In celebration, our suggested theme this week was "party best," which worked really well for me because I have two black-tie events on the cards for tomorrow night. I was originally planning to attend the Halloween Gala at the Embassy of Italy, for which you are asked to wear a fancy costume or a mask in the Venetian style. Because I'm heading up to Boston very early on Saturday morning to see Sarah, I decided it would be wise to get an early night - but I wanted to keep the inspiration for today's post.
And you know how, sometimes, I make a point of telling you that I picked items for Frock Fridays with a realistic budget in mind? This is not one of those times. The grand total of this outfit comes to $11,118. Hey, a girl can dream...

But wait! I said that there are two black-tie parties in my diary tomorrow night - you caught that, dear readers, didn't you? (Clever things.) At the last minute, I was invited to join a work contact at Theater Washington's annual gala. Even though I still have a 6am flight to catch on Saturday morning, I couldn't pass up this opportunity, socially or professionally. So I'll be bopping around the Four Seasons in Georgetown tomorrow, acting like I'm wearing four figures' worth of couture and jewels - see you there!
