What colour blouse, shoes and bag would compliment this suit?

I've bought this suit in silver but am not sure what colour shoes, bag and top/blouse would go best with it. I imagine most cool colours would work but could do with some advice from you more stylish MNers please.

If it helps to know my skin tone, I use this foundation in "Honest" (top row, far right) and my hair is auburn. TIA.

I have a similar suit and wear it with a lovely emerald green blouse.

LividofLondon · 29/08/2014 18:43

Thanks Enchanted. I don't dislike emerald green but when I had my colours done years back I was told to avoid the jewel colours as they tend to overpower me.Sad Dusky mauves and more muted colours flatter me more. But I want to avoid looking drab as the suit is pale and so am I.

Hot pink, but not sure that will be appealing to you.

Or pale pink top with pewter shoes maybe?

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 29/08/2014 19:29

I'd go with peach.

LividofLondon · 29/08/2014 19:40

Oh good, thanks. I have 2 pinky blouses so feel a bit more confident that they'll go, and I'm eyeing up a peach blouse on eBay! Pewter shoes, mmm, nice. Makes a change from blackSmile That would mean I'd need a pewter bag too would it? Confused I have it in my head that shoes and bag should colour match; is that "right"? Oh dear, I've spent way too long in jeans and feel like I've lost my way a little Blush

I don't 'do' bags tbh and deffo not matchy ones. Hopefully somebody more interested in them will come along soon!

I'd say it is neutral enough to wear a blouse in whatever colour suits you best. Pewter shoes (and bag!) would be lovely, less stuffy than black.

Lovely suit Smile

I don't think shoes and bag need yo match anymore, but I mostly wear trainers and carry a satchel.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 29/08/2014 20:10

Look at these beauties. Am in love

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 29/08/2014 20:11

Snakeprint shoes could be good too.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 29/08/2014 20:12

I like these

VeryLittleGravitasIndeed · 29/08/2014 20:17

I think it would look lovely with a Wedgwood type blue, or a periwinkle blue. And snakeskin/print shoes would look great, agree with Remus. I have these, they're not very practical to walk in but very pretty!

member · 29/08/2014 20:17

Those first ones Remus linked to are fabulous!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 29/08/2014 20:17

Yes - they'd be brilliant with it.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 29/08/2014 20:19

Sorry - 'they'd' meaning the Mango ones. They are lovely.

LividofLondon · 29/08/2014 20:26

Nice ideas, thanks Smile I have some snakeskin stilettos but unfortunately they are more brown and cream, so they don't go. Those Whistles ones are lovely Remus! A bit out of my price range but would look great with the suit. Will keep an eye out for them in the sales.
