"Can't accessorize for sh*!" - please help

Yes, I know this quote really dates me but what the hey.

I have a dress, it's not particularly wedding-ey but lack of funds prevent me from buying another but I am just totally rubbish at accessorising. Really bad. I need the help of those who are good at it, or in anyway slightly less rubbish than I am.

The wedding is in a weeks time so weather will probably be OKish but chilly in the evening. The dress is linen (photo of me looking scruffy in it the changing room attached). Can I get away with tights (I'm pretty much always cold unless it's over 25 degrees)? What can I wear to keep my arms warm?

I have twenties style bob with a fringe so could possibly go for accessories with that kind of vibe. The wedding I'm going to has a vintage/Rockbilly/festival feel so lots of outside/marquee etc.

Happy desperately grateful for any ideas

Neutral tights and a flapper style scarf/shoes? It looks quite 1920's and I think you could carry it off well?

Thanks. That sounds good idea will see if Google can find me anything suitable.

Maybe some Mary Janes or T-bar shoes?

LinusDKD · 30/08/2014 16:09

flat T-bar shoes that look 'dressed-up'
