Another Vegas dress possibility

I picked up this knit dress at the consignment place the other day as another possibility to wear for my friend's wedding in Las Vegas. It's not super-dressy as it is a poly knit but there's something about the shape and the print that seems more Vegas-y than my current options. What do you think? Please ignore my undone hair and naked Sunday face.

1 - alone with strappy black wedge sandals
2/3 - with my current (non-velvet) dressy black blazer. This is a few years old now and maybe the silhouette is a little dated?
4 - with a newer but ponte knit black blazer
5 - wildcard with white linen blazer and nude sandals

That looks super-flattering on you! I think it looks most Vegas-y alone, but also like it a lot with the white blazer. It looks good with the black ones too, but a little more winter or office.

I like it! The cut is very flattering and the print is fun. Are you afraid of being too hot in a poly dress? I like either of the last two blazers. I agree the first one is a little dated, at least over a dress, sorry!

I like it a lot! Fits you perfectly and looks versatile for many occasions. Could you add a statement necklace to add some Vegas bling?

I do like the dress. The last 2 jackets are better. I can't remember what you think the " season " there will be. I would not wear a white jacket to a wedding, but not everyone is that strict.

I like it best without the blazer, which makes it more serious.

I like the dress best on its own. If a topper is needed, I like the one in 4 best.

I haven't seen your other posts, but my fav of this lot is the first, without topper, and with the black strappy sandals. The jackets look a bit too "business-y" for Vegas, to me.

Another vote for 1. The jackets do look a bit too businessy. Can you do a dressy moto jacket? Or would it be too casual/warm for a Vegas wedding?

I think the dress looks good on you but the jackets you showed seem too "office-y" for me. Do you have a pashmina or shawl in a solid color that you could wrap around your arms if you needed it? Sorry I don't know the particulars of the wedding you're attending but if it is in Las Vegas, air-conditioning will probably be involved. Having a light topper to throw over your dress is a good idea.

Thanks, everyone. I think this is a solid possibility, maybe sans blazer at all. Never know how extreme the a/c might be in Vegas, which is why I wanted some sort of topper option. I'm not a pashmina girl, or at least not for formal occasions; they drive me nuts with all the moving around they do. But I do have a black scarf that I could take just in case.

Ugh, this has been the worst occasion to dress for...
