Formal Wear

It's been a while since I entered am entry. I am back!!!!

I am going to a fabulous black tie dinner and dance in New York City next week.  Since this is a corporate event, I am going for a simply elegant look - a little bit of flash, but sleek and sophisticated. Here are a couple options. Tell me what you think:


Option 1: This was the first plan I had in mind. Black with flashy gold. The dress fits me well on top with the one-shoulder design (I just don't trust strapless dresses  - I tugged them constantly even if they are not threatening to be a wardrobe malfunction). It also fits me well through the waist and hips.

Option 2: I just bought this one yesterday. I tried it on just because.  The saleslady told me that it had a Oprah-look.  I felt pretty in this one. Besides, it's contrasts against my dark skin.

Option 3: I just spotted this number online this morning.  I love the teal color and I love the mermaid design.
