what I'd wear to the Met Ball

called the "party of the year", the annual Met Ball is truly my favorite fashion night of the year. celebrities and the fashion elite are at their finest in amazing gowns paired with the theme of the evening.

this year, with the theme PUNK: Chaos to Couture, the Ball promises to have some incredible ensembles. while I don't have a ticket {but attending the ball is a true dream of mine}, I of course have spent time thinking about what I'd wear. punk is really not my aesthetic, so I'd give punk a preppy, girly twist with lots of black diamonds as my sparkle statement.
