I will be attending an NCO Ball this fall with my Army SO and it will be my first military ball outside of the ROTC Dining Out that I attended while at university. I've been looking around for advice and ideas for dresses, and I've been told to shy away from short dresses for cool weather events, but that they're okay for warmer weather events. My SO has requested that I wear something pretty specific, so luckily I have 7 months to find the perfect dress! He says he wants to show me off and introduce me to everyone, so he wants a certain degree of "sexy" while at the same time looking demure, conservative, and sophisticated as a future NCO's wife should.<br /><br />Oh, and that demotivational poster is hilarious!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312430632143777189.post-29336141443029225162012-09-20T15:29:22.472-04:002012-09-20T15:29:22.472-04:00I love the red one!!

That one was probably the most complimented [General's wife loved it] and the 'wandering photographer' insisted on multiple photos of it. I love the classic black, but I'd rather wear something loud and classy as well.

I ended up wearing strapless AND short (it was end of April in SC, I had to stay cool). I was so worried about finding the perfect dress, but it ended up working out just fine and I didn't feel out of place at all.<br /><br />You can see my dress here (http://sweettea-lemonade.blogspot.com/2012/04/t-minus-14-days-until-submarine.html) and here (http://sweettea-lemonade.blogspot.com/2012/05/submarine-birthday-ball-and-kentucky.html). :)Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03817311173793713076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312430632143777189.post-81741959048258157612012-09-17T15:43:38.165-04:002012-09-17T15:43:38.165-04:00You are very fortunate!
