Is camouflage clothing EVER appropriate for non-soldiers to wear?

The no-nos (other than the bra tops) are wearing medals you have not earned, and wearing full BDUs if you haven't served.

What about wearing the medals of a close family member? I have seen this at a couple of weddings where the groom wore his deceased father's medals as a way of honouring him.

I belive that sanctions could be made for something like this, but for a halloween costume, a night on the town, so on, no.  For the wedding, appropriate, as long as everyone knew WHY he was wearing them.

Am I being silly and too self-conscious?  Or am I right to check my closet for something else?  And if I should check my closet for something else...when if ever, would it be "okay" to wear this outfit?

Thanks!

Edited 'cause I didn't spell "dilemma" correctly. 

Just two more cents, coming from someone who has served in the military. I am not offended at people who wear camo. I used to wear my BDU pants with cute shirts many moons ago and my friends thought I was crazy (of course THAT was a no-no, as I was still in the service and we were only supposed to wear the pants for uniform only). Now all the kids are wearing camo and it cracks me up. I also don't take offense when people wear things with the American flag on it, though many people do. So wear your cute outfit and have fun with it.

Like I said, I do not have a problem with wearing camo,

I have no problem with it, it's a fashion thing now. My son is a camo nut (he's three) and he loves his camo pants, sweats, underwear, etc. It's kind of like living with Patton....
I myself have worn camo and I've never heard anyone say boo about it. Your outfit sounds really cute, wear it!

Auntie, I'm just trying to catch up to you in number of posts.  Good heavens, girl!  Do you ever sleep?  lol

I have my doubts as to whether my post counter is correct. But I have been on semester break and have been posting A LOT. It broke up the monotony of watching Cars with DS fifteen times a day.
