Philadelphia Auto Show Black Tie Tailgate 2015

Matthew Neeld and Samantha Shechtman were back again this year after Matt's parents gifted them tickets for Christmas as the duo celebrated their third anniversary.

Steve and Robin Gall of Kelly Chevrolet. Robin is sporting a dressy pants suit outfit. A few weeks ago Emily Goulet from Shoppist mentioned that wearing pants to a gala was a new trend, and she was right. I've never noticed anyone wearing them before.
