Either s pink or red dress would be nice. Along with other gold accessories and gold glitter nail polish.
Paint them in normal gold first then go over them in glitter and top coat for shine.
I know not everyone one is into hair accessories but if you are, a gold glitter hair band would look lovely

Not silver?

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 19/08/2015 17:33

Yes Silver is fine. If your shoes are silver. They looked gold on your picture

If only I could squeeze into a red dress I already have.

Going to search red now, it's a colour I love to wear...

Do you think kitten heel wouldn't work with this length?

I'm thinking I need knee length dress and also this is too eveningie?

This in the mint colour I think might work with the silver??

I really like this but not sure the silver shoes will look right.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 21/08/2015 21:46

Me personally would not put kitten heels with the first red dress you have posted. Dont get me wrong. They wouldnt be ghastly but I do think a higher heels would be better.
Yes mint and silver dfinstely work well together. Gorgeous combustions.
The 3,rd dress you have posdted would look nice with red shoes. But silver would work too.

Thanks v much Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost, I think I may order the mint one, not a colour I would usually go for so tempted to try it.

Hackedabove · 22/08/2015 08:14

Thank goodness for click and collect, I can report back tomorrow afternoon!

Hackedabove · 22/08/2015 08:21

Oh no, now I'm thinking I need a jacket... White cardi?

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 22/08/2015 08:36

No not too casual at all. It's gorgeous and elegant

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 22/08/2015 23:48

OMG. That dress is gorgeous. Excellent choice.

Hackedabove · 23/08/2015 09:00

And I've still yet to pick up the mint one, might keep both, as they'll be good for next summer.

Hackedabove · 25/08/2015 15:21

Def need to get down to SW, mint size 14 too small!!
