CrossCuT Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) So in September Ill be attending my first gala put on by the non profit film organization my boyfriend works for. They host some pretty prestigious guest during these events. A couple years ago they had Steven Spielberg, but they have also had people like Benh Zeitlin, and Martin Scorsese (He has yet to get an opening in his schedule though). Its a really pretty event and it costs about $5,000 per table soooooo needless to say Im only getting in because I have connections :hehe2: But Im trying to get a good outfit to wear!!!!!!!! I really like this dress (in black), because its cute and cheap! I need accessory ideas. I was thinking maybe some cute flats with semi-sheer black leggings, but as far as jewelry...I was thinking pearls? I dont know! I need ideas!! The event is black tie so its not like a full length gown ordeal but definitely a nice cocktail dress. But for the shoes, do I go for a pop of color? And if so what should I wear to balance it? Colorful necklace? What color would go well? I was thinking color wasnt the best for this outfit but I dont know!

Spem in alium Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Sounds like it will be an awesome night! Cute dress! Very classy. Flats and tights would look good. As for jewelry, I would say either pearls or silver. As the neckline looks fairly high, it may look nicer to wear a bracelet rather than a necklace. In my view you would need to balance the colour if you did choose to incorporate some. I don't really think you need colour though. Black and lighter grey/silver tones seem as though they would work well with this dress. An idea could be to wear silver shoes and jewelry, black shoes and a black bag, etc. Do you have a jacket or wrap you're going to wear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the necklace (if any) would be short because the bow and neckline are pretty enough and I dont want it to be too busy. I love color, but like you said, the gray tones dont really need it and considering it will be mid to late september I didnt feel the need to incorporate too much color. The bracelet only is a good option! And some pretty ear rings. I think forgoing a necklace may be a good choice. As for a jacket or wrap, I wasnt really considering any, especially during the event, but it wouldnt hurt to have something for my way in. Also a cute matching clutch would be nice as well.

FutureCarmeliteClaire Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Love it!! Maybe for the shoes go for a teal/turqoise color and then pair it with a bracelet in the same color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, because it does have decoration on the bodice it's probably better not to clutter that. I do like FCC's suggestion about teal or turquoise. That would look great too! :) Earrings would work well also, as would a clutch. It's probably good to take a jacket or wrap because the weather could be unpredictable.

AnneLine Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I was also thinking teal or turquoise... and if you wanted and could find a nice pashmina that picked up the grey and teal, that could be stunning to have as a wrap.... and easy to use/set aside as needed..... Something like....this one (it won't let me copy the picture...) http://www.malbosat.biz/Pakistani-Paisely-Mugul-Turquoise-Pashmina-Online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossCuT Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 Ahh! yes I like the teal and turquoise suggestions! I love those colors. So you guys were thinking that for shoes/bracelets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eowyn Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Very nice dress!!. Earrings would be a nice way to get some bling. Also a nice little clutchy style handbag? The pashima is a good idea, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
