Every once and a while we all get tired of the same ol’ fashion scene. Dressing up becomes too casual; sometimes we do not even care what is on our backs. I wish we could go out wearing ball gowns and white gloves, but sadly I was born in the wrong decade. There is a reason why it is known as Old Hollywood Glamour and unfortunately this glamour can only be recreated for the silver screen. Though this funk can be rectified, with a little research and planning. If you want to wear a pretty dress and look like you stepped out of My Fair Lady then MAKE IT HAPPEN!!
Two weeks ago my good friend Shannon invited me to a gala at the AGH (Art Gallery of Hamilton). The theme... A Night in Fifties Paris called “Oh La La” put on by CLiC Noir, 2011. We had so much fun finding outfits that correlated with the fifties theme, not to mention the gala served an endless supply of French Martini’s (my favourite drink).
Now these type of events do not just fall into your lap, you have to search for them, or become part of an organization. Many organizations offer cheaper memberships, meaning you may not be eligible to attend the dinner, but you can attend the cocktail reception later. Most of the time, the hors d’ourves they serve at the reception are way tastier anyway.
So the next time you are feeling a little whimsical and in grave need of a night of dress-up, check your local events or events in cities close to you. You may be in for a pleasant Fashionista surprise!!!
