I Can Kill You With My Brain

On Saturday night I chaperoned a Post Prom with my girlfriend and a couple friends of mine.  Seeing that it was Prom, three of the four of us dressed up to the nines for the occasion.  I purchased a whole new outfit including shirt, tie, and dress pants.  My girlfriend agonized for the better part of the week to find the perfect dress for the Post Prom, which was also doubling as our first formal event together.  Saturday night comes along, we slide into our new fancy clothes, and arrive at Post Prom…

Only to discover that it was a non-formal event.  All of the students had changed out of their formal wear and into comfier clothes after the main prom dance.  Technically, we dressed up and stressed over the whole wardrobe thing for nothing.  We would have been just fine showing up in jeans and nicer tops.  However, I wouldn’t change anything about the evening.  Yes, we were way over-dressed, but we were the finest looking people there.  I was dashing in my new shirt and tie and my girlfriend was simply stunning in her dress.

Plus, we now have a great little story about how non-formal our first formal event was.
