Dress Me Up!

I have a dilemma, and I need your help. My one year wedding anniversary is coming up (June 17), and Husband and I have possible plans of going out to a nice dinner at Hennen’s in Downtown Chattanooga.. However, I have nothing nice to wear. It’s not an extremely fancy place, but I’d still like to wear a nice dress. Husband isn’t any help–he’s only seen me in two dresses (and one was my wedding dress), so he has no idea. Honestly, I’m not much of a help to myself since I rarely ever wear dresses.

I’m going to throw a few ideas out there, and then maybe you can help. I don’t want anything too expensive. (Hopefully less than $50, honestly.) I’ll still need to purchase shoes as well because all of my heels are gone–except the white pair I wore to my wedding. Since I’m extremely petite (5’1″ and ~105 lbs … and I’m small-chested), I can’t wear anything too long; Husband doesn’t like anything too short either, though. So, I’m thinking just above the knee, perhaps? Also, I’m extremely fair-skinned, so I don’t look great in yellow. (Is this too picky?)

Husband and I actually agreed to liking this dress, and since it’s only $28.50 at Macy’s. It’s not in my size, though, and I’m not sure where the nearest Macy’s is–if we even have one nearby!

Forever 21 has a dress that I love (for only $24.80!), but I’m not sure if the color would wash me out too much. (Like I said, fair-skinned.)

I’m also trying to stay far away from big prints, but I’m open to ideas. Let me know what you think!

(Maybe Apricot could help out on this one?)
