Ok Fascinator is out so now I need to look for small hat type one
My dress is plain pink pencil style so I was going to go with black patent shoes and lace print bag from warehouse. I am tall already so don't need extra height really.
I could also go for nude shoe ect but not sure that would go with bright pink dress?

more 'hat-inator' than full on hat?

sequin pillbox
saucer

this little pill box would be wonderful, but it's not black - dare you?

and yes, black shoes rather than nude.

Looked at those thanks I think I like the pill pox net black one and I do actually like the coloured one u dared too but I am worried I'll look like a rainbow because dress is so pink.

Oh no I prefer the J conran saucer feather one which is bigger. Good price too thanks!
Do you have to put hair up with them as I'm bit rubbish at doing myself and no time for hairdressers?Have got curl iron to do ends of hair though.

Mmm, I think black would be rather harsh against that shade of pink, it's too soft to take it - grey would be fantastic

love this but the first is probably best for you

nude shoes would work, or grey or silver. I like the bag but not with the dress. Will have a look later.

ProcrastinationAteMyMorning · 01/07/2012 19:15

so, how about a grey hat, dark grey shoes and a splash of colour from the bag - purple
teal
floral
purple

Or, if you rather go more subdued maybe
snake

cream

Great thanks grey hat and I like the rose print bag the best as the dresses plain. Do you think I can still go for nude shoe with those to save some money?

OP posts:
ProcrastinationAteMyMorning · 01/07/2012 19:55

You could wear the nude shoes, of course. But with the nudes and the floral bag I think you'd need to go with a cream/ivory/white hat - the grey would look random. Maybe this?

The nudes shoes would work with the grey hat if you use a greyish or silvery bag. The snake one would be fabulous. Very classy.

Otherwise maybe
beaded

beaded
beaded again - this is the one I was looking for

ProcrastinationAteMyMorning · 01/07/2012 20:02

cream hat
and again

If you want to go with the nudes I'd say the grey hat and the snake bag or the last dune beaded bag would be nicest. Better than the floral bag and a cream hat by a mile.

flowwithit · 01/07/2012 20:03

You are brilliant thank you for all that!Smile going with the snake as I will defiantly use that again. Feeling much more confident nowWink
