Am going to a fortieth birthday party and want to look fab. Have really struggled to find a dress that fits well (am 5 '2, size 8-10) and fits the dress code and season (it's in 2 weeks). The colour of this suits me well and the style is quite forgiving but I don't know how to accessorise it at all. I want to look lovely but not mutton dressed as lamb. Please help me!
(other dress suggestions welcome but note my short stature!)
Thanks!

anyone?....

hmmm. no-one out there?

Stunning dress. I am very jealous. Not sure what you could accessorise with it though sorry

Gold too obvious?

bag 1

bag 2

cuff 1

cuff 2

cuff 3

too matchy? or not quite a match and thus wrong

Prob miles off, but it might encourage other, better ideas

Lovely dress. I would definitely go with a gold (or rose gold) cuff like the 1st one sirtoffee linked with, also a chunky gold watch in the style of Michael Kors one.

Not sure I would add gold bag to the gold jewellery....perhaps something a little less blingy...and what are you thinking re shoes? Gold shoes (but not matching bag) could look good...also what is budget?

this is a fantastic and very unusual bag, could go with loads of outfits, inlcuding that dress, what do you think? Too out there?

Similar idea, possibly better colours here?

Thoughts on these sandals?

Oh wow! Sorry for delay - had thought no replies! these are great suggestions, thank you. Love the shoes and love, love the watch - but not sure can justify the watch. (Like the rose gold with it, good idea.) However, the kimono clutch bags are gorgeous -just the sort of thing am after.

Not sure if maybe a simple cuff bracelet (cuff 3?) or perhaps a simple but statement necklace - but not sure what would work with that neckline? I quite like bold pieces - not massive but not tiny dainty filigree either. Any suggestions?

Ok - couldn't wear with gold bracelet but what about this?

too big?

What do you think about gold dangly earrings rather than a necklace that might fight a bit with the ruched neckline of the dress IYKWIM?

Ps...without trying to be too bad an influence, you could wear the watch every day, it would end up being best value part of any of the outfit !

Ah, Sleep.. you may yet persuade me on the watch. Having tried the dress on again, I think you may be right re. the necklace. There is only a 10-15cm 'drop' from top of breast bone to dress neckline so would have to be something v simple, if at all. Will have to look for earrings now...!

I loved the ones you linked btw, just probably a bit much for the dress

Yes, Probably getting carried away! I have a lovely long thick rope know type necklace that is v simple and chunky which actually works really well with the dress as goes below the dress neckline and is v simple- but it is silver. And would then need to re-think everything else. PLus, I think the rose gold looks better. Sigh.
