Rachylou - I would think that a skirt would be totally appropriate to a party! I agree that the designer will probably have an amazing house.
I would probably pull out one of my dresses that doesn't see much sunlight, like those I wear to weddings. And if I wanted to be a little more casual in it, I'd pair it with boots and a jean jacket. Or, I'd wear colored jeans/pants with a fun, flowy top.
Another option is this awesome tulle skirt I found at Torrid (see finds). So I'd wear it, pulled up to my natural waist, belt it. Wear a tighter shirt in a neutral tucked in (probably white or black) and a scarf around my neck that had the color of the skirt in it. As a topper, I'd do a moto, blazer or jeans jacket. Brown boots, over the knee socks or patterned tights. Or pumps if I want to up the dressiness.
Let us know what you decide to wear! I definitely think you could have fun with what you wear tonight!
