Now that the election is over the real competition can begin – the race to get a ticket to the Inaugural Ball. Although it isn’t until January people are talking already debating how to make a splashy entrance to what is guaranteed to be a historic party.
But what are the rest of us mere mortals to do? And must we wait until the beginning of 2009 to get all dressed up? With the holiday season fast approaching we are given the opportunity to step out of our every day clothes and put on something glam. So while everyone at your office holiday party will have on similar dresses from department stores (cough * Ann Taylor Loft and Bloomingdales *cough) fashion from independent designers can give you a fresh and innovative appearance.
The black Hidden Sash Dress cinches the waist and provides a long, elegant silhouette. The Jolie Jolie feather purse is a statement piece that will give a unique boost to an otherwise plain outfit. Both pairs of earrings and the onyx necklace were chosen because a drop of shimmer can be incredibly graceful with a v-neck or strapless dress. The gold Taylor Gown has a dramatic back and a small train that together are smoldering.
These items have design elements that are whimsical, classic, and seductive. Which, as it turns out, are also words that can describe a great bash – political or otherwise. Just don’t be surprised when you walk into the big event and are voted best dressed.
