A Gathered Event: Unlikely Heroes Justice Ball 2013
Last week I had the honor of attending the 2013 Justice Ball in support of ending child sex-slavery. The event was beautiful and housed at the massive Boulevard 3 in Hollywood. The attendees, invited from all over LA, several local mega-churches and synagogues, were dressed elegantly. Although a formal event, many of the fashion savvy LA crowd took that to mean "dress to impress/cocktail attire". Knowing this ahead of time, I opted for a vintage semi-formal dress. Despite the minor faux-pas in formality, the cause of the night was profound and the fashion was lovely. A truly gathered event indeed. We spotted many of the top Fall trends with winter white, vintage film noir, lace, velvet, and black and white. Check out some of our favorite looks of the night.
Lovely, right? Just like the gathered women pictured above, we should always be doing more than having great fashion. We can profoundly impact the world with our style and influence beyond our closets. If you'd like to further support them, consider a donation or spreading the word by liking their facebook. Here are more facts from Unlikely Heroes about child-sex slavery and how this non-profit helps young women in need.
Do you have a gathered event in Los Angeles, New Orleans, Atlanta, or New York City you'd like for us to attend and share the fashionable experience? Connect with us at thegatheredlady@gmail.com or Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram @TheGatheredLady.
