Cobalt blue dress.....

I have brought a lovely cobalt blue Isabella Oliver wrap dress for an upcoming wedding (will be almost 9 months pregnant so will look like a whale) I need some ideas for shoes/bag/accessories, I quite fancy a statement necklace (mainly to detract from my whale like figure) but have no idea of colour etc. doesn't help that I haven't look in any non mat shops for months! Any ideas welcome....

Nude shoes and silver jewellery?

I think I would go for colour blocking so another bright colour shoes/handbag (pink maybe?) and silver jewellery.

I have a cobalt dress I wear with gold heels and a clutch from Other Stories which looks sort of mixed watercolours on satin, blue/purple/pink/white.

I have a cobalt Baukjen dress. I accessorise with silver shoes for evening (nude for daytime generally) and silver jewellery.

Why don't you see if you can get a wrap matching the blue with another colour and then match the necklace to that.

I've also got a cobalt blue dress to wear to a wedding. Mine won't suit a necklace, but have gone for nude heels and a bright emerald green clutch.

I'd say gold too...

I wore cobalt blue this weekend to a wedding at 39 weeks pregnant and went all out and accessorised with coral shoes and fascinator! It was very bright but hey people were staring at my tummy anyway!

Black and white works well with cobalt.

Lollipop, I am thinking the same....if I can find some coral shoes to fit my delightful swollen feet! Good luck for the baby!
