When in doubt, wear black… it’s what us New Yorkers do when we’re unsure about what to wear. A nice black cocktail dress and a stylish pair of black pumps (with at least a 2.5 inch heel) is a safe look for New York and works with all shapes and sizes (just make sure the dress hits you between your lower thigh and knee). Jazz it up with piece of colored jewelry (red, pink, turquoise ).  Black may be boring, but it’s a great option for NYC.

@gemma.. definitely check out the Mossimo Black and Merona lines at Target.. All very cute and under $40.. Also edressme.com is another great source for cute dresses, although most approach the $100 mark. You should also check out dELiAs.com, which has cute/stylish dresses for well under $100, should even less than $50.

Also shop the sales racks of your favorite department stores like Macys and Dillards, JCP, etc.. Since prom season is over, you can find some great semi-formal dresses on sale
