the dress

Please please please help with the shoes and accessories!!

I have bought it for a special party I am throwing in a few weeks time.

I am 34 and the dress is elegant, tho a little plain and grown up so i wanna go a little crazy with the shoes/ find a contrasting colour

I am rubbish with accessorising and only own a black and nude pair of heels

make me look stunning!

I would probably do gold accessories, just some simple heels and a big statement necklace.

Approximate budget? Shoe size (for the sales)?

Sorry for delay - shoe size 6 in heels budget for shoes and jewellery £100

I am particularly bad at necklaces, am quite broad shouldered and they only ever seem to draw focus to that :0( would love to wear one though

MrsCR I'm quite broad shouldered too and have come to accept that no necklaces look good on me. I always feel weird in them, even if I love them, iyswim. I just do big bracelets, pretty clutch bag, good shoes etc instead.

Hurah! So its not just me! I have never found one that suits - they just sit funny and never quite look right!

Bracelets it is then. Big is good!

I am so pleased with it euphemia, so happy I checked the style and beauty board that day!!

I couldn't find anything I liked, had even looked in HoF Oxford St. and not found anything so was well chuffed

Just need suggestions now for the finishing touches....Please!

i bought THAT dress too and after missing the courier a million times i finally got it yesterday - and it's lovely on.

i'm not sure what jewellery to wear with it either - i'm thinking silver. I have black high heeled very strappy sandals that will look nice with it.

I think big bracelet and earrings would be fab with it to be honest. Doesn't necessarily need a necklace
