So I have a black tie event in a couple of days' time. It's for work, and I will need to get ready in the office as we leave for the venue before the end of the working day.
I am terrified of getting it wrong to the point I actually feel a little sick. I never wear dresses/skirts to work and generally stick to black trousers with pretty tops. A couple of people have told me that they expect me to wear a dress and I sort of feel like I'm already being judged before I'm there. Additionally, I am short and curvy and don't suit full-length dresses at all. And I'm on a budget.
Anyway. This is what I have purchased:
- Dress - longer on me than on the model, comes mid-calf.
- Shoes
- Bag (The purple/blue/silver one - I chose this thinking I would accessorize with royal blue jewellery but can I find any? Can I hell!)
- Necklace - I wanted something short because the neckline of the dress is high and didn't want to be fishing pendants out of my cleavage all evening.
I want a big chunky spangly bangle too but will have to wait until payday (tomorrow).
Am I way off? Please talk me through whether I need to change/do anything? I only have tomorrow to make adjustments so having a last-minute wobble, as you do.
