The turquoise would look good, or you could add pink, electric blue or red? Do you have any coloured shoes? What colour hair do you have?

neilsharvest · 20/06/2014 21:31

I'd thought sbout pink I have navy shoes or silver or black- how boring am I!? I have brown hair, very pale skin. What shade of pink do youthink?

I'd add white

ChickenFajitasAndNachos · 20/06/2014 21:37

Did you want to buy new shoes or use what you have. I think bright pink is nice with brown hair.

DottyDooRidesAgain · 20/06/2014 21:43

Pink

Handbag

neilsharvest · 20/06/2014 21:47

Would buy all accessories if I thought it'd be a lovely outfit.

White is an interesting idea ronald. Not sure I could pull it off. Just remembered I'm after a cover up too- nreds to be a shrug so as nottohide my waist...

Dotty you are good. If I start a thread about a BBQ wedding i have been invited to would you help me?
The pink looks lovely.

DottyDooRidesAgain · 20/06/2014 21:54

Lots of colours

DottyDooRidesAgain · 20/06/2014 21:55

I will try Chicken Grin

DottyDooRidesAgain · 20/06/2014 21:57

With your colouring and the dark dress I would stay away from pale colours. Purple might be good too do you want me to have a look?

ChickenFajitasAndNachos · 20/06/2014 21:59

Do you want a shrug or a wrap/shawl type thing? You could do red shoes and a black and white polkadot wrap, a sort of 1950's look.

DottyDooRidesAgain · 20/06/2014 22:00

The 1950's look sound good.

Lucked · 20/06/2014 22:20

I would add a day or belt in either pink or yellow. I have a great wide yellow bow belt I got in Ted baker years ago their current offering is skinny.

Or do a sash

GoAndDoSomeWork · 20/06/2014 23:21

definitely add a sash in a non bridesmaid colour - you can either buy a wide ribbon and seal the ends yourself with a match or there are some fab ones available if your budget allows .... just found this company sash
