Re: Shopping
Somebody was asking for fashion advice the other day for some kind of cocktail party and posted a dress similar to this as an option. Let me see if I can find the post.

This dress: http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/calvin-klein-stretch-luxe-belted-sheath-dress/3149594?origin=category&resultback=2423
ETA2: It only comes in black. Are you attached to the navy?
This is similar but I'll keep looking.

Pretty similar, you could take off the belt, and it's on sale today for 63 bucks.
I just realized it is only available in a few sizes, so may not work...sorry.

Not sure if you'd be into the knot stuff on it...and it's cobalt not navy.
This seems a bit more loose fitting.

The blue is a bit too bright for me...but I like that cut.
LOVE this!
What do you think of this?

I know you said away from black but you might be able to search for this dress in different colors

I like that. I think the sleeves would look funny on me because I have big arms but it's cute.

I think it is cute. I wish I had the body to pull it off.
