Greetings Fashion Friends,
I have another reader request that I'd like to share with you. This one is from Serita. Keep 'em coming people!
Hello,
I'm going to a formal event in a couple of weeks and I would like some help finding a suitable dress. I don't want to go all out and I definitely want to keep it under $100. Thank you for your help.
Dang, I don't have any formal events to attend! Oh I'm sooooo not leading the glamorous life, I gotta step my "A" game up, lol. Well Serita, I hope what I've assembled below helps. This assortment may be shipped and all the dresses will arrive within 7-10 days (if you order online).

The price is so right on this lovely halter gown and the lilac looks great on all skin tones to me.

I love this dress and black is just soooo slimming. I think the pin tucks along the sweetheart neckline are fab so I would advise you to stay away from a statement necklace. However, huge chandelier earrings will work well along with a blinged out bracelet.

Okay this dress is a little risque with the keyhole bodice and high hemline. However, scale back on the accessories and go with a natural look and you will be a class act.

This is such a va-va-voom look. I'm loving the price so I had to include it plus I really believe if you go with gold jewelry and some sky high heels, the dress will fit in well with your formal environment.

Talk about a maxi dress that can really make a statement. The beaded collar is lovely so just add some jeweled earrings, huge cocktail ring, and bracelet and you're good to go.

Beaded crinkle chiffon dress
$59.00 www.newport-news.com
Wow, another fabulous buy! Complement this dress with some jeweled strappy heels, earrings, and cocktail ring.
I really hope this gives you an idea about what you can wear to a "formal" affair. We're so loose with our interpretation these days that any of the above dresses should work just fine.
TTFN!
