Greekgrrl: You are pretty spot-on on the kinds of pieces for separates look. I didn't read your comment under the link and clicked on it. I saw the price, it was like woahh!But, yes thankyou for the suggestion.
gee_ess: I am looking around in the cocktail dress/formal wear department and those pieces are exactly the ones I am looking out for and trying to find a right combo. The problem that I am having is with the top and with this being august, almost all tops that I have seen have too short or no sleeves. Its actually a challenge to find a top with the appropriate sleeve length. I am still looking, though, so hopefully.
Gusteau: I hope that I can find a balance between the extremes.
MaggieXi: That top is actually really cute. The neckline is great too. I would need either a blazer or a top with long sleeves for it to work. I am going to keep looking but thank you for the visual.
COBaby: I think/from what I have heard, our school is pretty laid back too but I am not too sure. Some of the dresses on the page are awesome but with maxi dresses, most of the ones I have come across while shopping have been too casual. I am still looking though.
Again, Thank you all for your tips. I am going to try looking for a nice pair of formal pants and a top to go with it or a formal-ish maxi dress of possible. I might end up wearing our regional clothing. I have a lot of options now and I think I can go shopping tommorow and actually have my eye out for pieces similar to the ones that have been posted here.
Just as an aside, if I do go for separates, would pastels be okay because I know a lot of people do black or red. I like pastels or maybe a nice purple. Or does the color not really matter?
