Getting ourselves dressed up for formal events always seems like a bigger deal than the event itself. We’re not used to dressing nicely. It causes us to do unusual things, like these:
1. I really did tailor Marshall’s pants with masking tape and safety pins. All the dress pants that I could find for him were either too short or too long. By the time we figured out that perfect pants weren’t going to magically appear, we had run out of time for proper tailoring. Hence the masking tape. For the record, the tape held, and the pants looked pretty good, I think.
2. I really did break my long-held anti-paisley rule.

Wait, don’t I hate paisley?
3. The most unbelievable of all: I really did wear 4-inch heels!

Maybe I was overcompensating for the paisley?
