Formal

Saturday, I'm attending a 65th Anniversary Ukrainian Formal with a girlfriend. I don't go to many events where I can wear a full length gown, so I'm bursting with excitement! Usually it's cocktail attire and I go for short and flirty. It took me a while to find one I really loved, but here it is:

BCBG Dark Navy dress $328

With the dress being as simple as it is, I went with these shoes (just got them today - Love you Zappos!):

Sam Edelman Novato $99

I really wanted these, but with a trip to India at the beginning of the year, I need to watch my spending!

YSL Tribute Sandal $1090

Now I need a purse!  Thoughts on what I should wear? Comment below. I'll post pictures next week of what I decided.

As I was leafing through one of my magazines this weekend, my heart stopped when I saw this YSL ad. I don't know what it is, but I am in LOVE with this whole outfit. The dress is so simple and chic - it's really the perfect black dress. It can be dressed up or down- can't you picture it with tights, boots and a fur vest? And I don't even know where to start with the necklace!  I tried searching for it high and low this weekend online to no avail.  If you find it somewhere, hit me up.  I'm on a mission.  Let's not forget the shoes... to die.  

Happy Monday!!
