Ask Angie: is this party dress a 10?

greenglove

I am going to my dear aunts 90th birthday party. Festive not formal.
Only want to keep this dress if it is a 10.

If so I have shown a few ways of accessorizing:
1. http://i41.photobucket.com/alb.....flower.jpg

2. different necklace:

3. with jacket and no flower

If dress not a go is jacket worth keeping?
Everyone's input welcome and appreciated, I am on a time constraint!

I love that dress on you! I am no fashionista, but I think it's super flattering for your figure. And personally, if I had your arms, I would not cover them with a jacket (although the jacket looks cute). I think that dress is definitely a keeper!

Wow, I think it looks stunning on you! Yellow is such a festive and happy colour, and the paring with the jacket is fab. LOVE it, so I say keep both

I love, love, love the dress on you. I like it with the jacket & flower, but like it even more with the necklace (second picture). I'm not an expert, but I definitely think it's a 10. And I can imagine the jacket working with all sorts of things.

Wow, I'd give it a 12! That is such a great dress, Jean, and you wear it so well! I love it with the jacket and the flower. If it were mine, I'd throw the yellow necklace on too and really go all-out with the yellow, but I understand that isn't for everyone;) Any way you wear it, it will be fab.

Congrats to your aunt, btw. Be sure to take lots of photos at the event! My granny is turning 97 this year and I have very fond memories of both her 90th and 95th birthday bashes.

You look fantastic! Wow. How do you keep coming up with these amazing outfits?

(By the way - is the jacket a "dusky" color? It's lovely. Do you remember where you bought it or is it thrifted?)

Thanks everyone! It is such a relief to have that be decided, I love this forum. We can have such confidence in our choices.
Tarzy,
I think that the jacket could be a dusky color, it is a slightly muted turquoise. I got the jacket on clearance at H&M. It was the last one that I saw but they might still have them in other stores. I think the color would be great on you!
