Over the weekend, I attended a black tie wedding.  Being someone who has prided myself on having a variety of options in my closet for such an event, I uncharacteristically found myself at a loss. Usually I can reach into my closet depth and figure something out, but not this time.  I'd have an unsuccessful attempt at Rent the Runway in the past, but decided to take a chance for this event and I was not disappointed.

Formal dresses can be a bit overwhelming for someone with such a petite stature which I why I opted for a midi-length dress. With the rich jewel tones, it would be perfect for a fun winter party to a more formal event.  With the temps being as chilly as it was, I opted to cool it up a bit with a fun leather jacket.  Dress if up with some sparkly accessories and you are good to go.
