While I didn’t get around to sharing more of my outfit inspiration as I determined what to wear for this weekend’s black tie charity event, I thought I’d at least share the final look. I scored the dress, an empire-waisted Maggy London, from Nordstrom on clearance for about $80 with tax and shipping. It’s the softest shade of pale gray with just a hint of a purple hue, a really lovely silk chiffon. The satin and crystal headband is from Jennifer Behr, a sparkly little treasure I returned home with following my visit to see my Chicago BFF, Ami, at the end of last month.

I ended up going long and not black, which is basically completely different than I had planned. However, I love the beading and the fabric and the price was definitely right. If you’re lucky and I have the time, I’ll show you some non self-portrait photos from the weekend next week. Sadly, it has come to that – time is really that limited. At any rate, here’s how it shaped up…
