I'm wearing a Boden linen dress and Next tan wedges to a school reunion next month. I'd really appreciate some advice regarding jewellery to wear with it. This is the same dress but mine is a darkish delphinium colour:-

I normally love really big, bold, bright necklaces but not sure how suitable they'd be with this neckline? There's lovely detail and buttons there - would it look to busy?

Many thanks.

I think a big chunky necklace would swamp the neckline. Maybe go for a light cotton scarf instead in a bright colour?

I think you're right, Tulpe. I'll experiment with scarves!

I a Boden top with same neckline and very very similar colour, almost turquoise blue? Lovely colour, much admired whenever I wear it.
No necklace though, too much detail otherwise. I just wear some large bronzy coloured earrings, that's all in needs, perhaps a bracelet to match the earrings if you wanted.

Oh, thanks, MG. I'll investigate the earrings / bracelet combo, too. Thanks to you all for taking the time to reply, it's much appreciated. x
