I'm going to a dinner party that requires semi-formal attire. What does semi-formal mean? Would a light pink chiffon dress be ok with a black sweater and black pumps? I was also going to wear a pearl necklace and earrings. I don't want to look underdressed so I need some help please!

It depends if there are any embellishments on the dress. If it's got some details such as beading or sequins on it, it might be suitable. I'd pair the pink w/a nude/tan strappy sandal & an off-white wrap instead of black--the contrast might be too stark.
Think of the 2001 Emmy's when everyone dressed "down" after the WTC attacks. Kind of a chic cocktail party.
Here are some of my favorite looks:

I'll find some wraps & bags & post later. HTH!

You could always opt to do tuxedo pants like these: w/a top like this: w/diamond or pearl studs (skip the necklace & pair w/a pair of shoes like these: or

Bags are tough, but opt for a simple clutch or one that's a true vintage or vintage-inspired. Hit the thrift stores of authentic beaded clutches for dirt cheap.

Good Luck!
Wow, Gail! Excellent repsonse! Thank you very much for taking the time to post this information. I am positive that Reija will consider it very useful and will soon reply to ya
Thanks again

Here is a picture of the dress. What do you girls think? I also saw a pink shawl or muffler whatever they call it (I don't know much about fashion) online and I just ordered it. Here is a picture of the muffler.
Reija, that's perfect. I'd still go w/a softer shoe--nude, champagne, silver or gold--b/c if you were to take off the wrap, it might look a bit harsh.
As for the jewels, either wear a necklace or earrings, but not both. It all depends on the way you wear your hair. I'd personally go w/chandelier earrings b/c the ribbon is so close to your neckline (looks like it would hit right @ the bustline). Here's an example: w/an evening bag similar to this:
I know it's kind a retro, but it'll last for years.
Good point Gail! I think a necklace that hangs will be too much against the high ribbon. That dress is so pretty Reija! I'm sure it'll look great! And I second the lighter colored shoes too... it's such a soft pink that black would probably stand out too much against it.... and if you are fair skinned, even more so.
