Help me decide what to wear...

to a fund raiser tomorrow night. It's not a fancy affair, some people will even be in jeans.

I'm planning to wear this dress with my new Fidji Mary Janes (these are so comfortable and funky) and micro fishnets

1. w/white blouse, fushia skinny belt, animal pattern clutch
2. white blouse, snake skin belt, black kate spade bag
3/4 animal print blouse, black belt, black kate spade bag
5/6 camel ruffled edge cardi, animal pattern clutch

which do you like best?

Thanks ladies, honest brutal feedback always welcome.

OMG, I LOVE those shoes!!!!! I would love a pair of those.

(PS, did you try those Seibel booties, too?)

These are all fabulous looks, but I love 3/4 the best. The sheer sleeves of the blouse with the sheer of your hose lends it a simple, understated elegance. If you fear it is too dressy given what others will have on, then I like 5/6, which looks very "approachable" somehow. The sweater is warm and gentle with your hair.

I like #6 the best - the cardigan is really nice on you and I like the animal print clutch with it. #1 is a close second - love the red belt.

Oh Thanks Suz! You make a good point about 5/6 being more approachable, I rather like that one the best, but unsure of how it comes across to others.

I did check out the Seibel booties, I love the style and color, but the heel was a little too high for me. I have been on a major shoe buying binge lately. After hearing that Nordstroms would no longer carry the Fidji brand, I ordered a couple pair. This black pair was actually half price and I have been desperate for black pumps. Score!

Hi Carole --

Another vote for 3/4, the animal print. It's evening...why not kick up your MJ'd heels a little?

#4 is to die for Carole - in my book anyway. I like how animal print is a lower contrast but high interest with this sheath.

I like 3/4 the best too. The animal print adds pizzazz to a conservative look.

I like 3/4. I'd like 5/6 but with a different sweater, the textures aren't working for me. I think it's crisp with too flowy? Maybe?

Thanks everyone for taking time to vote, 3/4 was the winner.

I'm wondering if anyone noticed the sleeves. One side is kind of hanging from the tab sleeve and the other side I buttoned and then folded up with the tb, if that makes sense.

hadn't even noticed the sleeves. Go with the tidier version.. the one on your arm holding the bag.

I think 1 and 2 look too business -y, but prefer the belt in 2. Try scrunching the sleeves and adding a denim or leather jacket? I like the animal print blouse, but something is holding me back. I prefer the last look and think it strikes just the right note for your event. Enjoy raking in the compliments.

I'm so glad that 3/4 is getting a lot of kuddos as it is my pick too.

I find the animal print to be much more approachable and relaxed even though it may be a dressier fabric. It is both these things while still being knock out gorgeous. How do you do that?
