black tie this friday - what to wear?
Permalink Closed

so I have this skirt (it hits the floor with heels on for me)

I was planning on wearing this blouse (in ivory) with it:
Sutton Studio Exclusive Silk Wrap Blouse - Women's

with the black and white theme, and with a table full of Chinese diplomats, I was going to wear my big pearl necklace with an antique Chinese carved mother of pearl poker chip and gold enhancer among other Chinese jewelry I have.  The blouse also allows me to wear my huge opal and gold cufflinks.... I was thinking of wearing these christian lacroix evening sandals that have big rhinestone balls on them.

NOW...

I just got that Roberto Cavalli blouse, and it has gorgeous fabric (almost like a sheer silk brocade) with a big dragon on the back... it was originally a $1500 blouse - I'm entertaining wearing it with the black skirt.... I also have a huge jade ring I could wear that would look great with the blouse.

thoughts? and maybe with my fendi belt? too stuffy? I thought it would be a nice nod to my table mates with the Chinese theme on the blouse (at least I think dragons and chrysanthemums are Chinese...)

yes, I know I put way too much thought into what I wear.

I am also thinking of using this valentino bag (olive/black silk with a bamboo pattern):

The Cavalli!!! And yes, you have to take a pic! Oh, and I think the Fendi belt may be too much going on. You will look fab!

I was all into the wrap blouse, but then I scrolled down. The Cavalli blouse is amazing!

Love the Cavalli bloouse. I think if you did a belt it would need to be thinner than the Fendi, just so it doesnt take away from the blouse.

The Cavalli blouse with the black skirt, Valentino bag and jade ring will be a stunning combination! (I agree that the Fendi belt might be too much.)

i want to come live in your closet, D.

so, i agree that the cavalli blouse is absolutely beautiful, but i am going to somewhat disagree with everyone--i am worried about the "too stuffy" that you mentioned with the combo of the high neck on it and the long skirt.  is there a way to tie the bow a bit looser?  otherwise, i think the white blouse would maybe be better--the proportion of the neckline looks right for the skirt.  plus, i love the idea of the gold cufflinks and the poker chip necklace--that sounds amazing. 

obviously you'll know when you try on which is right for the occasion--i would love to see a threadstyle, too!  and close-ups of the gems, please.
