having a ball

Remember this post where I was wondering what to wear to a ball…

Here’s what I wore.

Balljacket

Ballfeet

Other highlights include pretty chandeliers, a lot of sequins, and a new necklace my sweet bf got me during the auction.

Get used to seeing my sparkly new Chan Luu necklace, because I’m in love!

every girl should go to a ball


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 #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 #2 – Cara Couture Short Crystal Necklace

 

I'm leaning towards option #2 on both, what do you dolls think?
