I'm in a bit of a pickle with the accessories

I've got two formal events on two consecutive days. That's bad enough but I think I have chosen what to wear. I'm a jeans and T shirt person in real life.
Two more dresses for the evenings, again I think it's sorted.
However, I have fuchsia, black, turquoise, and a dress that has black,grey, lime and white.
I have lime shoes and a pair of navy and white shoes. Nothing else. Bag, jacket or shawl/pashmina ....no idea.
Help all you fabulous ones. HELP

Do you have a picture of the dresses you're planning on wearing?

If buying new things, do you want them to be used for all of the outfits, or would you be happy to buy 2 pairs of shoes, 2 bags and so on?

If you don't own a pair of simple black heels it would be worth investing. They'll last you years.

I see that black heels are a must and that leaves the shoes sorted. They are an essential that I just don't have Blush.

The dresses aren't the problem, it is the colours. I'm thinking a grey shawl and a navy bag. Or a black and a white bag. I keep going round in circles.

Could you link to the dresses please?

I'm not wearing anything new. I have a fuchsia linen shift from East, plus the jacket. Bought last year and worn to a wedding.
My second dress is from COS and doesn't appear on any sites atm. I bought it in April. It is an abstract print of lime,black, grey and white.
I have returned the turquoise dress and have kept the black.

Navy and white shoes with the pink then and a pair of black to go with the abstract print and the black dress? TBH black shoes would do all these outfits.

MuttonCadet · 01/06/2015 22:13

Black she's will go with all, the fuchsia jacket will go with the black dress as well.

SilverHawk · 01/06/2015 22:18

What about handbags and wraps (if it stays this cold)?
I'm also one evening dress down. I had ordered the turquoise version of the black (to make life easier). The colour was wrong on me :(

And thank you for thinking about this. It really is bugging me that I have the graduations back to back and can't go home between the two.

Are they the same people at each event?can you recycle a dress?

Do you have a wrap already? I'd go black with the abstract dress's, with black shoes and bag.

SilverHawk · 01/06/2015 22:40

I'm happy to wear either dress. It's not the same people but I can't wear the same dress two days running in July. One full day, then a car journey. Whiffy! Then repeat.
