Thanks for all the feedback, really interesting seeing it through others' eyes. I got the dress in Next a few 7 years ago (originally for my graduation). The belt bit is attached inside. That was what attracted me to it in the first place.
I think I like the nude shoes more than the ivory, and probably more than the pink. If I went for them, should I leave the bag alone, maybe try to get a green one?

For a wedding, I think the all-pink accessories incl shoes is fine. Of the paler shoes, the nude ones are my favourite, but that may be cos I don't like ankle straps.

emotionsecho · 31/05/2014 17:03

On second thoughts I think I do prefer it with the nude shoes, as others have said the odd bits of pink stand out better and the eye is drawn to your face and hat. I would keep the pink bag as it complements the hat and belt and you have the nude colour in the shrug and shoes.

Once again, great choice of outfit, you look lovely and no-one will be wearing anything similar!

LynetteScavo · 31/05/2014 17:05

I like the nude shoes best, but I think that's because they are closed toe.

MaryMotherOfCheeses · 31/05/2014 17:14

Well, I'd go for the pink ones.

The nude ones are all very tasteful but a bit boring Grin

BellaVita · 31/05/2014 17:16

I like the nude shoes best too.

baby Grin Not possible I'm afraid, it only cones out in the middle!
Quite a spilt decision on the shoes. I might wait to see what the weather is on the day (closed toes = I could wear tights?)

I like the pink sandals best... It's a wedding and normal rules re matchiness therefore don't apply.

SuburbanCrofter · 31/05/2014 18:08

I like it with the pink shoes, but then I am obsessed with colour Smile

orchidella · 31/05/2014 18:18

Lovely outfit - very individual. I like it with the pink shoes too. I am similarly obsessed with colour! I think with the nude shoes the pink clutch and belt looks a bit glaring.

SconeRhymesWithGone · 31/05/2014 18:26

I love it with the pink shoes; they are very strappy so not too much pink there.

LadyMud · 31/05/2014 19:08

Your outfit is lovely, and for a wedding, the pink shoes are perfect. However, the belt looks a bit weird. Could you tie it into a bow? Or cut it shorter? The colour is fine, but the "dangliness" not so much.

cherryhealey · 31/05/2014 19:10

Love the pink shoes and dress and the belt.
Not sure re the shrug/cardi possible pink pashima or wrap?
Dress gorgeous .

Mynewone · 31/05/2014 19:13

Lovely the nude shoes look the best IMO

felinesad · 31/05/2014 19:15

OMG!!! I wore this exact same outfit (bar the hat) to my best friend's wedding a couple of years ago so I think it's perfect (and I did get a lot of compliments).

Cocolepew · 31/05/2014 19:16

Pink shoes, are the best.
I'm not mad on your cardi colour, it's a bit boring compared to the rest of the outfit, which is lovely.

whereisshe · 31/05/2014 19:19

Definitely nude shoes. Otherwise you're drawing people's eyes down and up which stops them from seeing you. I'd do the belt in a bow to match the hat a bit (and less phallic as a pp pointed out!) but other than that I think it's a lovely outfit.

SinglePringle · 31/05/2014 19:25

Nude shoes. Definitely. It looks just as formal but not so 'try too hard' as the pink. Also, ankle straps are tricky with a mid length skirt - they cut off your legs.

Your waist looks lovely in that dress.

bauhausfan · 31/05/2014 19:30

Another vote for the nude shoes. You look lovely and you really suit your hat!

MissisBee · 31/05/2014 20:12

Thank you for all the kind compliments and comments everyone. feline you obviously have great taste Smile Looks like the nude shoes are just edging ahead of the pink ones

Lovely outfit. Nude shoe vote here.

Kitsmummy · 31/05/2014 20:20

I preferred the pink shoes but not so keen on the shrug, lovely dress and hat though

Merriboo · 31/05/2014 20:25

might be on my own on this one, but the pink belt hanging down like a random stripe doesnt work- is it long enough to go around your waist properly as a belt?
