Pre-Deployment Ball Time! For the most part, I like Military Balls (that's what she said,) but I
am dreading dress shopping! I've been to my share of military events over the years and let me tell you, dresses that might have worked at prom when
you were 17 might not be considered appropriate for the ball. Girls, lingerie is not pretty in public. Ok?! And let's
face it, I'm now 31 and a mother of 2. I'm not exactly feeling
ballgown-sexy. Ugh, let the games begin.
So here is what I was thinking...
Last week I won a $50 gift card to Shabby Apple via an awesome blog called Arrow in the Eye. Heard of her? No? Go check her out!

Since I'm cheap money conscience, I was determined not to spend any extra money if possible. So instead of shopping for one of their amazing dresses I ended up going with a pair of rose bud earrings, a black metal headband and a red sash. Sadly, these three little things added up to about $50 + shipping. My hope is that I just stocked up on the accessories needed for the Military Ball; all I need now is the perfect black dress.
