Inaugural Ball Gown

Another Inaugural Ball Outfit Under $100

The thing about whatever you choose to wear to the Inaugural Ball—okay, we’re going to be in front of the TV in our Dearfoams, too, but bear with us—is that it needs to be DC-worthy, meaning it should be elegant, classic and just a little on the conservative side (no see-through, feather-embellished, LA red carpet ensembles here). That doesn’t mean it has to be boring however—we’d suggest an anything-but-basic black dress (illusion neckline, ruching—it’s all in the details), and satin pumps. For under $100 (that’s very un-DC, but we won’t tell . . . )

Inaugural Ball Outfit for Under $100

When our invitation to the Inaugural Ball finally arrives, we’ll definitely need something stand-out fabulous to wear. Right—we know the invitation isn’t coming (an oversight we’ll forgive this one time) but if did get one, we’d pick something elegant in a rich color—after all, this is a celebration, right? We like this Maggy London gown for its flattering shape, pairing it with feminine metallic sandals, for less than a hundred bucks:
 
Maggy London Chiffon Gown with Charmuese Waist, $78.90, Nordstrom

Karols Dress Sandal, $14.99, Payless
