panic stations

i found out today that i have a semi-formal netball awards dinner next saturday night.

that sounds good i thought. i have plenty of clothes to choose from. and then i read further on the invitation and realise it says theme: red, black and white. (those are the associations colours).

dilemma 1: i dont have any semi-formal/ cocktail dress kind of things in red, black or white. (well not any half-decent things at least).

dilemma 2: i dont know whether to actually take this colour theme seriously or just ignore and do my own thing.

dilemma 3: i dont want to buy anything new if avoidable.

ive been wanting to recreate this diy from teenvogue for a while now:
Photobucket
Photobucket
and it would fit in with the theme without being overly 'themey' (if that makes any sense). And i think i would do it sans the black ribbon becasue i think that adds a bit of a tacky edge that wouldnt be appreciated at a snobby netball function.

well i dont know what to do.
i guess i have a week to delve over the situaiton

ciao!

maybe you should verge into the dip dyeing thing. update an old dress or something...or rent/borrow one from someone.
