I have always wanted to go to a ball.
Doesn't it sound like fun? You dress up, you drink, you dance. What else is there in life, right? Please don't answer that…
Back to the dress up part.
I found this beautiful cobalt blue Nicole Miller dress at Tootsies in Dallas.*
(*Please try to ignore the necklace and my I have a cold and no makeup face.)

I love how simple it is.
I think after the ball I'm going to have it hemmed above the knee, so it will be less formal and I can wear it again.
Now with the dress in hand I must work on the accessories.
First up – shoes!

Pair #1 - YSL 'Tribtoo' slingback pump
Pair #2 - B Brian Atwood 'Liese' silver lurex bootie
Pair #3 – MICHAEL Michael Kors 'Sophia' satin T-Strap pump
I tend to wear a lot of gold, but with this dress I really wanted silver/gunmetal accessories. I usually don't like anything really sparkly (except diamonds of course) but I'm really leaning towards the Brian Atwood pair.
Speaking of diamonds, what about the jewels?
This dress SCREAMS for a necklace.

Necklace #1 – David Yurman Multi Row Chain Necklace
Necklace #2 – Cara Couture Short Crystal Necklace
I'm leaning towards option #2 on both, what do you dolls think?
