I'm going to a wedding in a couple of weeks and I finally got a dress i like.

What colour shoes and accessories would go best?

I'm hopeless with these kind of things as I'm not really a dress sort of person Confused

I’d go with royal blue.

PatMustardsHairyBaby · 30/07/2018 21:13

Agree with MadMary - the cobalt blue in the dress would look great. Pink or yellow could also work.

Definitely not the nude ones. Nothing against that pair in particular, nude shoes in general are just drab.

You look banging in that dress btw 😍.

Automatic · 30/07/2018 21:15

Is the dress pink or nude?

Automatic · 30/07/2018 21:19

Its a beautiful dress btw where's it from? I need a dress for an event (not a wedding! ). It really suits your figure.

californiascreaming · 30/07/2018 21:21

Lovely dress - my instant reaction was red - because I love the colour personally more than the blue!
But I also am not a fan of too matchy matchy so my other thought was tan could also work as well...

Automatic · 30/07/2018 21:24

Well if it's pink then think it would hard to match up. I'd go with the exact green thats in the dress but you'd have to buy the same shade for bag and shoes. Or lemon or even white accessories? Would suggest you take the dress with you whatever you do. Some tricky colours in there.

Poppylicious · 30/07/2018 21:39

The dress is Karen Millen...i got it in the sale reduced from £225 to £65...result!

It's a definite pink colour but don't think I'd want to go for pink shoes... too much I think.

This is my first ever post so I don't know how to highlight posters... but thank you for the lovely compliment Smile

I'd pick a pair in the blue or the red of the dress and get a pashmina in the same colour.

I'd probably go for the blue and then pick out the red in my bag, nails and lips.

beachmamma · 30/07/2018 21:44

Wow looks beautiful 🤩

I'd go for gold or silver 😀

laramara · 30/07/2018 21:44

Rose gold sandals, Office have a nice pair, great dress you look fab in it!

Poppylicious · 30/07/2018 21:49

Ooh i hadn't thought of rose gold... I'll need to have a look at them.

DontCallMeCharlotte · 30/07/2018 22:33

I agree with laramara - metallic "barely there" sandals. Great dress BTW.

Teaformeplz · 30/07/2018 22:42

I'd go for rose gold too! Although the 'barely there' heels are hands down the most uncomfortable style I've ever worn... I would be weary of over accessorising, perhaps something delicate in rose gold to match the shoes

Poppylicious · 30/07/2018 22:54

I've had a wee look and some lovely ones but quite high. My 50 year old feet would never manage to walk in them all day Sad.
I'll quite liking the thought of metallic so I'll keep looking.
Thanks for all the tips.

PatMustardsHairyBaby · 30/07/2018 23:07

What about something like this?

Or these?

PatMustardsHairyBaby · 30/07/2018 23:10

These ASOS ones are gorgeous if you're a 3, 4 or a 6?

Another strappy pair

DameSquashalot · 30/07/2018 23:12

Blue

RLOU88 · 30/07/2018 23:15

I am not saying that 50 is old but my god you look fantastic! Much better than I would dream of looking in that dress.

MarcieBluebell · 30/07/2018 23:17

The ones you're wearing?! I like those.

I'd definitely go for metallic strappy sandles.

Although I did also think nude shoes as well!

RLOU88 · 30/07/2018 23:23

I also like the shoes you have on

Racecardriver · 30/07/2018 23:23

Wear the shoes in the picture. Fir accessories wear use the colours already on the dress.

Poppylicious · 30/07/2018 23:33

I really like the Asos ones... not too high.

RLOU88 thank you but my face tells a different story Grin

The shoes I've got on are a bit bashed looking, I've had them a few years
