This dress....and what else

Hi, I've bought this dress to wear to a wedding.

What colour shoes and bag and (most importantly to me!) what colour nail polish?

The dress description of blue with lime green is pretty much spot on. The colours are quite shiny as it is a jacquard/silky material.

Thanks Stylers.

I would go for cerise. The colour wheel options are

Analogous:lavender, fawn, cerise, or salmon pink.
Monochromatic: forest green or sage
Triad: fawn or forest green
Complementary: mauve, dusty rose, willow green

I'm sorry but if you wore cerise shoes with that I'd laugh.

BlushAt cerise
I'm all for a good colour and wore a teal ish coloured dress with cerise but I think the dress is too busy for that (like the dress though)
I'd pick out one of the greens and go for that
Purple may also be ok and not quite as statementy as cerise

Hey, don't blame me, blame the colour wheel.

Hi, not sure what the colour wheel is, but I'm afraid I have to question it's decision on cerise shoes! As others have said, the dress is a busy pattern, so a clashy accessory I think will look weird.

I thought it had to be a blue/green to match but was also wondering about nude (a bit boring?) or silver (given that the dress is quite shiny).

And green and pink

Just not with that dress Grin

Silver

Navy would look great, the dress is statement enough imo

mummylovescakes · 13/08/2013 10:39

I's actually go for something like this or this in green with a silver clutch bag

TheBeanAndTheBee · 13/08/2013 10:58

I'd go navy as well for accessories. What do you think about these galaxy nails

FauxFox · 13/08/2013 11:00

I'd go for nude - those green ones are horrid!

snowgal · 13/08/2013 11:17

I'd go classic navy and let the dress do the shouting, the Galaxy nails are amazing Bean Smile

I love navy and have a nice navy jacket but I thought a bit dull. Perhaps navy jacket (which will come off after the service) with navy clutch (already own one) and those lovely Ernesto Esposito shoes - thanks for that link.

The Galaxy nails are gorgeous but I think will be too much. I'm just going to go with clear nail varnish I think esp if toes are covered up so dont need to bother with toe nail varnish.
