I have a small dilemma. I was invited to my fiance's holiday company party. The invitation says semi formal. My other problem is I'm like a size 16, so I have no idea what to wear, and i don't want to wear a dress if I don't have to.

Quite simply, semi formal it means dressy, fancy, cocktail-type attire. You do not have to wear a dress because fancy slacks with a "flowing" top [which will help you with your size] will work just fine. The "in" color seems to be black these days, even for weddings. The accessories are most important: fancy earrings, dressy pumps/sandals, and a small evening bag to carry your lipstick. My biggest tip for you is to BE SURE TO SMILE. This is your fiance's office party, so smile sincerely! This time of the year, most stores are having terrific sales. Having a basic "semi-formal" outfit ready to go will be worth your time and money. Change the look with accessories, but never change the smile=). Have fun, and be gracious!
