Can I wear this to a black-tie optional, Sunday night wedding in May?

I just bought this suit to wear to a christening, and I don't want to buy a new outfit for the wedding.

If I dress it up with accessories (slightly sparkly earrings, higher heeled shoes) will it be ok? Please be honest!

Edited to add I would wear a silk shell, not a collared blouse.

Macy's is supposed to have a huge sale this week. Why don't you try there.

I agree. I would wear a dress. But if you absolutely don't want to spend the money, then get a fancier top for the pantsuit. You might be surprised at the deals you can get on a long dress. Try JC Penny. They have a 'formal' section that's not too outrageously priced.

I tend to agree with the rest - great suit, but not quite appropriate for a BTO wedding....

L&T is having some great sales, as is Macy's...

I have to agree w/the majority. I would definitely wear a dress.
As someone suggested, the Lord and Taylor clearance center on Hempstead Tpke, you could find dresses that were originally $200 for like $30. You just have to look, I always get the best deals there.

Good Luck
