light blue women dress Think About It Midi Dress, Small - The Mint Julep Boutique breasted flue sleeve blazer dress Light Blue Tie-Strap Square Neck

A black tie gala, whether a charity event, a museum benefit, or a major institutional celebration, is the most formally observed of the black tie occasion types

NOTE: If these black sandals had an ankle strap, it would visually shorten my legs, but since theyre slingbacks, there is no line to break up the leg line so they are still rather elongating, even though they create a high contrast with my light skin

Instead, choose a casual yet elegant dress to pair with the jacket

Available in Chocolate or Olive, this frock is guaranteed to make you look like an A-lister
