I went to a fundraising event for The Bay Lights recently.  I was invited to attend not as a donor (our Mayor, Ed Lee, donated $5,000), but as an advocate of the arts. Watch this space for more from me about this amazing art installation. They asked us to wear black and be brilliant, so I wore a black skirt and top, with a rhinestone necklace and belt.  I have a matching rhinestone bracelet but it kept snagging on the skirt.

Necklace: Ron’s Rhinestones – Plus Sized Collection
Top: Ebay (5 years old), one of my favorites.  It has mesh on top when that mesh look was not nearly as popular
Skirt: Torrid – Black Sequin Splice Mini (December 2011) size 5X but it runs large and a 4X would have been sufficient
Rhinestone Belt: Affinity – Custom made on Ebay $20
Shoes: Lane Bryant Size 10W (December 2011)

Here is a small photo that they took of me at the event overlooking the Bay on a fabulous evening in San Francisco.
