Belle of the Ball

June 17, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I attended a black tie event at the French Cultural Center this past weekend and this was my look for the night. I fell in love with the skirt in Paris for its Dior new-look style, and my Aunt was kind enough to gift it to me. For the evening I paired it with a black bustier bodysuit, a red lip, and snakeskin heels for a little pizazz. Overall it created an unconventional black tie ensemble.
