Dressing Appropriately for an Event
Patricia: Hey, look at you! You’re all Decked out. What’s the occasion?
Renaud: I’m going to the Ortegas’s party. Aren’t you?
Patricia: Yeah, but I’m not getting all Dolled up for it. I think the Dress is Casual.
Renaud: I heard that it’s going to be an Upscale affair and I don’t want to be Underdressed.
Patricia: But I’d rather not be Overdressed.
Renaud: Okay, then what are you wearing?
Patricia: I’m going To dress up these jeans with a Chic blouse. And then I’m going To accessorize with this necklace as a Statement piece.
Renaud: That’s a nice Outfit, but it’s more appropriate for a casual event, not a party.
Patricia: But that’s what I’m trying to tell you. This is not a Formal affair.
Renaud: Do what you like, but I’m not going to risk being inappropriately dressed for one of the Ortegas’s parties. I don’t want to be Blacklisted and not be invited in the future. Their parties are Legendary, with the best food, the best Booze…
Patricia: Oh, you’re right. What was I thinking?!
