In today’s casual society (especially in the Northwest), it is a rare treat to dress up. And nobody appreciates it more than me – the etiquette coach. I’m so often challenged by my clients about clothing as it is so confusing these days. It was a delight to attend our North Mason Chamber of Commerce Annual Installation banquet where there was no question – it was the perfect time to go all out! The Alderbrook Resort and Spa did a magnificent job of hosting some 180 people for this semi-formal event, and it was beautiful. Why, do you ask, is this such a big deal? Dressing up? Because I can’t tell you how many times people have told me that they can’t really relax and have fun if they wear their best. Sorry – wrong! We had a blast at this event, despite the fact that we looked fabulous!
