On Saturday night, Mike and I get to get all fancied up and attend the NCMC Gala, which is always a fun evening and raises money for a great cause. I'm secretly hoping they got a new photographer this year, as last year pictures were um, less than good? At least this year's theme of Carnivale should eliminate the accompanying acrobats in the photo, but it's highly possible they have hired these guys to pose with us. -------> (photo credit)
Anyway, I thought I should let you know that I'm being fiscally responsible and wearing a dress I already own. Not that I've gone all budget-crazy on you...but mostly because I've already spent my monthly clothing allowance on new shoes for CHA. But it's always fun to window shop for formal wear, so here's five dresses I would love to consider for future events!
1. When the Night Comes Dress ($96.99). I love this sophisticated black lace dress. This silhouette is so Audrey Hepburn-esque and I can't imagine not being the picture of grace and class and while wearing this frock. Oh wait, this is me we're talking about.
2. Pisarro Nights Beaded Sheath Dress. ($148.00). It's 180-degrees from the first dress style-wise, but I kind love this platinum sheath adorned with beads and paillettes. It's just so sparkly! And disco-ball like! Which means you'd most certainly have a ball in it, no? Yes, I went there with the cheesy pun. It's just that kind of Friday.
3. Rosè Bubbly Dress ($157.99). If it's wrong to pick a dress solely for the fact that it reminds of champagne, then I don't wanna be right.
4. Halston Heritage One Shoulder Dress ($117.97). I've never worn a one-shoulder dress but this one makes me want to! It looks comfy while still being elegant...kind of like wearing bunny slippers with your lace negligee.
5. In Love with Life Dress ($297.99). I love just about anything by Corey Lynn Calter because her designs are so feminine and girly. This ivory crochet dress is perfectly pristine, but the bow adornment makes it fun and just a little bit funky. Like a girl who sips champagne, dances under disco balls, and brings her bunny slippers in her purse.
And that wraps up another Friday...enjoy yours!
