Most women have that 'little black dress' that can be dressed up or down for almost any affair. But what's appropriate to wear for an event that doesn't follow stereotypical fashion expectations? If you have recently received an invitation to the Jewish Pavilion's 'Gems & Jeans Gala' taking place on Jan. 28th, you might be wondering, "What's a girl (or guy) to wear?"

"Anything goes," declares event co-chair, Marci Gaeser. At last year's gala, Marci wore glittery heels and tank top, with skinny jeans. She added, "Last year was our first 'Gems & Jeans' affair. The woman loved feeling glamorous while comfortable, and the men LOVED not having to wear tuxes."

Fashion-forward Friends Board member Brenda Fisher Wetmore shares her bead encrusted jeans and stylish top.

Please join the Jewish Pavilion on Sunday, Jan. 28th, 5 p.m., at Sheraton Orlando North (Maitland) for their 'Gems and Jeans Gala', as they honor community 'gems,' Marian Bromberg and A.J Kronenberg, for providing exemplary volunteer assistance to Orlando's elder-care community. Slip on your favorite pair of 'dressy' jeans, and the Pavilion will provide the sparkle, with an evening featuring gourmet dining, live music, and a silent auction, along with dazzling 'surprise' entertainment. All proceeds raised will benefit seniors served in more than 70 assisted living and skilled nursing facilities.
