Short and sweet: Is this dress appropriate to wear to DH’s holiday party? It will be held in a dressy restaurant. It’s more green than it looks in this picture. Also, if it is appropriate, should I wear tights with it?

@MrsSaltWaterTaffy: Thanks! I actually got it for our engagement pics originally, but felt it was too fancy ๐ I guess maybe it’s more appropriate for a holiday party!

I love it! I would not wear it with tights if it’s a dressy restaurant (tights tend to seem casual to me).

It’s so pretty, I love it! I think it’s more than appropriate.

@spaniel: Good point.
If I go with bare legs, should I wear closed toed black pumps (pointy-ish toe, stiletto heel) or peep toe satin heels?
(wow, I am incapable of making any decision with out getting others’ opinions, lol).

I’ve seen a lot of really cute patent leather pumps and peep toes lately. They would look cute.

Cute! I think tights are too heavy for the dress.

@SLS79: That would look cute…unfortunately, the party is tomorrow, lol, so I just have to go with what’s in my closet already! ๐

@BanditGirl: Also agree with that actually…I wore this dress with tights to a bar mitzvah and felt like it made it look chunkier and more casual, as @spaniel said. Thanks! ๐

Love it! I think the peep toe would be great but I’m thinking not practical in the weather no? Unless you change boots to shoes as soon as you get there!

I would suggest wearing it with a spectacular statement necklace, though. I see something like this with it:

@bakerella: Yeah it’s supposed to be freezing here tomorrow, but i t’s relatively dry out so I think I would be okay in peep toes. HOWEVER, that would mean I would have to get a mani pedi :/
@BanditGirl: What kind of necklace? Any examples? ๐
