I am going to my 15 year college reunion and can't decide what to wear.
At the last one 85% of the women were in dressed up jeans looks, so I don't need to get extremely dressed up. This is really just about seeing old friends and not about looking OTT(maybe unlike a high school reunion?)

I am thinking black jeans, OTK boots, and a cute sweater, but wanted other ideas and suggestions.

If it were my (casual) 15 year reunion, I'd wear skinny jeans, heels or ankle booties, a pretty cami (jeweled or embellished somehow), and a black blazer. Another thing I'd consider is a DVF wrap blouse over trouser jeans, a great necklace, and heels.

I, personally, would not wear OTK boots because they are very "statementy" and I wouldn't necessarily want to do that at a gathering where I'm mainly there to catch up and socialize. But everyone's style is different. Just my two cents!

i agree with KristyDarling in that i'd wear a cami/blazer instead of a sweater, and i'd definitely go with skinny jeans.. but i WOULD wear OTK boots, or ankle booties.

I was planning on black J Brand skinnies, black suede OTK boots, and this sweater:

A cute cami and blazer is really good idea-I might have to switch to that.

i do like that sweater, but blazers are totally "in" as well.. it really depends what you feel most comfortable/confident in :) no choice is the wrong choice if you are happy!

That is a beautiful sweater!! It may just be me, but it has a very casual look since it is draped, slouchy, and oversized. Whether or not you want to wear it to the reunion, you should get it!

The sweater would be great over a black T-shirt style dress with black tights and boots. Comfortable but with an edge.

That sweater is TDF. Totally hot!

Thanks! I got it and really like it. I think it looks stylish without looking like I'm trying too hard.
