All Dressed Up to Catch a Glimpse of the List

I love October and November, partly because of all the dressing up I get to do. 'Tis the season of holiday parties, benefits, museum galas, and masquerade balls! People just don't get as glammed up in the warmer months as they do in the fall. And speaking of masquerade balls, I'm going to be attending the annual one at Lincoln Center on the arm of a handsome gentleman tomorrow night and still have no idea what I'm going to wear. Option #1? The sheer black, lace-streaked Derek Lam dress above (with a glittery black cat-eye mask, of course). Thoughts?
