What Should I Wear for My High School Reunion?

So I have that twenty year high school reunion coming up this summer and supposedly there will be an evening that is semiformal.  As you might imagine, I have nothing to wear, unless you count yoga pants.  So I went to Eshakti to check out their cockatil dresses.  I did find one I liked - the Jet Illusion Yoke Jacquard dress.

Paul said it looks vintage when he was taking the pictures, and that is what I liked about it.  I also like that it makes my waist look slender, while covering up belly fat.  It is sleeveless, with a scoopneck. 

The bodice is princess seamed, with an embellished paillette illusion yoke.  I found it comfortable and a good fit.

I'm not sure whether this will be the dress for the reunion, but at least now I have Option A!  Eshakti carries a wide variety of women's fashions (from size 0 - 36W) and you can use custom measurements and change the lengths before you order. 

Disclaimer:  I received this dress from Eshakti for review purposes.  The opinions stated above are my own.

  7. The dress looks awesome on you, I think you should wear it to the reunion, very figure flattering and a class act.

  17. I love it! It looks like it was made just for you! And so cool that you got it for free! For some reason my graduating class are a bunch of snobs or something because we have not had a single reunion at all so I have no clue as to what people even wear to one.

  21. Not that an old guy knows anything about styles but it looks really nice. I went to several reunions and some of the women wore some ridiculous outfits. Wow, I just thought, my 40th will come up in a couple years, yuk.

  23. Lisa, you look gorgeous in that dress. But I think you are the kind of person who would look cute in a paper sack. No matter what you wear, you are going to be turning heads at your 20th reunion. :-)

    You look great, Lisa.

    I like the dress. But I think you'd look good in whatever you chose to wear.
    You surely couldn't have been any smaller then you are now! Where's the fat youre talking about?

    ReplyDelete
  26. Wow, I think it looks great! Definitely makes your waist look teeny tiny. But no matter what you wear, you'll knock 'em dead!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Very flattering colors and dress on you! Belly fat??? You are funny! You don't have any fat! Don't be so hard on yourself!

  28. I love the vintage feel it has. It's very flattering on you!

  29. I do like the vintage look as well. It is very classy. My 20 year reunion is this June. It is not looking very "up scale" so I do not think I'll be needing such a dress. I may not even go...lol.

  30. Very pretty, Lisa. As pretty as you are, anything you wear would be FABULOUS. I'm sure you'll choose just the perfect outfit..
    Hugs,

  33. Wowzer! This dress is perfection on you, style, fit and color. I say wear this one to the reunion!! You are such a knock-out anyway, but this dress is so perfect on you, Lisa!

  34. YOWSER! You look like a model! That dress is splendid on you!

  35. It's cute...but I think you gotta be a tad more flashy for the reunion. Folks tend to go all out for those things--you know, they want to look "good" and all that stuff. You look fabulous--flaunt it, pally!

  38. I really love this dress! Just classy enough with the sheer bodice and sweetheart neckline, but with a different kind of look for the rest of the dress. Not too fancy, but really pretty.
