Can you help me accessorise this dress for a wedding - in less than a month?!?

I finally found a dress I like phew :)

Now for accessories! Confused

I'm thinking black tights, black court shoes and a jacket.

Am I on the right track?

Can you point me in the right direction - with a tight budget!

Thanks! :)

Black is very safe and it would work but how about adding a cream jacket/blazer or a (faux) fur shrug?

Suddengeekgirl · 19/01/2014 18:30

Oh maybe cream - I'm a SAHM so was hoping for so etching I could wear again. Cream might be a bit limiting.... Confused
Not keen on fur though.

Have you spotted any cream blazers that would be suitable?

I think cream or gold would be preferable to black, I think sometimes black can kill other colours, which would be a shame with such a lovely blue.

I'm struggling to find anything online that isn't navy or black and has a waist. I don't think it'd look right with a loose style iykwim, I think it needs a button to nip it in at the waist - to balance the width of the tulip skirt.

Any ideas where to look?

That is a LOVELY dress. I'm jealous Grin

What about mustard?! Properly go for the spring colours...?

Suddengeekgirl · 19/01/2014 20:31

I don't like mustard. Sorry!

Would pink heels be mad? here

I think that shade of blue would look lovely with a bright fuchsia pink wrap and shoes.

Hessy · 19/01/2014 20:40

Love em! Go for it Grin

Suddengeekgirl · 19/01/2014 20:41

I hadn't thought of a wrap - I'd just assumed I'd be cold and would want a jacket.

Where do I look for a wrap?

Lovely dress Smile

something raspberry?

Suddengeekgirl · 19/01/2014 20:57

I have ordered the pink shoes - they are making me :) already so hope they fit. (Might have to fight 2.5yo dd for them!)

Raspberry is good chish
Off to look for something pink, raspberry or maybe purple?

All links welcome! :)
