As in shoes, jacket (think I'll need something given time of year) bag, nail colour...

Family do, daytime. Don't really want to go with black or metallic.

Going with this
or this

Have both, leaning to first one though...

While we are at it, more options perhpas, but would you put what with pearl grey - this looks very flattering on btw and nice quality (unusally for asos own brand I find)

pale grey

Ooh, I love your dresses. Personally I would probably wear a cardi. I have a navy one or silver grey one which I would try. Not really any advice but I agree a black jacket may look too cooperate.

Ha, that first model looks so photoshopped!

navy blue, grey or maybe cream - or dare I say it a touch of leopard print Grin

I had a dress last year that had some green in it do I went with a green cardi, the combo was v pleasing and made a difference from the usual red or pink that I would normally have worn with grey. Not sure about red, except maybe grey??

Agree leopard shoes.

sedgieloo · 14/03/2012 19:48

thanks for the ideas!!

I like the idea of the tuxedo jacket, do you mean like this

I think I like the idea of the leopard shoes too although I've never worn anything like that I'll have a look though...

Yes - Zara do some great blazers and tuxedos at the moment - they're a great way to instantly make you look a little more dressed up. I swear by mine, much nicer than all my mishapen cardigans!

I've got that tuxedo jacket from Zara, just got it last week. It's lovely, - fabric, fit and colour are gorgeous.

mrsebojones · 15/03/2012 18:12

Leopard print shoes or nude shoes
Cream cropped cardigan?

MrsGuyOfGisbourne · 15/03/2012 18:24

nude shoes, like wot I am wearing now with my red pencil dress... would not put black with red.
