The google images of slebs show mainly bare necks with a strapless LBD.

But it all looks a bit minimal for me.

So, should I start looking for a necklace and if so, what type?

Chunky and colourful? Or strands of lots of beads? Or something else?

Big earrings?

style and beauty .. I will bow to your wisdom. I will try to find an image of a similar dress.

Yes, earrings and no necklace.

Will you be wearing your hair up or down?
sometimes just a pair of longer/chandelier earrings is all you need
Or what about something like this :

Thanks! I do like the idea of some outrageous earrings.

I just want to channel my inner Pat Butcher.

Dangly or hoops do you think?

Earrings and no necklace. What are you doing with your hair?

tedmundo · 08/07/2013 20:52

Those are stunning suse.

I am hoping to master the fishtail plait in time. Unless I get talked down about this? My 12yr old niece pulled a face when I told her that!

Is your hair quite long? so that the plait will fall over your shoulder?
If so, I would def go with just a pair of chandelier earrings and no necklace!
I know, I love that type on collar necklace!

MrsLettuce · 08/07/2013 20:55

Earrings depends on the dress and the occasion TBH, could you link? Hair too.

tedmundo · 08/07/2013 21:01

Hmm, that is a good question. More mid length .. Collarbone length.

If the fishtail plait fails, will just have it down.

I think some statement earrings, no necklace and perhaps a bold cuff bracelet.

Have seen something recently it may be on Pinterest detailing all types of neckline and what type if necklace suits it, will try to find it.

tedmundo · 08/07/2013 21:06

I got the dress second hand so no direct web link.

This is the closest I can find to it.

Occasion is a smart dress 40th party.

I want to look good. First proper night out since dc3.

If I was wearing that dress I would wear my hair down and just diamond stud earrings, and then a nice bracelet.

The ponytail/necklace look in that picture is very little girl I think.
