Some of you may remember me posting about this dress that I ordered last week

www.nancymac.co.uk/collections/archive-sale/products/blanche-shift-dress-in-green-candy-floral-silk-cotton

Well, it arrived today and it is absolutely beautiful! I ordered a 12 and a 14, and the 12 fits perfectly. It's really well made, and the lining even holds me in in all the right places. Very pleased with it indeed! Now...shoes and bag suggestions please Smile

I was thinking of picking out the blue, but I'm not sure if that might be a bit twee? Plus I think if I went for cream there's half a chance I might wear them again one day. I can't do massive heels, but I definitely need some sort of heel...any ideas very welcome!

I'd go for blue/teal shoes. Would look fab!

It's lovely - I think either teals blue or there are some pink blush/nude leaves in there, you could pick up on with some pinky toned nude courts if you wanted to get some shoes you'd definitely wear again?

Yes I'm keeping the belt I think. Those Zara shoes are nice, but being 46 I fear they would not look funky one me, just frumpy. The darker bits are a kind of taupe/light brown colour. I'm thinking maybe something with a strap, kind of Mary Janey?

The Clark's ones?They are great but Im trying to keep costs down because I'll probably only wear them when I wear that dress. Mind you, if I find the perfect pair...hmmm

A bit random but I actually think fuschia hot pink shoes would look good!

I love the third ones, thanks Cactus. Not sure if they are a bit clumpy though? It's quite a delicate dress. We've got a Clark's outlet nearby, I might go on Saturday and see if there are any in stock there and try them on.

Not sure what size you are. My guess is that these will be too big. I have them and they'd be great with your dress. Not sure if you could track down another pair anywhere.

I'll lend you mine Smile
I think there may have been a pair of lightly used size 5s on ebay. There were from a few years ago unfortunately. I just knew they would be good.
