Looks for the 2015 Ball
With less than a month to go until John’s Brigade Ball, I thought I’d share what I plan on wearing this year.
Just like usual, I ordered my dress from lightinthebox.com this year. I love Light in the Box, because they have fantastic quality dresses for super reasonable prices. The dress I ordered was only $79.99! In my book, that beats renting a dress for around the same price.
Originally, my plan was to wear a green dress, representative of the Military Police Corps, but since John’s company has a red theme going on, I went with that. Unlike in the past where I’ve chosen the color of my dress, this time I’m going with the photographed color. Also, his company mascot is a Centurion, and I thought the dress had a little bit of a toga look to. Toga, Rome, Centurions, just go with it..!
I’ll be keeping the hair and make up pretty simple. I’m counting on my talented hair-styling friend in the hair department. Try as I might, I just can’t manage anything more than a bun on top of my head. Make up will be pretty natural (I’ll be using my airbrush that I freaking LOVE) with a pop of color coming from some bright red lipstick.
I’ve been itching to paint my fingernails a nude or white color, so I’ll be on the lookout for a silvery white, since I think a nude or pale pink might clash.
I haven’t thought too far into the accessories department, although usually I keep that pretty simple. I might add my red Pandora bracelet to my everyday jewelry look, but that’s probably it. I wouldn’t be surprised if by the end of the night I’m also rocking a Centurion helmet.
