Another Black Tie

[SuzySunshine]

We are going to a black tie event on 2/7. Its a Valentine gala so is this dress to much? This is the event I wore my blue gown to last year and I was not out of place but its more muted then RED!

Funny thing is I've had this dress since 2001, wore it again in 2007 and now possibly 2014 - hah! (Which is why if I'm going to wear it I need to have it dry cleaned!)

The detail, its red not pink but you can see the glitter here (and its glitter not sequins)

What jewelry do I wear?

Since you wore blue last year I'd say wear either red or black, they're both beautiful! My personal fave is the black. Have fun!

[diggitydot]

You look good in all of them, but the blue isn't my favorite. The sleeve is odd. I REALLY like the black dress, though.

[OrionGrad]

The black is my favorite, but the red is pretty too!

[Ladybug]

I love the black too! It's the most flattering. Do you have a pearl necklace?

[SuzySunshine]

I would probably need to wear a wrap with the black, I am ALWAYS cold. Yes, I have pearls but then what do I wear for earrings?

[Pollyanna]

The earrings you are wearing in the picture are great, and they look red which is a plus given the Valentine theme.

You look great in the red but I think it's dated at this point.

Have fun at the event!!!

I like the black for this occasion best. Add some red...a wrap or shoes to update the look. OR - how about fuchsia or some other pink? I do not know how you look in pink...it would still be Valentine-ish but not traditional red - you know.

[Ladybug]

What about a red silk pashmina? I'm always cold too. I usually feel more comfortable with a wrap anyways.

If you go with pearls I would wear pearl studs. You can wear any simple jewelry though if you have the floral detail and a bright wrap.

Black and have a great time!

May I just say you look amazing in red and I loved your blue dress last year. I think out of the three dresses the black would do.

I say treat yourself to a new red dress though! I like this one for you. ABS Allen Schwartz Pleated Bustier Dress w/ Belted Waist valentine's gala.JPG

I noticed while looking at red dresses that it's a great time to buy dresses on some of the sites right now.

Oh that third lace dress is lovely! I may have to buy it for myself

I like the black, too. If I remember, you are petite, correct? A shorter dress length, especially above the knee, would be so va va voom on you - I bet you have great legs, so show them off.
I promise I'm not hitting on you.
