running with scissors

Currently in love with long, flowy materials. I finally got my hands on a black, long-sleeved maxi dress, very similar to Maysaa's but the thing is, I don't know where to wear it to! I mean, on a regular outing, wearing that would be a bit funny considering the normal occasion. I've been experimenting with it to make it look less formal and polished; donning it with a denim vest, espadrilles, flats and they still look "too nice" to be worn to the mall! Now I can either, a) just wear it without thinking too much or b) experiment harder!
