A fashion conundrum

*
I've been in a bit of a funk ever since Miss J casually announced we're attending the Mercedes-Benz STYLO Fashion Awards Gala this Friday. Ordinarily, I'd have been quite pleased at being given a very legitimate reason to shop up a storm. But sensibility - and a lack of funding - prevailed. And now I find myself wondering: "What on earth am I going to wear?"

* Shoot The Moon Dress, Mod Cloth

It's not that I don't know what to wear (dress? pants? skirt?). I simply feel a mental block of horrific proportions coming on when I scan through my wardrobe for gala-worthy outfits. All my favourite cocktail dresses seem so boring now that I look at them.
*
A quick glance through the multitude of online offerings gives me some great ideas though.

Dancing at Tiffany's Dress in Plum, Mod Cloth

Anna Karenina Dress, Mod Cloth

If I do end up wearing black, I'd probably go for something like Forever 21's Margaux Lace Dress

Blurred Disco Drape Sleeve Dress, Warehouse

God, how I love this dress (above). It would definitely stand out in a sea of black dresses!

Oriental Placement Dress, Warehouse

This one's pretty cool too. *longing sigh*

I'd love to wear something really bright and unique, something with just the right touch of retro to set me apart from everyone else. Unfortunately, nothing I have seems to fit the bill. Oh well. I guess I'll just have to dig deeper in my wardrobe to find something suitable. If all else fails, back to black I go!
