What to Wear to a Class Reunion
I am attending my ten year reunion in April and I don't want to be over dressed or too casual. I am thinking of wearing black pants in maybe a flowing sort of fabric, any suggestions? Should I wear a dress? If I wear pants, what type of shirt should I wear? I am 5'3 and size 6, so I usually wear heels. I want to make a good impression--help!
If you want to be dressy but not overly dressed, I really like your idea of flowing black pants and a dressy shirt, with the ubiquitous heels, of course! For the shirt, I would consider a shirt-cut top in satiny silk, in a rich color that flatters your skin tone. (Banana Republic has some great ones right now--I just got one in a soft gold that I can't wait to wear, and might wear to my own 20th reunion this summer).
Also, ruffly, feminine shirts are really big right now. I would wear one with a choker necklace--maybe one in black suede with a bold silver or gold charm, and some simple earrings. If you opt for a dress, I would go for a simple shift, either in black or another dark neutral like navy or brown.
Go barelegged, and if you don't tan (like I don't), then put self-tanner on your legs a couple of days beforehand, and again, wear heels--some strappy ones for this look! If you're new to self-tanner, start practicing now, or have a salon apply it for you the day before the event. To really shine, go in with your biggest smile and all of your confidence--that's what people are really going to remember. It's a great party-have a wonderful time and be dazzling!
