    What do you wear???

    My husband's office christmas party is December 2nd. It is being held at the Safari Lodge at the Calgary Zoo. They are having a casino night with a mardi gras flavor. The dress is semi-formal. So now I'm wondering what the heck you wear to something like this. Anyone with any suggestions?

    Whoa! LOL I'm not sure what you would wear to that - it's like there's 5 different themes! Sorry I don't really have any ideas.

    Having been to semi-formal events at the Calgary Zoo before I would suggest a cocktail length dress (or just below the knees). Having amardi Gras theme gets you away from the "little black dress" so you can go a little crazy with the colours But be sure to wear comfortable shoes because you are going to be standing most of the night!

    I would just wear a dress or two pieces...where the skirt or dress is just at the knees or a little below...and, color is a definite! A really pretty purple could be cool...rich colors, though...for the mardi gras theme. Sounds fun!

    Thanks everyone for your input. I now have the outfit.

    Black Velvet 3/4 length tiered skirt
    Black Velvet tank top
    Black Velvet shawl
    Black beaded necklace and matching earings
    Will wear high heeled boots as it is going to be -20oC and strappy sandals just aren't going to cut it in the snow and cold.

    When I get all dolled up tomorrow will snap some photos to show you how it worked out.
