I am choosing a formal dress for a party. But I need help in deciding which look is the best. I am cheap and don't feel like spending too much. Windsor store has some cute dresses but I couldn't afford. Haha.
I want some opinions on the outfit I have now, but I still need a handbag (less than $20) and if I need other accessories or changes in my outfit. And with that dress, I don't even need a necklace. Halter Dress: Forever 21 $27.80  Jacket: Forever 21 $29.80  Headband: I forgot where it is but it costs $3  Flats: Old Navy $19.50  Any ideas? Thanks. |

Is the party purely formal? Because the pieces you've picked are a little on the semi-formal side, maybe a tad too casual.

^It wasn't like a prom, so I don't have to dress that formal.

The black and the brown accessories together don't look so great. It's nice otherwise though.

formal is like prom dress. That's semi-formal dude. The headband is a little too casual there.

just wear a little black dress, or white. You can't go wrong there.

The things you've picked out isn't my fave but I like the headband.
Try Charlotte Russe for a black dress. & they have shoes or flats for $18 there. Then I'd get a bright (maybe yellow, red, or green) clutch purse from Forever 21 to go with it. Voila! & if you get a red clutch, you can wear that headband! |

The dress is super cute, but I don't really like the jacket. And the headband...I'm not really sure if it matches that well with the dress. Sorry, I can't see the flats.

get rid of the head band. it makes it look like you're trying too hard.

I think the jacket and headband doesn't quite match the dress and shoes
Maybe try and get some softer color jackets? |

I think the headband is a bit too much, but other then that it's cute.

if the event says formal, go formal. It doesn't have to be a prom dress, just pick out a simple piece you can wear again. "little black dresses' are usually a good reusable piece, but maybe on the semi-formal side. Just go for a full length simple, slim black dress. Can't go wrong.
p.s. the jacket and the headband are too informal |

change the flats to like patented leather bright red flats or heels. everything is pretty much ok ... you might want to wear a bright red thick belt around that waist but its still stylish.
