.
This jacket I'm planning is for the BD celebration with my
aunt, twin sister and brother. We were all (including my
DH) born a day either side of May 13, and we've celebrated
together for years. This year my aunt will be 80! I was
born on her 10th BD. We're all going to a very nice
restaurant, and I'm planning a celebratory cake for dessert.
