I haven't had much look finding a navy cardi, will the french navy colour of the cardi look daft with the dress?

I think it will look fine. Not my first choice, as you say a navy card would be better, but it will still look good I think

TheEternalHopeful · 03/05/2012 22:33

Or, what other colour cardi could I wear with it? Is it navy or nothing?

I would personally go with a totally bright peachy red, or just red as a contrast. It I think any bright colour would be ok, IMHO navy is a bit boring. Sorry.

Red cardi or beige / neutral colour would look good. Or white, or I love orange with navy, or even line green.

I think no

I wavered and didn't get the cardi, I will have a look around for a red one or something.

Does a navy dress need to be with navy or nude tights, is black a total no-no?

I have navy or black shoes that would go, if that helps.

What kind of a coat would you wear with a dress like that if you were just wearing it in the day with flat pumps?

I'm trying to learn how to dress better and ditch the jeans and I don't have a clue about it, can you tell?!

Denim jacket always good to turn a dress into a casual day look. Love it with a big scarf if it's cold.

Yellow, coral, red, lime green would all be nice.

Look at. Woolovers for carries of all colours including navy. You'll have to Google, my hands are full of baby!

black tights is a no with a navy dress IMO, but with that dress I would say whether you wore tights would depend on what you had on your feet. With flats I would say no tights, but with boots you could get away with opaques

FunnysInLaJardin · 04/05/2012 12:08

oh and I would wear a spring mac with that dress for the day
