A Night At The Opera

Have you been to any great parties lately? I have been keeping it pretty low-key as of late, but I did recently receive an invitation to this year's San Francisco Opera Bravo! Club's black tie opening night gala. The performance is Aida and it takes place on Friday, September 10th (get your tickets here). Of course I feel like I have nothing to wear, but as a Fashion Rehab survivor I know I must first thoroughly investigate my closet before hitting the shops. Maybe I will invest in a dress or pair of shoes, but certainly not an entire ensemble as shown below.

Before tackling my closet I thought it would be fun to dream up my own "A Night at the Opera" ensemble as if money was no object. As if I was privy to every celebrity closet and luxury brand imaginable. Jimmy Choo shoes, Catherine Malandrino dress, Tacori earrings. It doesn't get much better than this. Sometimes it is fun to dream about the "what if", because without imagination where would we get our inspiration?

Stay tuned for actual photos from when I attend the opening. How will my "real" outfit compare to the one above?

Love, A

P.S. Have you entered our CSN $60 gift certificate giveaway? It sure would help towards a new pair of shoes or that luxury bedding you've been lusting after! Click here for the rules and to enter! Contest closes August 24th.

I would love to attend a black tie event, it would be so fun to get dressed to the nines!

While your fantasy outfit is simply gorgeous, I'm excited to see what you end up finding in your closet!

PS, I received the Karma bracelet and it's gorgeous! I posted photos; thanks so much!!

I agree! I think it's important to let our imagination run wild and if money is running a little tight, we could definitely use these great high end designers as inspiration for our outfits.

My favorite thing is dreaming up outfits to go to awesome places- but you are actually going to an Opera, I would love to go to one.
Cant wait to see what you actually do wear.

Thanks for stopping by the blog. I totally forgot about blinged out phones!

Thanks for the love, ladies! I popped by a consignment shop today to see if there was anything red carpet worthy but came up empty handed. I still think there may be something in my closet...Love, A
