A Fabulous Evening without a Gown!
July 27, 2011 // Posted by: // Category: GeneralWhen I saw the sexy black cocktail dress online I was still considering the small blue floral print mini strapless that I had been eyeing at the local boutique. I fell in love the moment I saw this dress and although I needed a dress for a special ocassion I also knew that I would wear it more than once. Well, it was made out of the best material and the sequins were beautiful and very trendy. I am so glad I chose the black dress since my husband’s best friend’s wife was wearing a sleeveless cotton dress from Forever 21 with a pink floral pattern which would have looked atrocious next to the blue floral strapless I was considering. I also bought a sheer black shawl trimmed in silver sequins to wear with the dress since it can get cool in the evening, and decided the Shiny Sequins Evening Bag would complement it perfectly.
The end result was an amazing evening without a gown, without silk, and without lace, but fantastic all the same! This was also a special occasion since it was the first time I met my future brother-in-law and I wanted to make a great first impression. My sister loved my black cocktail dress and looked extremely pretty in her purple Anthropologie evening dress which was absolutely stunning!
