I'm late! I'm late!

I've been so busy getting ready for a big affair at church this weekend I almost forgot the social event of the season...The Willow Manor Ball!  A lot of my bloggy friends will be there, so I wanted to stop in for at least a few minutes and say hello  to everyone.





What to wear?  Many of my friends got their dresses weeks ago (and posted pictures of them so we could all ooh and aah). Since I'm doing this at the last minute, it was a bit of a scramble. Fortunately, I work at a mall, so yesterday after my shift I ran from store to store and finally found something perfect.  Can't go wrong with basic black.









I didn't have time to get new jewels, so I'm recycling the earrings I wore two years ago. I think they're classics, though, don't you?





I decided to rent a convertible for the trip. I hope the weather cooperates so I can put the top down!









For the past two years I've taken a date with me, but this year I'm going by myself.  My plan is to talk with all the sensational guests and listen to the fantastic music, although I suspect that if I want to dance I'll be able to find someone who'll sway with me.

Maybe I'll see you there?

    You are never late for the Willow Manor ball! Everyone just weaves in and out all day and all night. I love your dress and your beautiful earrings. They are devine. Have a lovely time and if you would like a dance with David Garrett, he thinks you are stunning!!

    Black gown, perfect choice. We arrived in a convertible too ... aren't we lucky the weather cooperated? So enjoyed meeting you.

    Just throw on a little basic black and some sparkly earrings, jump into a red convertible and there you are. Beautiful and fascinating. Ready for a fantastic evening. Bravo!
