Fashion Advice Needed *Pics*

I'm planning my outfit for my husbands birthday party. Its cold here at night but not freezing so I'm going to wear a dress. We're having his party at a nice(r) bar. Maybe hit a few while we are out. 

 

 I want to wear this dress

With these boots

The dress is kind of short. Should I wear leggings? If so, what color?

    I'd go legging free. Or what about some textured tights?

    Ooh I have some that are textured really cute. But they are black. Would that be to contrast? Also brown boots/black tights?

    Yes I think this is a cute outfit.  I would wear jeggings/skinny dark jeans with it if it really is that short.

    Its weird, its to long for jeans (looks like a dress over jeans) but is to short (IMO for someone of my age to wear w/o some kind of pant)

    Also, I REALLY like those boots. Are they newer? Details, please!

    I actually scored them out thrifting one day. 2$!!! I think I skipped to the register! Real leather and the bottoms were in perfect condition. I've worn them a LOT since I bought them and I really put some miles on them now.

    cream tights/leggings?

    I feel like black would be too harsh with that outfit (cute btw) and brown would clash with the boots. Textured might not go with the pattern on the dress...

    I like the cream tights idea.

    I would wear leggings, probably black leggings!  The black/brown issue has been thrown out and in recent years become trendy (I live in the midwest, trends show up late around here so I am not sure when it became okay!).

    Do you have lavender or plum tights that might match the fabric at the bottom?

    Hmmm a plum might be REALLY pretty. Play up the dark purple color with my eye make up.

    I think textured black tights would be super cute with that dress and boots. I love the outfit. You will look so cute!!

    My mom gave me the dress for Christmas. She paid like 4$ for it at american eagle.

     

    She originally picked it up for me to wear to a really good friends wedding in april. When I told her no way I could wear it to a wedding she was SO confused by the no white rule. I was like "WHAAAAAT how have you lived your whole life and not know this?????"

    Cute.  I would wear some kind of leggings.  It might just be the pic without seeing it on, but I thought it was a top. :)

    Target has tights and jeggings (yep jeggings) in all the colors. I bet you could find a color to compliment if you decided against black. I think black is fine though. I'm totally jealous of the outfit. It's adorable, and ps., I'd totally rock it with no leggings if I had the body, be damned how old I am!

    $4 is a SUPER deal! Your mom is my kind of shopper! I only shop clearance racks.

    That's cute that she didn't know about that rule. My mom told me that rule. Too funny.

    Yeah she's a freaking bargain hunter, I love it. She will bring me huge bags of clothes every couple months and she seriously is like "don't give me money, I got all this for like 7$" and its stuff from gap, AE, Hollister, ON.

    She's like my personal shopper. I <3 it!

     

    Confession. She buys us matching outfits still. LOL.  Sometimes if we want to mess with my dad/my DH we actually will wear our matching outfits out in public. I'm sure we look crazy but my mama is like one of my best friends. (She still makes me crazy. But I love her)

    This.  Plum/lavender tights or leggings 

    Another vote for plum/lavender tights. I think the right shade of gray could also work. I don't think black would look good- too harsh with the dress and boots.  

    ETA I actually think brown could work if it were the same shade as the boots or a shade lighter.
