Following a Dress Code
Tae: What are you doing? Why are you taking all of my clothes out of my suitcase? I just finished Packing that.
Nicole: You’ve packed all of the wrong things. We’re going on a Luxury cruise and all you’ve packed are shorts and t-shirts.
Tae: I’m going on vacation and I don’t have To dress to impress.
Nicole: You’ve never been on a cruise like this one, but I have, and there’s a Dress code. You’ll need Formal wear for some of the dinners.
Tae: I’m not wearing a Suit and tie on vacation.
Nicole: No, not a suit and tie. There’ll be a dance the final night of the cruise that’s Black tie, so you’ll need your Tuxedo. I’m bringing a few Cocktail dresses myself. Don’t worry. You can go Semi-formal the rest of the evenings.
Tae: This is Ridiculous. I have to wear Business attire 300 days out of the year and you’re making me Dress up when I finally go on a vacation.
Nicole: You don’t have to dress up the entire time. You can go California casual during the day. I’m just asking that you look Presentable a few hours each day. Is that so hard?
Tae: I knew there was a Catch when you booked this vacation. It’s less a vacation for me than a dress-up party for you!
