this one but blue is lighter and brighter. Am thinking a contrast colour? Can't be mail-order as needed this week so too late for online shopping ... but as you can see from my MNname have access to most shops round and about.

Oh, and if worst came to worst, could I wear some (not very noticeable) black peeptoes?

I would wear black, unless maybe in winter with opaques.

How about silver? Not shiny, maybe kind of matte. Or orange/coral if the blue is right.

FauxFox · 26/08/2012 19:16

I think black too - the pearls on the dress make it too busy to add another colour imo. If you want something a bit more exciting maybe navy/cream?

DoFliesHaveKnees · 26/08/2012 19:18

How about these ?

nomoreminibreaks · 26/08/2012 19:19

I'd go with nude peeptoes myself. Then again that's what I wear with everything! I don't think you can go wrong with them.

lilolilmanchester · 26/08/2012 19:24

ooh, loving both the next and new look shoes linked to - thanks.... although new look didn't have those in our local shop when I looked yesterday. Will see if I can find time to go further afield tomorrow.

Nomoreminibreaks - agree with nude peep toes, but haven't managed to find any I like, or are light enough

what bag, cover up and hair do are you going with?

lilolilmanchester · 26/08/2012 19:56

oh my, haven't got that far yet!! The wedding ceremony and do are in a hotel and we're staying over. So not planning on a cover up. Not much flexibility with my hair so it will just be "done". Don't do hats or fascinators. Bag... mmm depends on what I decide to do re shoes. Have got black peeptoes and black/blingy sandals, am ok for bags to go with both of these. Have also got silver sandals, but no matching bag. Tomorrow is my only shopping day before wedding, so will try out everything tomorrow and see what else I need. Very last minute I know...

You weren't thinking of matching were you Shock Wink

this and your black peeptoes would be vey stylish.

lilolilmanchester · 26/08/2012 21:28

ooh, love that bag Mrs Lettuce.... thank you, will try to find it tomorrow.

TOmorrow is my only shopping opportunity before the wedding, so if anyone else has any other ideas, would love to hear them

with black peeptoes again, though the first would also be lovely with silver sandals.

MrsLettuce · 26/08/2012 22:39

The old bad link tric - oh, cheaper here

lilolilmanchester · 27/08/2012 09:20

yup, really like those too MrsL ... wouldn't have thought of that snakeskin type pattern but think it would be very effective, esp if I wear black shoes.

OP posts:
MrsLettuce · 27/08/2012 09:25

Yup, very nice combo indeed and there seem to be a fair few variations on the theme about. Good luck today!

lilolilmanchester · 29/08/2012 20:03

got unexepected visitors, didn't make it to the shops - it will have to be what I've got already :-( but will look for one of those bags for next time I wear it.
