I’m enjoying a quiet spell from the crazy Conference Registar role I volunteered for this year. The RWA’s national conference on the Gold Coast in August will dazzle, especially with the traditional dress-up Cocktail Party theme this year – Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend.
In the lead up to the conference, the Conference Coordinator (Fiona Gregory) and I starting to get into the swing of things, taking part in some fun blogs over at Romance Writers of Australia and talking about our 1950’s Hollywood glamour cocktail party outfits (among other – less important – things).
In that blog post, I refer to my very blingy blue number with the sparkly sequins on shoulderpads to die for as Vintage/Recycled (a.k.a that outfit I haven’t had the heart to throw away these 27 years, thinking I might actually be able to wear a blingy blue number one day and still fit into it.) August 17 will be the day and just to prove it is 27 years old and still holding together (better than I am sadly) here it is.
Very blingy and very blue.
[…] Can you give us a hint of your costume for the Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend Cocktail party? Vintage/Recycled (a.k.a that outfit I haven’t had the heart to throw away, thinking I might actually be able to wear a blingy blue number and still fit into it. (Don’t believe it’s vintage. Check this out.) […]
Love the dress, Jenn. I have no idea what I’m wearing yet. Definitely faux diamonds but what else? See you at the conference!
Definitely suggest MORE than faux diamonds, no matter how strategically placed Bernadette LOL Look forward to meeting you.
I cannot WAIT to see you in this!! Bet you’ll look FAB!!
