Except the dress I had in mind was a red and white print, high waisted, draped number with a low/no back. It's HOT there and these ladies have amazing muscles and backs.

Lovely combination that you put together. Super cute and I just adore that red dress!!

I agree that the blazers are a nice touch for the men and I love the dress for the women - they looked pretty blah in the unisex outfit that Ralph came up with! In the Style section of the NY Times there is some interesting commentary on the fashions of the parade - he liked the Australian's track suits!Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12526455115763705017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15552497.post-31258855804131899512008-08-11T13:29:00.000-07:002008-08-11T13:29:00.000-07:00If it were less than 90 degrees, definitely a jack...If it were less than 90 degrees, definitely a jacket for the men.

I agree that the more casual look is more like what Americans would wear day-to-day, but the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics is hardly an everyday event!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881407681016424407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15552497.post-49687498658531904972008-08-11T12:19:00.000-07:002008-08-11T12:19:00.000-07:00THANK YOU!

I know there might be some traditions when it comes to what they wear for the opening ceremonies, but I like your ideas much better! I felt so sorry for them having to wear what they did - they must have been so hot an uncomfortable.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01677953607599406624noreply@blogger.com
