Black Tie

May 10 is a black tie ball I am attending with husband. I haven't been to a black tie event in AGES so I'm pretty excited.

Husband and I went shopping to pick out my dress and shoes and his tux (I know it's different, but my husband actually enjoys shopping with me). I tried on about 10 gowns, and both of us had one favorite - the same one, actually - a long black Calvin Klein halter. I LOVE it. It suits me perfectly - no "fru fru," no frills - just an elegant black dress. Calvin Klein is one of my favorite designers because of this. And husband actually saw the perfect shoes before I did (black snakeskin heels). I could try on only one shoe, of course. That was pretty amusing.

I'm scheduled for follow up xrays and check up on the ankle on May 8 - that's 2 days before the big event. I hate to tell my dr. this, but there is NO WAY IN HELL that I'm wearing this boot to that black tie event!!

Of course you can't wear the boot to the ball!
snakeskin heels. Geez. I feel funky if I wear my red clogs instead of my black ones!

I can't blame you. An orthopedic boot just isn't sexy.
