I posted this outfit in Jeanne's YLF Ball thread, but I wanted to have it in my blog as well.
I tacked the fur tippet onto the beaded jacket, just so I wouldn't have to worry about it flying off. The final touches were my floral-fishnet tights (kind of like a stained glass pattern), jeweled headband, and beaded crossbody/clutch. I received some wonderful compliments from other partygoers, which made my day especially because everyone was turned out to the nines - gorgeous dresses, jewelry, tiaras, and bow ties everywhere!
The highlight of the evening was the live performance by the Roswell Sisters, a trio singing 1930s songs by the Boswell sisters as well as new material. The dress and set list were entirely different from the linked video, but they don't have many videos up quite yet. My very favorite song, "I Had My Chance" (which I hope they record and release for sale someday soon), was written by the pianist and arranged by the male vocalist. So fun!
Bonus shots of me and DH at the party (not so great lighting with the flash) and DH photobombing my outfit shots after we returned from an afterparty in Silverlake.
Happy 2013, everyone!!
