I would go with a nice long-sleeved dress (but not floor length, as I know you're petite) and slightly more closed-in shoes. And then I'd expect to be a little bit chilly.

How about something like one of these:

One of my friends wore something like this with black tights and black heels this weekend and it looked really cute and dressy:

I 2nd this. I like these types of dresses w/ opaque black tights and patent leather shoes. These two are my favorites.

if you get cold, you can throw on this: wink

I really like those dresses, but can't pull off the style

. I think I may just have to suffer and be cold, because alot of the stuff out there with a longer sleeve is that trapeze sort of shape

. Unfortunately it always looks either cutesy or pregnant on me.

Could this maybe work ...? Possibly with tights? And could probably be worn again through the year with a strappy sandal?

Or this one?

I think that will work. I didn't necessarily mean trapeze-just the overall feel. Jersey/silky dresses with tights. My friend wore a subtle empire waist one recently w/ tights and pumps and it looked great.

I like the first one you posted and almost posted it, but wasn't sure about the no/short sleeves. I think it would be great with black tights, but also cute with strappy heels.

So, I hoofed it to the nearest Nordstrom to find this:

Very chic in person and well lined, but they only had a size 8 (and only a 12 online). I tried on the 8 anyway and it was just a little big, so the SA did a search for me and is having the correct size sent! And, it's only $48 in the store, instead of $98 online! Wheeeeeeeee! Will post pics when it arrives - I

it.

Very nice choice. I think it will work with tights and be usable again in warmer weather.
