Been invited to a fancy dress party, actually its a Greek Mythology Murder Mystery night Hmm and god help me.

I've got a nice Grecian dress, <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=www.designerdesirables.com/images/products/zoom/1242669862-44620500.jpg&imgrefurl=www.designerdesirables.com/designer-evening-dresses-c6/designer-ball-gowns-c18/jadore-beige-pleated-grecian-sequinned-jewelled-p9106&usg=__eta6CTLpmvbhey-AZ8MRjOkw52w=&h=1248&w=843&sz=60&hl=en&start=0&sig2=9jMKIZvpzaDTdT_mE3jXAQ&zoom=1&tbnid=2FqzCcNVPLmVvM:&tbnh=136&tbnw=92&ei=ah0jTsPHPIG78gO9koyqAw&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dgrecian%2Bdress%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26biw%3D1093%26bih%3D491%26tbm%3Disch&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=552&vpy=93&dur=4316&hovh=273&hovw=184&tx=82&ty=177&page=1&ndsp=16&ved=1t:429,r:4,s:0&biw=1093&bih=491" rel="nofollow noindex" target="_blank">Something along these kind of lines but slightly less flouncey and I found this photo of hair that I could do and would look okay on me, this but I have no idea what else to wear. What jewellry? What shoes, what makeup, arghrrr god I hate this kind of thing!!!

So I can get by of course but if anyone can think of anything that can make me get in the spirit of things and enjoy this task a little more I'd be grateful!

That hairstyle is gorgeous.

As for jewellery, didn't they wear those wide, gold cuff bracelets?
Like this?

Oh thank you this is all fabulous.

I need little linkies like these to get me excited about it!!!

Yes, I have a big (fake) gold cuff, and I might get a snakey snakey too.

Had thought about gladiators, I don't own any, I might get some or find a heeled shoe that works...strappy is the way forward though I suspect.

Ooh maybe it wont be so bad after all...

Fuck it why can't people just throw dinner parties these days, why do they have to theme them. Gah.

A gold collarette - try second hand shops for naff old jewellery. Its the aort of thing my gran used to wear. Sainsburys had some nice gold gladiator sandals in the sale when I was in there at the weekend.
