Why we LOVE Betty! 

Betty is Georgia's first Miss America winner since 1958! Way to take the crown home to the Peach state, Betty! 

We love her platform! "Healthy Children, Strong America" is truly inspiring. Her actions and platform have lead her to be a National Goodwill Ambassador for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. This is only her 1st week and she's already touched so many children's lives! 

Betty's father is an Army Ranger! We love a Miss America who supports the troops.

What are you wearing to #HOMECOMING2015?

Cruise Attire

 

All aboard! Now that summer is nearly here, we know you're thinking about your upcoming cruise that you have booked! Cruises can be beautiful, relaxing, and so much fun! They also can cause stress over what to pack. While bathing suits, casual wear, and flip flops aren't our expertise, we certainly know how to dress you for Captain's Dinner! Are you struggling on the difference between dinner casual, semi-formal, and formal wear? While every cruise line is different, there is a general rule on what to wear to wear after 6 p.m.

 

Casual Dining

We recommend wearing a cute sundress, skirt, jeans (no holes), or shorts (No jean shorts or athletic shorts) for the ladies. Pair your bottoms with a nice blouse and you should be good to go! Usually flip flops are prohibited in the dining area unless you choose to go to the buffet.

 

Semi-Formal Dining

Semi-formal dining is the most common dining for cruises. Avoid wearing jeans, shorts, and flip flops. Instead, try a nice cocktail dress like the ones pictured below!

 

Check with your cruise line before packing a crop top/skirt attire. With two-piece cocktail dresses on the rise, it very well might be appropriate! Jovani style number 97017

Try a fun Gatsby-like dress like Mori Lee 9360. Black is always classy.

Although the cowboy boots are ADORABLE with Sherri Hill style number 32228, try dressing this bandage dress up with a nude heel!

Sophisticated and sexy. Tarik Ediz style number 90413 is certainly formal enough for such occasion!


 

 Formal Dining

During your cruise, you may have one night wear the attire for dining is 'Formal'. Check with your cruise line for all the stipulations. A good rule of thumb is to wear a floor length chiffon dress. Flip flops and jeans are prohibited. Take some inspiration from the dresses below!

 

Although not chiffon, this comfortable jersey fabric is perfect for the occasion. Jovani style number 22884 radiates elegance.



La Femme style number 20539 would be very acceptable for a formal night of dining.



Wanting to bring the colors of the beautiful cruise indoors? Try this lovely Mori Lee gown, style number 97087.

 

 

 

Really wow the other guests with this red mermaid by Sherri Hill. Style number 32163 is classy.

Have you been on a cruise recently? What did you wear?

 

 



Happy Sailing!
