This worked out great.<br /> I like how the red clutch plays off the lacy motif that looks like flowers/roses on my screen and matches in a word association kind of way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-party-dress-came-out-to-play#post-485105 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 13:08:12 +0000 Jjsloane 485105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress looks beautiful and so do you!

Today about 1/2 hour before the end of my working day my boss asked if I could go with her this evening to a Government fundraising event at the oldest country club in my home town. It's quite a fancy event and all sorts of politicians, hospital board members, city officials, etc. attend. Normally I would have said "absolutely not - I have nothing to wear" but I actually DID have something to wear so happily accepted the invitation. Since I had all the elements (thanks to Angie's coaching) it was easy and stress free to put it together and off we went. It was a beautiful evening - this country club is of a different era - huge, high ceilings with massive chandeliers, beautiful dark wood panelled walls, marble floors, absolutely swimming in gorgeous over-sized Christmas decorations, huge double-sided fireplace in the middle of the main ballroom, waiters mingling in tuxedos and white gloves with trays of delicious morsels, a champagne fountain at the entryway with cranberries floating in it...it was magical. And I felt completely, appropriately dressed. I received many compliments on my ensemble and the Mayor's wife actually asked me where I got my dress!</p> <p>I asked my hubby to take a quick photo before flying out the door. It's not the best picture (could have been zoomed in a bit to show the details) but you have to take what you can get!</p> <p>Heading off to bed now to dream delicious dreams... </p>
