Hubby and I are going to our first black tie event this coming Saturday. We are really excited to get dressed up and even more excited to support the Blood and Tissue Foundation. Our friends are chairing this years Red and White Ball and we have other friends who will also be in attendance. It should be tons of fun!
I had a tough time finding a dress for the event. There are few affordable formal dresses for women in my age bracket. Everything I found was either for prom or for the mother of the bride!
I originally planned on using Rent the Runway. Here are the dresses I was contemplating....
I love the concept of rent the runway, but for me, not owning anything at the end of the day just feels like a poor investment.
Ultimately, I decided to purchase a dress. Here were my top contenders...
Wonder which one I picked? You'll after to wait until after the ball...
