What did you wear for your first evening party?
“We had no idea in what clothes we were going to wear for our first evening party,” says Lacey. “[We did] come with our dresses, hats and blouses, but we didn’t want to get too over dressed. So we dressed up for dinner.”
In fact, by the time the show was over, Lacey had a whole different outfit she wanted to use.
