What to wear for my HS reunion?

[Anonymous]

Gasp - my 25th is coming up - this spring. There will be a casual bar gathering on Friday night and a more formal dinner on Saturday night. I am about 5 pounds heavier than high school, if that. My legs are not in fabulous shape, so I can wear something cut at the knees, but nothing shorter than that.

Would love suggestions - TIA!

Bless your heart for attending a HS reunion. How about a wrap dress with some cute knee high boots?

I think that unless you're taller than average these will hit you at the knee -

I like both the black wrap dress (with dressy sandals) and the asymmetrical black dress for the Saturday night dinner, but that is based on my body type and personality.

Casual bar gathering is probably the tougher one to figure out. Depends on what part of the country, what kind of bar, and how warm spring is. My first suggestion would be dark straight jeans, dressy top and heels. Alt 1: ankle-length pants, dressy top, flats. Alt 2: pencil skirt, fun top (could even be a t-shirt, possibly with studding), bold jewelry.

Consider what will pack well, too. Knits generally pack better than other fabrics.

Good luck & have fun!
