Back from the ball

I had a great time at the black and white ball on Saturday! Of course not everyone wore black and white so all my obsessing was unnecessary.

Good news though, I did manage to find a full length black gown at the last minute! I was at Nordstrom grabbing some last minute makeup and took a spin through dresses and in about 10 minutes I was headed out to my car with a brand new arrival! And it went well with shoes I had already bought (not the ones I showed here).

For those of you on Facebook, check out the photos on my page. For everyone else, I am trying to figure out how to make a facebook album public, I know there is a way...and I will get it posted here for anyone who cares. Just a note...we started drinking BEFORE we took pictures, never a good idea...

Thanks to a special helper for teaching me how to link to my Facebook album! :D

Even if you don't use facebook, the link to this album is public to everyone. Feel free to take a look!

I am glad that you found a dress that you liked at the last minute! I like the detailing on the shoulder of the dress.

Thank you! It was a good find. I loved it, it was so comfortable and I loved the shoulder, with the scarf that fell down the back. I wish I got better pictures, I may have to put it on again. It was a nightmare of pouring rain and everything so we were just focused on getting there dry, we didn't stop for pictures.

I didn't win the item I was bidding on for a Michael Buble package at Mohegan Sun :( but I did get an Italian themed gift basket with pasta, sauces, olives, 2 bottles of wine and $100 in stop and shop gift cards for $95. Good deal!

That is a good deal!

I once got a weeks worth of Surf Lessons (valued at $175) for $75 at one of those charity auctions.
