What shall I wear??

Ok - It's not a wedding...!! (sorry!!)
I am going to my boyfriends parents 50th Wedding Anniversary lunch - it's at quite a posh hotel, but it's an intimate lunch (for about 30) rather than an evening do.

I've only met the parents once before.

What shall I wear????????
I don't want to be too dressy and stand out - but also don't want it to look as though I haven't made an effort....

I also have a bit of an issue in that I've hurt my leg - so I am limping a bit, so gonna look ungraceful anyway....!!!
I don't know if I can wear trousers for this? Would a skirt/dress be more acceptable??

oh - and it's due to snow too - joy!!!
Why does nobody say Thank You anymore??:mad:

    What would you wear if it was a lunch for your parent's Golden Wedding?

    I think I have decided - a black dress with a white ribbon belt and a white cardi.
    So it looks as though I've made an effort (i.e. got my legs out!!) but it's not too dressy.

    My parents and his parents are completely different creatures - wish me luck!!

    Sounds good. Although if it is snowing I'd recommend some black tights (maybe with a little pattern). Oh and some low heels (after all, think of your poor limp).
