I'm going to a semi-formal event and I have no idea what to wear as a jacket. I already picked out my dress (it's a blue-green halter dress that goes a little past my knees) and I've decided on black shoes, but my problem is I don't know what kind of jacket to wear. It's held on January 20th so it's going to be pretty cold. I was thinking of a black blazer but I don't want to be freezing that night. Any ideas?

a peacoat if you plan on taking it off before the dance or a nice black velvet jacket if you can find one.if you want to wear it during. Usually you can just wear the boys jacket if it gets cold.. and he's gentlemanly enough. I always wore my dates jacket without issue if I got cold.

Well, it depends on alot of things...
It's gonna be cold outside... does that mean the soiree will be outdoors or indoors? If you're planning on using the coat as PART of the look: DON'T wear one that is shorter than your dress!!! It's not classy.
If long coats are not your thing... don't go above 4 inches from the hem of your dress... UNLESS it is a cropped jacket that will be worn as part of the whole look... Actually the crop style sounds sexy with the dress style you've chosen... the jacket can be edwardian, pouffy, endless match...
Color? Blue-green is pretty versatile for the holidays, so black anything is a good choice... but you have concerns about the cold... SOooo... I say, as long as it's warm enough, long enough to keep you from freezing, and matching... honey, wear whatever the heck is comfotrable for you... hypothermia is never IN... good luck and happy partying!!!

nooooooo, dont do that, sorry but dont its a winter formal a black blazer come on u goin to a funeral, and black shoes with a blue green dress is a no no, u should have gotten some gold heels with some green stones or diamonds on them, or plain gold, and for sumthing to keep u warm u should wear those cute faux fur short coats that lie above the waist it would look so cute and elegant for a winter formal heres some pix i hope i helped have fun at the formal! **oh in the pic for the fur coat not that color u see or the dress just the idea of the fur coat and a white one would match beautifully with ur dress.

hope you live in a cold climate, cause I have the jacket for you! Real fur if you can afford it, and faux fur if you can't! Any color, blue, black, brown, winter white, eggshell, short, or mid length.

peacoats also look nice :]
i like blazers too though.
any of the two would work.
maybe if you had pictures of your dress we'd be better able to advise you.
just saying :]

I think peacoats are the best bet & longer coats like this one http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=FOREVER21&category%5Fname=Outerwear&product%5Fid=2033131338&Page=all
