My Look for #Barristersball 2018

I think I found my look for Barrister's Ball 2018! Below are my choices for the big day as well as other favorites that I encountered along the way.

Don't forget to tag me in your Barrister's Ball look on Instagram (@politicsandpearls_)! I want to see how amazing you all look!

Shoes

These shoes are so simple, elegant, and woooooow. I picture myself wearing these with both dresses and jeans. I love the pearl accents. I can confidently say that Jessica Simpson makes the most comfortable shoes ever. I may actually buy these and the next shoes.

How adorable are these? I can see myself wearing these with a cocktail dress and with jeans. They're just too adorable and begging to be instagrammed.

Or these. #showstopper! These would be perfect to wear with an all black ensemble to add a pop of color.

Dresses

My Barrister's Ball is less than a month away and I'm freaking out over dresses. I decided this year to rent my dress. Buuuuuuuut I've ran into a problem. . . . I WANT TO KEEP THE DRESS! I started shopping thinking that "okay, designer dress that can be rented for less than what a mani-pedi costs and I don't have to let it collect dust in the closet? GREAT!" But then I found this dress from Hutch and I want to keep it for future events.

The dress has great reviews. Apparently it has pockets (🥂🥂)! I was able to find it for sale on eBay but the pictures did not look like the real deal. Maybe Rent The Runway will let me keep the dress if I beg them?

I'm torn between the Hutch dress and this dress from Keepsake.

I'm not huge on showing my arms but I love the cut on this dress. It looks like a classic Grace Kelly-type dress.

Below are other dresses I found on my quest.

This makes me want to dance all night long. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the lace skirt.

This dress is very modern take on a classic dress. I think it is appropriate enough to wear to a formal. I decided against this dress because I'm short and am afraid of how the side detail would look. I wish I was taller to have confidence to wear this!

This dress is simply classic and stunning. I would definitely dress this up with either pearls or diamonds!

Add some pop of color with this one. This dress would be cute to wear if your Ball is more on the cocktail side. Let's be real, a lot of people will show up in black. This dress will let you stand out.

This dress is another dress that does a modern take on a classic dress. I love the metallic detail and would definitely have fun with eye makeup to pull this look together.

Look at this back. Enough said.
