Finally ready for my formal event this Sat!
I had a rough time picking a dress because the event is to eat at a very fancy restaurant and then afterwards, walk over to the Christmas in the Park magical setups in the city. The invite clearly indicates that this is a formal event. I couldn't imagine dressing up and then trying to stay warm for the park afterwards. Since I am not comfortable into long gowns or dresses that are overly fancy, I came up with my own strategy.
I am going to wear a short dress, bring a sweater jacket in case it is cold inside the restaurant and then when dinner is over, go put on my warm leggings and flat shoes since no one is going to see my dress under my warm trench coat. I am also going to wear the same dress at NYE but with a leather jacket and boots to change things up.
Here is the dress I picked (below response since everytime I tried to post into the message body, the messages get covered up). I figure it will put me in the middle category of the various ranges of formal. The dress actually comes to just the top of my knees unlike the tall model.

Love that dress! Debated on the one you picked and a few others for dresses... but I worried that it was going to be too low cut. I hate too much cleavage.
I just ordered two of these dresses in blue and heather gray. LOVE LOVE LOVE them - http://www.express.com/rouched-scoop-neck-dress-38037-22/control/page/6/show/3/index.pro
The rouching is so flattering, and it hugs you in all the right places. Express is def my go to store. Have fun at your party!
Thanks everyone! KaraC18, the dress you gotten is wonderful! I wish I could pull of the hip part but my hips never been the same since I had my son.
