Definitely not #3. The skirt would be too formal.
How big is the pattern in #1? Is it mostly black, or with lots of off-white in it? Black shoes might look better with it, to keep things from being too busy.

It's mostly black--the pattern is not all that busy.

A dressy little black sweater or bolero, with a few sparkles on it might jazz it up.
I would probably be heading to Ross to see if there was something fun on sale with just a little sparkle to it.2016 Specialized Ruby Comp disc - Ruby Expert ti 155

Try googling images for "cocktail attire" for more ideas. You can be appropriate in the simpler end of the spectrum- some will be extreme, but it might give you more ideas...

That's a thought...maybe I ought to head over to Marshall's (we don't have Ross here but from what I've heard it's a similar kind of store). Originally Posted by azfiddle

Just got back from Marshall's...what a waste of time. Didn't find anything that was any better than what I have, which was probably just as well since I'd rather just use something I have if possible anyway. I guess if my friend thinks the options I have aren't appropriate we'll be shopping tomorrow afternoon
. What I'd like to know is, who comes up with the ideas for some of the designs of clothes I was seeing in that store? Brilliant minds, I'm sure 
. You have to search to find something that is functional in any way, shape or form (aside from the activewear section). Some of the stuff was just ridiculous, like sleeveless sweater dresses (what's the point?), dresses that are so narrow at the hem that one can't even walk normally in them, cardigans and ponchos that are so sheer or loosely knitted (in other words lots of holes--think Swiss cheese) that you'd freeze your derriere off, etc. Can you tell I left the store in disgust?
