I have bought this dress for a wedding next week. Need a ling sleeved cardi/bolero type thing to go with.

What colour do you think? Navy/cream? Or something else?

Thanks

I am thinking cream, like this

But would appreciate any advice :)

Hmmm, not sure.

Not black though. .

What colour shoes have you got?

raininginbaltimore · 21/04/2012 21:47

Navy shoes. I already had them. They look fine with it. But navy cardi looks a bit wrong.

Argh. Might go back to the black dress. It is easier to accessorise!

Navy is the hardest colour to match up. Theres too many shades.

Cream is ironicly {sp} much easier to jazz up eg red shoes or snake skin patten.

Some shades of deep violet could work.

I would go more along a pink / yellow / orange type option. Would any of these do?

yellow bolero
pink bolero
angora peach shrug

Can link to some more if these are along the right lines.

Hmm I am a ginger, so can't really do yellow, pink or Orange.

I hate accesorising.

Ah - pink would look good, but, if you don't like it, then you don't like it. The Daily Fail had a nice cape recently (scroll down article, is about mid-way), but can't locate it on the DP website. Colour not ideal, but would the style suit you?

Fluffycloudland has a point about deep violet too. Will see what else is around.

Do a search on the Monsoon and FennWrightManson sites for shrug / bolero - they both have a range of colours and styles, so hopefully something might suit.
I am guessing the dress colour is darker in RL? From the link it looks as though black accessories would go well.

I think cream.
That dress is gorgeous. Almost makes me want to be pg again!

Thanks. It needs to be long sleeved, the wedding is this Saturday and I will freeze! Planning on wearing some thermals under it as it is!
