proper attire for 50 year old woman to give public presentations

Question

I spend several weeks a year giving presentations to the general public (usually families) in several Chinese cities.  Most of the female attendees wear dresses, but I am overweight and difficult to fit in dresses.  Are black dress slacks with very nice statement jackets okay for presentations?  I've read that larger jewelry is not appropriate, but I would like wear larger necklaces.  Also, should I avoid wearing white or any other particular colors?  Thanks so much for your help!

Jenny, giving public presentations sounds like a formal occassion. So I think you might wear dark color clothes. They look formal. If I were you, I wouldn't wear larger necklaces because they would attract much attention. The audience may not focus on your presentation.
