Reader Question - Trendy Ten Year Reunion

I am in desperate need of suggestions for an outfit to wear to my 10 year class reunion coming up in a couple weeks. It is being held at a private room in a trendy restaurant/bar downtown. Obviously I want to look good, but I don't want to look like I'm trying too hard. Any suggestions would be helpful! - Susan

Susan, I definitely understand the need to look good at a 10 year reunion. I had mine a couple of years ago - luckily, it was so casual (it was held outdoors and was BYOB - ha!) that there wasn't too much pressure.

With the setting you described you can really take your look lots of directions - sexy sophisticate, party dress, trendy denim or skinnies with a tunic. Check it out:
