So, about 2 mos ago, I got it all. cut. off. I have a dark brown little pixie cut to go with my pale winter skin and big hazel eyes. I love it for my day to day life. It is fun, still professional, and very easy.
But, now, I need to go to a black-tie formal event with DH next month, and I keep thinking that I am going to look ridiculous in a formal gown. I do think that for this event, long is the way to go. I loved this (http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/adrianna-papell-tiered-chiffon-gown/3106871?origin=related-3106871-0-0-1).....but totally wrong with my hair, I think!?!
What types of gowns do you think I should be looking at?
For reference, I am 5'7", size 8, smallish to average boobs. Not in terrible shape, but not in great shape either. I would like to avoid shutter pleats and anything Grecian. Both pretty, but I am getting a little tired of them. Budget, I'd like to keep it under $300, but really, less is more, as I *almost* never have to go to things this formal (I can usually get by with cocktail).
