Help! I have lost 140 lbs after Lap-band surgery. I rarely went to events in the past because finding clothing I liked was too much of a challenge. I have been invited to a birthday cocktail party at a very nice venue. It will be in on Apr 26th, from 4 to 7. I want to wear deep royal purple dress, knee length, with a v-neck (does not show too much) and cap sleeves. I want to know is the dress color OK for April? Can I wear black strappy sandals with this dress? Do I have to go stockingless (I am very fair-skinned)? Can I wear a light black shawl to complete the outfit? Thank you for all your help.

Congratulations on losing so much weight. A royal purple dress should be beautiful in April. Black strappy shoes will call attention to your feet. Choose closed toe (e.g. black pumps) or sling back shoes and wear sheer neutral color stockings for a more polished look than bare legs. Draw attention to your face area with some beautiful earrings, and/or necklace, a flattering hair style and light make up. Try your outfit on ahead of time with your light black stole. If it looks good go for it! Optional stole colors might be a pink or light lavender.
