If I Were Going to the Oscars...
So, so much.
I love the awards and the celebrities and the fashion and the imagining my own acceptance speech for the day when I win for Best Original Screenplay...
Anyway, I love dreaming about being there. Being part of one of my very favorite things. So when Misty announced that she was doing this awesome link up, of course I had to join in.
If I were going to the Oscars, I'd want to look fabulous, but still be somewhat comfortable. I'd want a gown that was flattering, but not binding, because who wants to sit there for three hours without the ability to breathe?
I love Vera Wang, and thought for sure I'd be donning something of hers. But no. I found this David Meister gown and fell in love:
I love the color. I love the sparkle. I love the style and the silhouette. I love it.
Because of the high neck line, I would skip a necklace and keep the jewelry simple. I'm thinking diamonds. I'm thinking this:
And some simple earrings to go along with it, though I can't find just the right ones now and it's annoying me.
I'm having similar trouble with my shoes. I know what I want. I just can't find them. But I'm thinking something that won't particularly stand out against the gown. Something sort of like these Jimmy Choos:
Of course, if I'm going to the Oscars, I'm not flying solo. I'm taking me a date. Like the recently re-singled love of my life:
This year's Oscars are going to be amazing.
You are awesome. And if you share this post, you'll be even awesomer!

You're going with Tom Cruise? I'm going with Tom Hardy. Aren't we awesome?
ReplyDeleteI love dresses with cap sleeves. It's gorgeous and would be super comfortable too.
Maybe we can sit together!
DeleteI love your choices! Gorgeous dress!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThis was great! Enjoy Mr. Cruise! :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, I will!
Deletehahahaha I was so confused by the picture of Tom Cruise. I thought - Oh my gosh! That girl seriously looks JUST like Karen!!! And then I couldn't figure out why the hair went from dark brown, to blond and pink bangs. haha I got it now :) I promise I'm not suuuuper dumb. Just a little dumb.
ReplyDeleteHahaha! I wondered if anyone would get confused by that. I couldn't find the pictures of me with dark hair, so I had to go with next best.
DeletePerfect!!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteHaha! I love the picture of you and your boyfriend!! I seriously love that dress too. And the shoes! This was so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to print it out and frame it. :-)
DeleteHe is available!
ReplyDeleteIt's because he knows I am too.
DeleteI love the Oscars too. I always get a kick out of them, but I'd never be able to pull off a gown and heels look. Think they'd be cool with jeans and hiking boots?
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to go to the Oscars! I love the photo with TC! You did a great job with this Karen!
ReplyDeleteJulie
Thank you so much, Julie!
DeleteI've always wanted to go to the Oscars. Maybe one day...
Beautiful dress! Althought I think you could pull of some colored shoes though! (although those Jimmy Choo's are KILLER!!)
ReplyDeleteI was looking at colored shoes, but I just couldn't decide on a color I liked. And then I found those Jimmy Choos and, well...yeah.
DeleteI'm so glad you finally got your long awaited dream date with Tom Cruise! Have fun! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI LOVE you so much for this post.
ReplyDeleteFor researching outfits & jewelry!
THE BEST!
I Love the Oscars too, but have never thought to put my "look" together!
It was so much fun to put together. I mean...uh...it was SUCH a sacrifice!
Deletealso you should just buy that dress to wear around the house. SOOOO pretty!
ReplyDeleteI totally should. I found it on sale for only like $2000.
DeleteLove that dress. I made a real effort this year to see most of the best pic nominees so I would appreciate the show much more. I will be watching with you, K!
ReplyDeleteYay! It's definitely more fun to watch the show when you know what's going on.
DeleteI love your choices, Karen! I wish I was going to the Oscars too! I LOVE THEM, ABSOLUTELY CANNOT WAIT FOR SUNDAY!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're gonna need shorter heels, then. ;)
