bina, are you a Marine spouse too? H is an Army spouse, I always feel that's important to point out now, lol. What's your dress like? Your hair/mu?
I am, my H is a helo pilot. I'm currently a stay at home mom, its not a bad deal I think you should rock your army badassness This is my dress, I LOOOVE IT. I really think it would look nice with an updo, but my spine is crooked and i have a weird self concious thing about that so my hair is normally down. I'm thinking somthing like this, I'll do my own makeup, I like it to be really light, i'm a pretty big tom boy so i think i look weird with to much makeup on
Oh i like the down hair, but I think that makeup is really heavy.
Oh, I was just talking about the hair for that one. My face cannot hold that much make-up, no way.
I love your dress, it's unique enough to really stand out (in a good way, not in an E3 date kind of way ! And that hair is pretty too. MH was rotary air crew before recruiting. Such a small world.
LOL i know exactly what your describing and thanks I'm learning more and more the Marine Corps really is a small community. Its nice in a way, we got meet up with a bunch of people my H went through TBS with and have drinks, it was nice to catch up with all of them.
Oh yeah, that does look like Sarah Palin,, just a little bit. You deserve to get your hair done and be perfect. Your going to look fabulous. I was pregnant at the last ball so i'm really happy i'm not at this one. It was so not fun, I was so big at that point. will dd that pic.
I'll be one of the voices of dissent - I prefer #2.
Yep, it is a more subdued look, but it's also very _different_. I've not seen anything like it at the balls I've been to, and that will make it stand out.
Either one looks good on you, though.
Me, I pick a dress that won't make me feel like a complete fat-ass at these things. I generally hate balls. (I also usually have to get pro-help for hair and makeup because I am incompetent at these them.)
You need new friends, or else your current friends need to visit the optometrist because you don't have hips in #1 and don't look like Sarah Palin in the copper (and wow that dress is gorgeous and you looked great.)
