I'm not fashion-savvy. I wear jeans every day.
Tomorrow night, S.O. and I are going out to eat, then to see Phantom of the Opera. The restaurant is ... not casual, not fine dining.
It's going to be in the low 50s, and raining.
I have a grey cowl neck sweater dress, a basic black skirt, etc.
I'm open to buying something new but not spending a lot (under $100).

Do you have an H & M near you??...
IMHO, they're fantastic for stuff like this!
You could pick up a dress and some accessories and still come in way under budget. Perfect if it's not something you're going to wear a lot.

here are a couple that might make sense:
shirt dress:
www.hm.com/us/product/24192?article=24192-B
dressier dress:
www.hm.com/us/product/25113?article=25113-A
dressy shirt dress:
www.hm.com/us/product/26263?article=26263-A
jersey dress:
www.hm.com/us/product/19246?article=19246-A
they're appropriate without being too dressy, I think...

I think your cowl neck sweater dress would be great, with black booties and nude tights. Maybe pick up some new statement earrings and bracelet to go with?

I vote for something like this:
www.hm.com/us/product/27569?article=27569-A
IMO it's great for both dinner and the theater.

I think your gray dress will work just fine. I'd pair it with black tights and boots.

Not a great quality pic, but here's the dress I bought.
O...k... it's not letting me attack the pic. Sorry!

Thanks! Aside from the torrential rain, it was a fun night.
