VolMom emailed me and asked what I wore to the Ambassador’s party. One must plan these outfits, carefully – particularly since it followed a day conference. I needed something which would seamlessly go from day to evening, something smart and savvy, creating an air of subtle sophistication. After all, I wasn’t just representing a particular organisation, or a segment of the expat community, I was representing Tennesseans, too.
I scrambled through my wardrobe to find just the right thing. But in the end, the answer was clear. I wore these, of course.
Don’t worry, VolMom, I cleaned the mud off.
