Purple dress - what to wear with it?

[onadarkcloud]

I bought this today from Oasis to go to a christening next week but I have no idea what to wear with it.
Is there an alternative to black heels, thinking purple shoes would over do it?

Depends on your skin tone- bronze, nude or animal print, or funk it up with bright pink or olive green and 1 other matching accessory?

Take a look at net-a-porter.com/product/161697 timeless style and colour for this season and beyond. High street will have less pricey alternatives and matching accessories should be easy to find.

I wear a lot of purple and like wearing metallics with it (gold or silver both go nicely). Green/teal makes the whole outfit more 'funky' but that's probably not what you're aiming for? Someone linked to these suede grey shoes which I thought were very nice and there's a 20% discount code knocking around.

Ooooh those ones on netaporter look lovely, I like the affordable Clarks ones but I have non existent ankles and from past experience T-bar shoes just don't fit. I am going on a shoe hunt tomorrow so it has given me an idea of what to look for. Thanks!
