evening dress and awful weather

[3littlefrogs]

I am going to a very posh dinner this evening. It is pouring with rain and I will be travelling by tube.

Is it generally considered acceptable to wear my boots and raincoat, carry my evening shoes and bag, then put boots and raincoat in the cloakroom? I can't think of any other way of doing it. I will probably arrive looking like a drowned rat anyway..........

I am sure I won't be the only person on public transport - just wondering how people usually manage. (Don't get out much )

Sorry, meant to say TIA.

Do what you need to do to get to the event looking okay. Who cares if that means wellies on the tube.

I think it would be a good idea to wear coat/boots and then change shoes when you get there. I have done this before at a Christmas dinner last year when it snowed very heavily. Didn't want to risk breaking my neck in the snow in heels!

Yes - I did this last week, trainers on until arrived at the do.

I made sure I arrived 10 mins so there wasn't a crowd of people around.

And from what I understand there are v strange sights on the Tube so no one will bat an eyelid.

Have a lovely time :)

Yes - I agree about the strange sights on the tube. I was a bit more concerned about arriving at the event in boots and raincoat - however, I am sure other people must be considering doing the same thing. I guess I would look more peculiar squelching into the place in soggy strappy heels and a wet dress!

Sadly - most of the other people will be posh, and I am not. I have already gone through all the angst of trying to work out what to wear anyway. Sigh.

I wish it would stop raining.
