Thank you for everyone's input! Sorry to not respond earlier - I dropped into the farewell straight after a full day of work! Have now added WiW pics to the OP (original post)
I had *really* wanted to wear the satin cargo pants, mostly because (as @TheCat mentioned) they have a very limited window of wearable opportunity! (I don't have the sort of lifestyle for 'casual going out' events, so I thought they'd work well at a bar - but what do I know, anyway? Lol )
The forecast was unfortunately *very* humid & *very* rainy right before I left though, so the thought of *anything* encasing my legs (even satin) was awful! Went with the orangey red dress, my purple map print scarf & my chocolate rainbow earrings in the end (pics ETA in original post).
I ended up taking off the scarf (attached) just before I got there though, & felt that was the right call - there were far too many people in the bar to feel cold (my ex-boss has been in HK for 20+ years!) & it was far too humid to deal with anything fussy. So I stuffed it into my mini circle backpack, along with my poncho (which I *of course* didn't end up needing - typical weather!) so that my hands were free to say hi to my ex- & current bosses. (Un)luckily my Potential Boss wasn't there at the same time as me (I nipped out in-between to get dinner, then returned for goodbyes), so didn't need to worry about that aspect after all!
TL;DR: I felt prepared enough in my outfit to make small talk with my current boss & to thank my ex-boss for all that she's done for me over the years. Couldn't ask for more
