Wear pointy flats and nice jewelry. Heels on a boat are a no go.

I vote yes too! As S1 said, it's very pretty. And looks appropriate for a work event

Adorbs!!

Thank you, ladies!

Thanks everyone! My only concern is it doesn’t come across as cocktail attire unfortunately. It’s for an event where all executive team and senior leadership will be there.

Styled like the model, with heels and an updo and jewelry, it passes for cocktail (I don’t think you’d look bad or out of place), but maybe not business cocktail (so maybe less than ideal). I’d probably pick another dress if you’re feeling off about it

Have you ever accidentally insulted your boss, pretty hard core, in a meeting? What I do? It was a total foot in mouth, but it was a huge meeting.
