a bar mitzvah. It is an afternoon party is at a high-end catering place. I found two flattering dresses at Nordstrom:

and
http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/adrianna-papell-flutter-sleeve-tiered-dress/3258843?origin=category&resultback=5994
I wanted a dress with sleeves because my arms are mushy mommy arms. The first dress is a little less dressy I think but it is super comfortable. I love the color of the second dress but I think the sleeves are *slightly* matronly. The first dress gives my a long lean look. But it is a little boring. If I were to go with this dress I have absolutely no idea how to accessorize...I wear the same jewlery pieces everyday and would have to go out and get costume jewler. Also, no idea what shoes to wear...metalic? nude? My legs are not my strongest attribute and would probably look better with super high heels, but unfortunately I can't walk in anything over 2 inches (maybe 3) and a definte no to an ankle strap....cuts the line of my legs.
Any opinions and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
