When I was (really) on my way out I thought "I am not wearing a dress. Why is there this stupid dress code? Most of the dresses/outfits women are wearing are not pretty compared to other clothes."
So I wore the most beautiful thing I owned. It is a floral, cream and yellow sateen coat from the Banana Republic.
Here's a link:

I got some looks. It's hard to know if they were looking in a disapproval or shock or what. One older sister in RS told me "You look lovely today". I am not sure how she meant it - if she was sincere or if she just felt forced to say something.
That's my pants story. And I still have the coat - I only wear it on special occasions though.
