"To me it's like taking the formal out of the events."
I couldn't think of any way to say it better! :)
Hi Lisa,
I quite agree with your observations. Hopefully you're not in the minority after all! :)
Thigh high w/ garter belt is fine. Full hose - no way, not wearing 'em.
DH would be very unhappy without the hose/garter belt look - have to give the men their small pleasures in life :)
