I really like it. Love the colour combo of green and pink. Pink toenails maybe?

mysteryfairy · 31/05/2014 15:30

I think it looks lovely - I love pink and green together. I think you need some nice polish on your toes and it might be hard to choose a colour given that the colour of your sandals is the most obvious one to go for - maybe a nude colour?

I hate hats personally and would only wear one under extreme duress but I do think the one you've chosen is good with the rest of the outfit.

BuzzardBird · 31/05/2014 15:35

Looks lovely

MissisBee · 31/05/2014 15:44

Thanks. I hadn't thought of toenails - good point. If I was going for pink nails, should I match the shade or go a bit paler?
I wasn't originally going to get a hat, but spotted this one and thought it was nice. What clinched it was, when I was trying it on, a complete stranger came over to tell me it looked nice. Couldn't say no after that!

I think it looks lovely, but maybe take one pink accent down a bit? How about nude/neutral heels?

MissisBee · 31/05/2014 16:07

Thanks panda I have a pair of nude shoes I could try with it to compare. I also have a pair of ivory shoes (that I bought for my own wedding, then never used and haven't got round to selling) but I wonder if that would look to bridal?

You definitely need to reduce the amount of pink, it's too matchy, matchy. Can you remove the belt? Different colour handbag maybe?

sisterofmercy · 31/05/2014 16:15

That looks fantastic, one of my fave colour combos. I love the hat.

emotionsecho · 31/05/2014 16:17

I think you look lovely, but agree with a couple of others could you match the shoes or handbag to the shrug? Could we see it with different shoes or bag to compare, please Smile

travailtotravel · 31/05/2014 16:20

I like the pink shoes!
I love colour fullstop - so I'd not listen to me when i suggest green toenails - I do it often and it does look fab, but might not be quite the look you were going for :-)

dexter73 · 31/05/2014 16:21

I like the matchiness (?) of the outfit.

MissisBee · 31/05/2014 16:23

Off to try with some other shoes and will update shortly

I like it. Where is the frock from?

Does the belt thread through the dress? i'd actuslly like to see a bit more of it.

WipsGlitter · 31/05/2014 16:28

I agree it's a bit matchy. Can you take the belt off or tie it another way? I'd get rid of the necklace and the shoes looks bit mumsy. The length is maybe a wee bit frumpy.

But is a lovely dress! And hat!!

MissisBee · 31/05/2014 16:36

So, nude shoes

I prefer the paler shoes, it seems to draw attention up towards your face instead of your feet. I can't make the photos big enough to see if ivory or nude looks better.
Lovely outfit Grin.

dexter73 · 31/05/2014 16:44

The pink shoes look the best by far.

spiderbabymum · 31/05/2014 16:44

I think you look lovely . Perfect for a wedding .
But I must say my first thought is I would lose the pink ....all of it .
I think it would be more elegant

Bakersbum · 31/05/2014 16:49

You look lovely. Nude shoes I think though.

emotionsecho · 31/05/2014 16:53

I like it with either the nude or ivory shoes (not very helful I know!) Do you have a nude clutch and you could trial it with the pink shoes, just because I love the pink shoes!!!

That way the pink accent will be up and down, iyswim, and the nude bit on the outside, shrug and bag.

Probaly not making sense!

You do look lovely in that dress and hat though, very elegant and summery, perfect for a wedding.

DuchessFanny · 31/05/2014 16:53

I liked it with the nude shoes, it looked more together imo.
Love the hat !

Openup41 · 31/05/2014 16:54

The nude shoes compliment the outfit far more than the pink.

Thurlow · 31/05/2014 16:55

Nude shoes are better, they make the odd bits of pink pop more.

The dress is lovely though, where is it from?!
