Tank with vest sweater=semi-dress enough?

Here's what I wore at Christmas Eve. I didn't even wear a tie and it was very appropriate for every occasion (from dinner with the family to Midnight church service)

beloitpiper...I love that sweater you are wearing, and that is exactly what I was thinking of. Where did you find that sweater?

To all the others...thanks so much for the advice and suggestions. I doubt I'll be able to afford a jacket, even though this trip isn't until September. I'm still saving up for the kilt (hope to order by the end of April). All of our "extra" money, what little there is, will be going toward the actual trip. I will check out my local Good Will and see what they have. I suppose I could get lucky.

Thanks!

Check the Goodwill and Salvation Army stores in your area. They often get Tux jackets in. I actully found a jacket that looks very much like a Prince Charlie for only $5.00. I've seen many others in there as well that could be easily altered by a good tailor/seamstress

Try eBay (The Purveyor of Everything) with the search string "argyl* sweater vest". Use the asterisk (wild card) character to find both spellings.

I got lucky at the Salvation Army.
