I've been invited to a semi-formal sweet 16 and i don't know what to
wear. I really don't want to wear slacks and a nice top, I want to wear a
nice dress- nothing too big just one that you would normally wear to a
dinner or something. Would that be good? Or should I stick with the
slacks?
"Semi-formal" means dressy. Formal would be a prom-type, fancy dress.
Semi-formal is still fancy, but not too much whoopla. (That is what I
think you are describing.) Although slacks can be fancy, choosing a
dress is a much better choice. Your accessories can dress it up, such
as earrings, necklace and shoes. My only word of advice is to be classy
by having the dress you choose be tasteful for your age group. I think
you are about 16 years old, so don't choose a dress that will make you
look 26 years old. That means not too short, not too low. Choose a
dressy shoe, not too high because you want to be comfortable and
gracious. Many stores have personal shoppers (Nordstroms and Steinmart
are excellent stores that offer this free service.) These women will
help you! Very light makeup will finish you off!
My last piece of advice is to be sure to send a thank you note for this
special occasion. Send it to the person(s) who is/are hosting the
party. That will be the frosting on the cake!
