So I have this dress for my day at ascot. We are in a box to I want to look tip top!

It doesnt seem to me to be a classic Ascot dress, but its all I have and I can't afford to buy anything else. I just need shoes and perhaps a hat / bag combo.

I have no idea where to start. Please help!!

I really really like those clumpy coral shoes, Symbollocks. Might go try them on. Would they be elegant enough for ascot though I might buy them regardless

Ooh, good fascinator there from Symbollocks. Not too big I think - I'm short (5'3) and find those upright disc ones to be the most flattering.

Thanks minipie. Headgear makes me nervous. I always think I will look back in years to come and say "what was I THINKING???"

I reckon you'd have to try the coral shoes on. I don't think they'd look as chunky on IYSWIM! 😀

Love those faith shoes they are awesome. I think they would go fine with the dress (and with Ascot) but you might need to go a bit edgier with the rest of your outfit eg a fedora not a fascinator.

If you think they are not Ascoty then how about these

here is another coral/salmon pink fascinator

zimzimma · 20/07/2016 12:03

love love love the micheal kors shoes

and the fascinator

LOVE

The colour of the Michael kors shoes and fascinator wouldn't work together though they will clash because the shoes are more a rust pink and the fascinators a coral/salmon pink.

like those gold river island ones too I want them all

Does anyone know if I can get a nice petticoat thingy from the high street, something to make the skirt look 'bigger'?

Also shoe budget £70-80 at the very very most
