I really need some help. I've been invited to a friends Sweet Sixteen party and I have only a small clue of what I want to wear and I need your help. The party is going to have loud music, bright lights, etc (kind of a rave theme), but my friend said we could wear whatever we want (some people are wearing party dresses, others are wearing jeans and tee's). It's quite obvious that I'm not a girly girl so the dress is out of the question. I'm planning on wearing some dark-washed jeans, flats, and a nice top with some jewelry. I own the jeans but I need to buy the flats, top and jewelry and I have no idea what styles to go with. I'm very short, I'm barely 5'1' and I'm not fat but I'm a bit chubby, I'm not gonna lie. Please Help. I really want to look nice.

I am a 6ft tall woman that loves to wear pumps.
