This week I was invited to attend a Navy Dinner Party, hosted by the Chief of the Navy at his formal residence in Devonport. When I heard the dress-code was Smart/Casual I groaned as this can be quite hard to find something appropriate. I didn't want to wear a dress, (especially as the weather had just turned wet and windy), so I thought about a trouser look.
When deciding on what sort of trousers are appropriate for Smart/Casual, don't think about jeans, or anything ripped or too casual looking. Unfortunately, when I delved into my cupboard all I could find were jeans, or cargo pants! When I searched through my winter clothes I found my leather-look leggings, and after trying a few different tops I settled on my black silk Country Road top, and a beautiful old beaded necklace and gold bangles. I wore ballet flats, but did try my black suede ankle boots which also worked well. (I'm afraid the photo was a bit of a rush, and so its is quite grainy!)
