Hi friends! I need some help here. Originally, the dress code for a wedding I will be attending in August was “coastal formal”. Pretty recently, the dress code has been adjusted to black tie optional.

The wedding is an outdoor lawn ceremony and indoor everything else at a nice hotel on Block Island, RI. We are traveling pretty far. My fiancé is a groomsman in the wedding and I am a guest.

I am a little worried that this may not be dressy enough for black tie optional. Idk if the shawl helps, I crocheted it myself and I am afraid it may come off a little “home made”. Looking for advice or recommendations! Thanks in advance :)
