New dress!

OK, I went nuts and spent $$$ on a new dress. But it is totally fabulous, and my 20th high school reunion is in less than 2 weeks, so I just had to have it.

Now, I'd like your input - for those of you who are fashion-minded - what jewelry should I get to go w/this? I was thinking a chunky black & white necklace and matching earrings & bracelet. Is that too much? What would YOU get?

By the way, it is a size FOUR! I tried the size 6, and was feeling like it wasn't going to stay up! I have NEVER EVER in my life worn a size so small and it's amazing!!!

Whoowee! Nice dress! And a size 4! That's awesome. My opinion on jewellery....I think a solid black necklace would be nice. Or even nothing at all - just black dangly earrings and a black pashmina shawl around your shoulders would be classy. But what do I know...I haven't been to a formal event in a while!

Wow, Tammy, you look fantastic! For jewlery, I'd tend to think less is more and avoid chunky or plastic-looking. I think chunky would be overwhelming now that you're so petite. Earrings can be showier, dangly--I believe chandalier is the in phrase.

I should add the disclaimer that I am completely fashion impaired. I realized about a month ago that I've hardly bought any new clothes for myself in the last 10 years, so I really need to make an effort to update now.

My best advice would be to take a picture of the dress to a classy store like Nordstrom and ask for their advice. I did that for a wedding several years ago, then prowled the mall looking for a bargain on something similar. I went back to Nordstrom the next day and got what they recommended without feeling I paid too much.

Love it love it love it! You look AWESOME! Did you send that photo (with dress size) to the Today Show? I bet it would be a hit.

I am hopeless when it comes to fashion advice but I think the dangly earrings idea is great and I like sarah's idea of a black pashmina shawl, although I don't know what pashmina is. :-)

You look FABULOUS dah-ling!

What can I say Tammy -- you look absolutely stunning -- I see that no other male has made a comment -- so I am glad I am the first -- you look just amazing

OK, jewelry. Nothing too chunky, you don't want to take away from your great collar bone and neck. A delicate necklace and small earrings would be perfect. A large bangle in either black or the same metal tone (either gold or silver) would completely finish the look.

Excellent, excellent dress!
