I'm going to a wedding and have chosen this dress from Coast, a bargain in the sale. What do you think of the shoes and bag, an awful clash, or interesting combo?

I think I like it. I’m not usually a fan of matching bag/shoes but with the dress and jacket I think it works - nice!

KellyMarieTunstall2 · 03/03/2019 18:42

Thanks fauxfox

I don't think the snakeskin goes with the dress.

Usernamewhat · 03/03/2019 18:47

No, I'm sorry but I think plain nude or metallic would work better than the snakeskin. Nice dress though x

Allthepinkunicorns · 03/03/2019 18:49

The snake skin doesn't go with your outfit, you need plain accessories to go with your dress.

pinkcardi · 03/03/2019 18:49

I'm sorry but I don't like it and don't think it suits the dress.

I'd personally go for a plain colour instead of a pattern

HundredMilesAnHour · 03/03/2019 18:56

I think the bag works but not the shoes. And the matchy-matchy bag-shoes combo does definitely not! The art of wearing things that have a subtle clash is not looking like you've tried to hard. But matching bags and shoes looks like you're trying VERY hard indeed! Not a good look, it's very ageing.

BlueMerchant · 03/03/2019 19:01

No.Love shoes and bag but not together( bit matchy matchy try hard) and definitely not with that dress.

KellyMarieTunstall2 · 03/03/2019 19:02

Thanks for the metallic suggestion, great idea.

I agree that I think metallic would be better. Perhaps a deep pewter?

CountFosco · 03/03/2019 21:25

I like the pattern clash but don't wear the shoes and bag together. Go with one of them (either will be fine) plus either a nude, black or teal bag/shoe.

foxsbiscuit · 04/03/2019 20:56

No sorry it doesn't work.

Betty777 · 04/03/2019 22:16

All nice items, but not together (and I'm a fan of the clash)

Nude shoes or metallic?

Time40 · 04/03/2019 22:39

It's brilliant. The pattern of the snakeskin echoes the pattern of the dress, and the snakeskin clashes with the dress just enough to be interesting, but not so much that it's an actual clash. Inspired. Go with it.

Springiscomingsoon · 04/03/2019 22:49

It's a no from me.
Love all items but not together.
Dress and jacket together look amazing but need plainer shoes and bag.

WoahThereMama · 05/03/2019 07:35

The bag, yes, but not with the matching shoes also. I like clashing combos but this just doesn’t work all together imo.

SalliSunbeem · 05/03/2019 07:48

Personally I think it's not a good look.
