Given that there are few parties that are "can't pass up" in my world and most of the ones I do go to are VERY informal... I simply do not have the components to make u a "killer outfit".

I'd probably go with my standard (and OLD --- bought it back in the late 90s) knit black trousers and coat with a silk shell... I don't have pictures, though...

I'm a basic black kind of person myself, since it's easy to dress up or down. ;-)

I've got a pair of black slacks that I pair with a draped top that has interesting sleeves. #I just bought a cute pair of boots that would look fabulous with the outfit. LOL) I add a bit of pizzazz to it with either a red belt, worn loosely or different jewelry to give it sparkle.

Oooooo fun question!

I would first be really excited, then I'd freak out! I don't think I have enough killer clothes to create a killer outfit. I would grab my fave new outfit that has a colorful green and ivory deep v-neck frilly top that would show my gorgeous heart pendant. I'd thrown on the black wide-leg pants that came with the outfit. I'd rock some fun jewelry and wear the highest pointiest stiletto heels in my closet!

That's the best I can do on short notice! If I had an hour I'd put on some red nail polish over my pink and white acrylics for a festive touch!

Hmm... I would most like wear a pair of black trousers and an off-the shoulder top silk top that I'm having made. Or my leather skirt (which has a long slit at the front) with a pale blue sleeveless silk top with this bold embroidery around the neckline.

My suede high-heeled pumps would probably go with both outfits. And make-up, of course. I rarely put on eye makeup so that would also have an effect. If it's an important function, I'd have the hair stylist, who is also a make-up artist, do my face and hair.
