I’m going to a black tie event tonight. Most people think black tie means fancy clothes and expensive jewelry, but that is not necessarily the case. There are ways to get around it, you just need to be clever.
When wearing cheaper material- I always say go with foolproof black. Sometimes cheaper fabric can look even cheaper when color is involved. Black always hides- remember that.
Costume jewelry is in style, so wear that instead of sporting fake looking fine jewelry. Also note- there is no such thing as “expensive” sequins (though you can be charged out the wazoo for it.) Just blind people with glitz and glamour and they won’t know the difference. I promise!
