Beautiful bright green dress - what colour everything else?!

[AngryGnome]

I have just got a gorgeous bright green <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=dorothy+perkins+green+dress&hl=en&sa=X&biw=1280&bih=603&tbm=isch&prmd=imvnso&tbnid=FkRD2jsh9V-a4M:&imgrefurl=fashion-mommy.com/2011/08/16/dorothy-perkins-new-season-all-about-the-dress/&docid=ms6VTcvKQhyHVM&imgurl=fashion-mommy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/green-fitted-dress.jpg&w=480&h=640&ei=1XHJTsnRJcry8QPC-6FZ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=866&vpy=199&dur=4015&hovh=259&hovw=194&tx=94&ty=123&sig=107844536132879313824&page=2&tbnh=112&tbnw=84&start=29&ndsp=32&ved=1t:429,r:6,s:29" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">dress that I love (have strawberry blonde hair, so looks good with my colouring I think). But what colour everything else do I need? Black tights seem a no-no, but natural perhaps a little dull? Would navy work? And boots or heels? And jewellery? Also, still a little bingo-of-wing, and so could really do with some kind of wrap/cardigan? Or is that uber-mumsy and should I just go arms akimbo and not wave to the waiter .

Am adrift in postbaby overweight fashion desert and don't know how to dress self anymore! Please help!

Well I love green and blue, it's one of my favourite colour combinations. I would actually put the cobalt blue blazer and the blue platforms with that dress. With toning green tights. But that may well be too much colour for most people.

Sorry, should have said, the Dotty P blazer and shoes that are illustrated on the blog you linked to.

Navy

Leopard print.

purple

you can also go with brown, always looks great with green. More foresty, but it tones the green without making eyes hurt.

hot pink blazer ?

aubergine ?

Cobalt blue ?

I like green with grey

Purple

Gorgeous dress! What's the fabric? For evening i'd go with strappy heels, maybe silver? Or cobalt blue would look amazing!

I have that dress and it looks great with nude tights and heels and beige jacket. It's more vibrant than it looks like on the photo, so too strong colours would be overpowering.

Thanks everyone - I think I am leaning towards putting it with something blue. Leopard print would be fab though (have leopard print pashmina I could wear when outside then take off when I get inside?)
Hazlenutt - think I will give it a go with the nude tights after all!
Now lets just hope I don't end up finding mashed banana/yoghurt smeared on it when I get to the restaurant!

kurt geiiger and reiss have lovely cobalt blue heels atm - there was a KG code on here recently - I have one on email I think if you can t locate it
