I started a new job a year ago, this is the first social event I’ll be going to (primarily virtual job, we live all over the country).

Sounds perfect OP! You could wear sheer tights (maybe patterned/polka dot) to jazz it up a bit but it's a lovely outfit either way.

I think , that’s lovely to wear to your event.

Ahh wonderful!! Thank you - I’ll get it ordered!! Yes I was thinking black quite sheer tights but I’ll explore some with a subtle pattern that might just make it a bit ‘more’!

thanks all ☺️
