I would absolutely wear a brown dress! Brown is one of the colors that looks best on me with my complexion/hair color/eye color, so I would absolutely wear it if I found something I liked. I am wearing dressy pants and a polo shirt tomorrow, because I have a hard time finding dresses that fit. I have also worn black skirt/top combos, white pants/pastel top combos, as well as "traditional" dresses- it depends on what I can find that fits.
