Next weekend, we will be attending our FIRST Military Ball, and I have nothing to wear. This town has the most hideous dresses/nothing in my size, and now that I realize this, it is too late to order something.
If I had time, I would order this:
But since I think that would be overdoing it for our Unit and it's not an option, these are my choices:
This Kenneth Cole.
{Excuse the poor picture quality. This was eons ago}
This Kenneth Cole.

This BCBG.
The color pops more than this picture, but I'm not entirely sure it fits.

This J.Crew dress.
I would pair it with some Vintage Jewelry and/or possible add a belt of some sort.
To all my Military wives...Could any of these be appropriate?
There is a slight chance that my friend has two dresses that might work, but I'm trying to prepare for worst case scenario. Obviously, I nee HELP!
And just to end on a good note, I love this pic:
Red nails and wine in my hand?
So out of the ordinary.
Wear the black MK
ReplyDeleteI think the red one would look gorgeous with some cute shoes, and maybe just the right necklace?

ReplyDeleteHi there, I have been reading your blog for about 4 months but I've never commented! Try renttherunway.com, you could very possibly order it and have it by next weekend. You can order 2 sizes for the price of one dress also! I love that website!! I've been to quite a few military events as my husband is in the Navy. If it's an actual ball, my recommendation would be to get something long, especially with it being winter! :) If it's like a holiday party, then go with short!
ReplyDeleteI like the red!
ReplyDeleteBlack or red. But honestly red is more appropriate. Don't worry you'll be probably the most decent one there. Alot of balls I've been to the "joes" all have strippers for dates & you can image when comes walking in with a so called dress one. Lol. Just saying.
ReplyDeleteI like the red!
ReplyDeleteI like the red one the most. It looks more ball-like.
ReplyDeleteI would go with the red!
ReplyDeleteI think the red one is amazing!!
ReplyDeleteOMG that first dress is absolutely amazing!
ReplyDeleteXO
Pearls & Paws
That red dress is stunning with some accessories. I think it would be a jaw dropper. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteRED :) It's classy and sexy. Have a blast!
ReplyDeleteRED :) It's classy and sexy. Have a blast!
ReplyDeletei sincerely love them all. that red is pretty hot though!!!
ReplyDeleteThe red is absolutely gorgeous!! :)
ReplyDeleteThey're all great- but I like the red the best!
ReplyDeleteUmm any of them because you will look gorgeous in anything you would wear!!
ReplyDeleteI love both the black and the red one and I think either would be appropriate for a military ball. Lord knows, some girls go all out prom, so I think a classic look works best!
ReplyDeleteIf you are stressing about something to wear though, you should check out Rent the Runway!! They will overnight your dress to you and you get to wear a beautiful designer dress for a very reasonable price. They are my go to for Navy balls, weddings, etc. Also, if you use this link, you can get $20 off your first rental :)

Janna, all are pretty and I know they will all look fabulous. I'm kind of a fan of the red dress with a smokey eye and glossed lip. You can play with the heels.
ReplyDeleteThe black dress you can accessorize more "freely." But the red dress has this classic look that I think would accompany your man in uniform best.
Can't wait to see what worked out!
I vote red! :)
ReplyDeleteThe red J. Crew is my favorite! I think that would be perfect with some jewelry to dress it up along with a fabulous pair of heels. But you will look beautiful no matter what you wear :) And what a fun date night for you and the hubs!
ReplyDeleteEeek! Fashion Emergency. The red J crew looks very appropriate. It seems that most balls are more formal not that you won't ever see cocktail length dresses at them but I'd say the length on the red one and the fit just seems more formal and fitting for the ball. You will look amazing in whatever you decide.
ReplyDeleteWill I'm not a military wife but I say the red one!
ReplyDeleteI'm torn between the black dress and the red dress!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a military wife, but I like the red :)
ReplyDeleteokay you are darling...i adore your blog already! the red dress would be stunning, in my opinion you can never go wrong with j.crew!
ReplyDeletenow following!
xo c&e
wear the first one!
ReplyDeletewear the first one!
ReplyDeleteThis might be corny, but when my husband and I go out, we always make sure what we're wearing either matches or doesn't clash for pictures. So...wear what looks best with Will's uniform that he'll be wearing.
ReplyDeleteAnd just for kicks...I think the red would be more appropriate for a ball.
LOVE the red jcrew dress!
ReplyDeleteI would go with the red J.Crew dress. It's classy yet sassy which is what you want. :)
ReplyDeleteSeriously I don't think I could love you more. Thank you so much again for linking up!!! You are seriously the best gf blogger ever!! Well you would look amazing in anything you wear but the blac & red are both fabulous! Red could be good too since Valentines Day is near! Also I was reading the comments above & someone suggested the site rent the runway - my bff her boyfriend is in military too & that's where she gets all her dresses for these events! It's a really cool site! And it is funny to see you w red polish & wine!! Haha!! Happy Friday lover!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe red one is pretty and classic. A vintage vibe definitely suits it. Maybe a thin belt and some patent heels? I hope you have fun! :)
ReplyDeleteA few of my co-workers are military wives and I'd say the red one would be awesome based on pics I have seen form their "balls"! There is always a lot of black but I know the red would look so good on you, you would not blend in to the sea of "little black dresses", and it's totally appropriate. :)
ReplyDeleteI would choose the red one, but all of these are amazing!

Too bad you don't have time to order that first dress it is absolutely stunning!
ReplyDeleteI liked the Kenneth Cole dress but they all looked cute!
Thank you so much for linking up fr Fearless Fashion Fridays!
I think you would look great in all of them. But I really love the second BCBG one. I could see you looking gorgeous as usual in it, with some stunning vintage jewelry.
ReplyDeleteI also second renttherunaway.com I've heard great things. Hope you share some pictures from your military ball, sure you'll be the prettiest one there!
Out of those, definitely the red!
ReplyDeleteI say go sexy or stay home! It's both of your nights to shine.
ReplyDeleteThe red J. Crew is sexy AND classy....I say, go with that.
