My husband's 30 year class reunion is coming up.  He's from a small town in southern Illinois.  Very conservative...so convervative that there won't even be alchohol at the dinner.  The dinner is at a local country club on a 9 hole golf course.  I am told that people don't really dress up much for this so a full-out cocktail style dress would be way over the top.  My husband and I just got married in 2005 so I have never met most of these people.  I'm 12 years younger than DH so I want to appear current and youthful without being too fashion-forward.

The color black does not look good on me so I'm searching for a non-black dress.  My best colors are blues & greens.  The reunion is in late Sept so it will probably still be fairly warm. I want something with my shoulders covered at least because I tend to get cold in AC and don't want to have to deal with a pashima all night.

So, I found this dress on Nordstrom.com.  What do you think?  Other suggestions.

I love that dress!  I think its PERFECT for what you're describing.  It reminds me of a dress I'm ordering from vicky's, which could be an option.  It's $65.  It's not here yet or I'd tell you how it looks.  Have fun at the reunion!

I think that one looks perfect, then! Your colour, classy but still sexy, and I'm sure very flattering!

I decided to go ahead and order the green print dress from Nordstrom.  I like prints and the color so hopefully it fits.  I think I will probably wear neutral shoes (either a burnished gold/silver or possibly a nude tan type color). 

But what sort of jewelery would look best?  Should I wear a necklace?  If yes, what type?

Not a collar necklace.  Something that falls in a V shape to play up the V of the dress.

Pretty dress.  I hope you have a good time.
