FROM THE "I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR" STYLE FILES...

WHAT TO WEAR FOR COCKTAILS AND DINNER WITH HIS BUSINESS ASSOCIATES YOU'VE NEVER MET?

WELL MAYBE RHINESTONE EYE MAKEUP, YOUR TIARA AND A MARABOU WRAP AREN'T QUITE RIGHT FOR THIS OCCASION.  LET'S SEE WHAT MIGHT BE, WELL, JUST A LITTLE MORE APPROPRIATE, SHALL WE?

This little dress is a good place to start!  Available from Nod To Mod Vintage, this cocktail dress is exactly that!  I love the classic, lady like lines done up in a rich champagne gold colored silk faille with punches of glitzy rhinestone buttons turning up the party power. Understated, but with a little glamour!

Purply-Pink Prada anyone?  Yes, please!  Satin and leather with bugle beads and clear rhinestones could be fun to add a little zip of color to this ensemble.  From Lucy Takes A Trip.  She certainly did! Love these!

I love the day-into-evening look of this signed Vargas bracelet from Waalaa.  The textured cuff is so interesting with the raised loops and rhinestones.  I think this would look stunning with a pair of jeans and white shirt, or the dressiest ballgown!

Why not a little unexpected surprise like this divine pink feather evening bag?  It's from a delightful shop, Sally Luv Rose. I always think that even if you are the most conservative, tailored type, that doing an over- the-top cocktail purse is a fun way to step out of your comfort zone. 

 And why not? 

After all, you can always wear it with your favorite pink feather hat!
