Too much red??

Last year, it was the "Sunset Ball." This year it will be the "Red Carpet Ball."

Here's the informal announcement that appeared on the 1st Sustainment Brigade's Facebook Page yesterday:

"Durable Soldiers, put on your dancing shoes and join us at the 1st Sustainment Brigade's Red Carpet Ball at the Hilton Garden Inn on May 31, 2012. Come and enjoy an evening of fun festivities with your friends as you walk down the red carpet and take part in this military tradition."

This was information that I was not privy to when I picked out my gown last month. I was anxious to buy my gown before I moved from Memphis because, well let's just say, pickings are kind of slim in this region...

I was so excited to finally be able to wear a one-shoulder dress but now I'm concerned about color: if we're walking down a red carpet...and I'm sporting a red gown...will this be too much {competing} red?!
