I had the best time last night! I've never been to a "real" cocktail party either, but it was so much fun. I'm pleased to report that I was not overdressed at all. My husband cleaned up real nice too. I only wish he hadn't left it until the last minute so I could have snapped a picture of him too
Thank you so much for all of your nice comments.
Zapotee, the dress is this one: http://tinyurl.com/khzv2ok
It will be the perfect thing for holiday parties coming up.
The fur jacket wasn't exactly the right silhouette for this dress, but I don't care. I love it so much I want to give it as much mileage as I can.
