Does this sound okay to you?

For a christmas dinner dance with school mums, (it is also fundraising event for autism), I am planning to wear a rather sober long sleeved skater-shaped knee-length navy dress. To jazz it up a bit I am wearing patent burgundy block heel court shoes and I thought I would perhaps wear net-type burgundy tights. Does this sound okay? No actually, the net thing sounds minging, doesn't it? What tights should I wear? I was then thinking a burgundy skinny belt. Would this be too matchy matchy? Gold maybe? I am 41 by the way. Please help me! Confused

No to net tights because they have never lost their lady of the night connotations for me. Burgundy opaques would be nice though, and how about an animal print belt?

That sounds fantastic actually Amber. Should I bother with a handbag? What about jewelry?

It sounds a bit dull, do you have snazzy jewellery to liven it up a bit ?

Mosman no, I don't have anything really. What did you have in mind? I'm petite so I usually stay away from big statement pieces.

Maybe a short necklace with a toning colour just to add some interest ?
Or long earings, not both and not matching

What is a toning colour? Blush Would you link me to something specific please Mosman?
