I'm not going to lie, I've had Inauguration on the brain all week. I'm so excited to get all dressed up, see friends and family, and pretend like we are a part of the Washington elite. What a glamourous life I lead (
said with full sarcasm). So after
Wednesday's post where I talked inaugural options, where SO many of you commented and just gushed about the emerald option (no longer available at Macy's BTW, ANNOYING), I've been re-evaluating my options. I want to incorporate emerald one way or another. But should I run out and get a new dress? or maybe invest in a few accessories? What to do. What to do. So these are all options I would love to consider adding to my look.
What do y'all think? Full on gown? or do I stick with accessories?
PS. How amazing would it be for Michelle to rock that Elie Saab Gown? I'm dying just thinking about it. Have a great weekend loves!

I love the full on gown! The one on the right is sooo beautiful! But I love this color to bits, so accessories work too! :)
I say go full on gown! The sequin one on the right is absolutely stunning! Share pics however you decide. xo
I think a full on gown would be gorgeous! :)
Oh my goshhh an emerald gown would be so perfect for the balls! Love both of those picks!

Emerald green is one of my favorite colors. I think an emerald green gown would be stunning. Full on gown!
That gown is absolutely beautiful!!!! I would only get a new dress if you really need it and would wear it again. Otherwise, get some cute accessories!! Can't wait to see your dress!!
I am with the other readers...definitely an emerald gown, so so so gorgeous!
I do love the dangling earrings as well! Can't wait to see what you decided!

everything elie saab does is ridiculously amazing. SO jealous you get to run around to 3 different balls! have you considered rent the runway?
Maybe I am the only one scared of color, but I was going to say go with emerald accessories! Sorry to muddy the water! Maybe I should branch out and stop wearing so much black and white. It seems like everyone is loving all this green. (Note: I am currently wearing black, white and gray. How boring)
Those gowns are gorgeous! Love the jewelry too!

Well that sequin dress is pretty much to die for, but I really like the earrings if you just want to add a little touch. Such pretty picks!

Those sparkly shoes are amazing!! So are the accessories and the sequins dress!
Stunning! Both dresses are absolutely gorgeous!!
In love with everything. BUT the ring is my absolute favorite, so tiny and so delicate and yet so strong! ;)

i love the idea of emerald accessories! if you had a black dress, the accessories would pop so well!
This is absolutely adorable! Great post, pretty lady! ;)

BEAUTIFUL!! I think accessories are the way to go.
Emerald is such a gorgeous color that whatever option you chose you'd look amazing! However, if you went with emerald accessories, you could wear them throughout the year. I don't know if you'd get the same wearability out of a dress. Just my $0.02. Have a great weekend!
ohh so fancy! i've always thought emerald was such a classy and elegant color. those dresses prove it! :)
omgosh! I love these!!! The color is amazing!
emerald is def one of my favorites :)
happy Friday!

That green sparkle number is gorgeous!!! I am such a fan of these picks - you're going to rock out that ball!

I love that sequin gown but I also kinda think those shoes with a black dress would look stunning!
That gown is beyond stunning! But then, so are the accessories. I want that clutch!

Both dresses are amazing, but oh my...the one on the right is jaw drop to the floor GORGEOUS! You nailed it with both options.
that gown is amazing

Beautiful gowns. However, I would stick with accessories. You'll probably wear them throughout the year. :)
YES to the Elie Saab! duh :)
I say get a new dress!! There aren't that many opportunities to totally marinate in the feeling of being a girl and picking out a gorgeous new gown, so take those chances ;) and my god, emerald would look gorgeous on you. Especially that sequin dress- SO pretty!
Those emerald stud and drop earrings are gorgeous!! You're going to have a blast!
That Elie Saab goes is everything! I wish I had a black tie event to go to so I could wear it!

I think you should accessorize a gorgeous dress you already own with some of these beautiful emerald accents, like the earrings and the clutch. I'm headed to DC on Thursday for my first inauguration and am so excited (I heard it's frigid, though)! Have so much fun!
