Can anyone accessorise this dress for me, please?

[ToffeeWhirl]

Am going away for a rare child-free night with DH next weekend and was planning to wear this for dinner in the evening. No idea what to wear with it. I have black heels and a black clutch bag, but am not sure they go. Any ideas much appreciated.

You've not linked Toffee..

Will try again.

This is the dress.

Thanks, Happy. Can't believe I did that .

We all do it Toffee

I really love that dress Black would be ok (black and navy is verryyy Parisienne ) but personally I'd opt for some nude killer heels and a navy, nude or cream bag.

What about what they show it with? Looks good to me
Or do you have a (ubiquitous but useful) man's style black jacket?

Glad you like it . I wore it on New Year's Eve with black heels and a black bag - didn't know I was being Parisienne . I'd like to go for a different look this time, so I could look into nude accessories, but I don't want to look like I'm modelling my look on Kate Middleton. I do have some red heels that I love - would red accessories go with it too?

Perry - I love that coat, but I haven't even bothered to look it up as I know it will be out of my price range. I suspect the shoes probably are too, but I could look for similar, I suppose...

No, I don't have a black jacket. I do have a blue velvet one, but I'm not sure it would go. It's more casual, jeanswear.

Oh god no, not Kate Middleton, hotter than that like these if you can do really high.. Not sure what your style is or if you like platforms.. Red would be ok but I'm not a huge fan of red/navy combo...

Beautiful bag and shoes..

That's my price range! I like heels, but can't cope with them that high. I'll have a look for similar. Thank you so much. Have to go and cook now - this is far more interesting - but will be back later.

What is wrong with red/navy combo? When I suggested it to a friend at New Year, she was against it too, but I don't know why. Am I committing a fashion faux pas ?

No, def not a faux pas, just personal taste. I just find it a bit cliche, a bit nautical and I think colours that complement more / clash less are classier and more sophisticated...

Those are nice, Happy. I do love anything sparkly. Not sure about the peep toes, though. I couldn't wear tights then, could I? Am feeling self conscious about my legs these days if I go bare legged (they are slim, but I have some veins on them. Could use concealer, I suppose ).

Ps bear in mind that they won't feel as high as they look due to platform..

Ah, OK. I definitely want to go for the classy, sophisticated look...

Right, am going to throw some food together and then pop back in a min.

I like tights and peep-ties but only black and coloured tights (funky).. You'll be able to get closed toe nude shoes no probs, I'll have a look

Here and these which aren't my taste but you may like if you prefer lower heels..

Oh, and gold or bronze shoes would look amazing too!

Here and here and here

Thanks for all those links, Happy. I am struggling not to like the M&S shoes as I tend not to like their stuff and it's threatening to find that I quite like these, albeit in a 'safe' way . I really like those Next glittery gold shoes and the Lipsey ones, but am not sure if they fit the 'classy, sophisticated' look... Also, I will probably fall off the latter pair . Am tempted though.

You have given me some great ideas. Thank you so much.

No probs
