Bison Ball 2012

I attended Bison Ball last night which is an annual event held by my school, Howard University. It is a time for students to have fun at one last major dance in a classy environment. I wore a black and white long, pleated, backless gown by KNT (Kova and T) from Urban Outfitters. The top part was black and the pleats were white. I added a heap of bracelets on each arm, silver, crystal hoop earrings and a "magazine"-like clutch for accessories. Then, I decided to go with dark purple lips and nails and white and black snake-skin peep-toe stilettos by Colin Stuart. I really loved the look and received a lot of compliments, plus Bison Ball turned out to be a really fun and great night!


Cool lights on the dance floor
My "magazine" clutch purchased at London Fashion Weekend. Tricked a lot of people lol 
Beautiful flower arrangement at the bar

    You look gorgeous! Love the simple black and white but the drama of the skirt and low back. So pretty.

      Hi Emma! Thank you for your comment. I definitely understand because I'm barely 5'5" myself so I was lucky that this dress hit right at the ground with heels. However, I definitely plan to get it hemmed just a touch for future occassions =).

      Thanks for following!
