Help! Would pink shoes be too much?

34 replies

ParanoidPinky · 21/08/2019 17:07

I have ordered this dress for a wedding abroad in October. I am TERRIBLE at styling/fashion so have no idea what to wear with it. I was thinking hot pink shoes and fascinator? Maybe bag too but I think that’ll be much?

Thanks!

Pink shoes will be nice. Fascinations are awful. Don’t do it

BillyAndTheSillies · 21/08/2019 17:40

Pink shoes would work really well with that dress.
Agree with PP on fascinators! I've seen lots of people wearing embellished headbands this year at weddings which looks lovely and very modern. ASOS has loads, as does Anthropologie and even Primark.

BillyAndTheSillies · 21/08/2019 17:43

Something like these?

Either bright or pale pink would look good

ParanoidPinky · 21/08/2019 18:10

Oh I love the headbands!! See I would never have thought about them, I’ll have a browse. Do you think a pink bag would be too much?

Thank you so much!

Bag should match your shoes IMO

Alsohuman · 21/08/2019 18:43

Bag should never match shoes in my world. I’d pick another colour from the top of the dress.

OooErMissus · 21/08/2019 18:44

Pink shoes would look fab.

I'd probably go for an off/white handbag.

ShirleyPhallus · 21/08/2019 18:45

Bag and shoes matching is very 2002, much better to go with something else - gold clutch would look lovely

I am personally not a fan of embellished headbands

0pheIiaBaIIs · 21/08/2019 19:09

Step away from the fascinators, OP!

Headbands are lovely. I've seen some gorgeous velvet/satin ones. Primark have loads and being Primark are very reasonable.

Don't go too matchy - pink shoes would be lovely but as PP said, a matching bag would look a little dated. I love the gold clutch idea - I think of metallics as a neutral. So is leopard print - I'd have a leopard headband with that dress but I wear leopard print with everything!

PennyNotSoWise · 21/08/2019 19:13

Nice dress. I think pale pink would look lovely with it, not too sure about a fascinator though.

Oh, and your battery percentage is making my teeth itch Grin

OooErMissus · 21/08/2019 19:24

Hmm, I probably wouldn't wear a leopard print headband with a dress that has flowers on it.

Ineedtoknowit · 21/08/2019 20:33

No to matching bag and shoes it looks dated

walkintheparc · 21/08/2019 20:42

Beautiful dress

OP I love those headbands shared by Billy!

I would do either with a bag and shoes in tones of pink e.g. dark pink headband, dark pink shoes, neutral/blush bag

0pheIiaBaIIs · 21/08/2019 20:44

@OooErMissus I'm just a fiend for clashy prints 😂 Today I wore leopard pumps and a floral dress with a polka dot cardigan!

ParanoidPinky · 21/08/2019 20:53

I have seen these shoes? I love the headband so think I’ll get that but I’ll have a look in primary first. I am
Ginger though, will the bright pink clash with my hair?

@PennyNotSoWise I like to play iPhone battery roulette Wink

Lol, panic starts setting in for me at about 55% Shock

I think pink would actually go really nice with ginger, tbh, especially the shade that the models wearing in the first pic Billy posted.

managedmis · 21/08/2019 21:11

Er, dont wear a headband please.

Those shoes are fab

Star801 · 21/08/2019 21:14

Silver shoes like the model in the pic. A little black clutch (though pink would work too) and no fascinator.
That’s what I’d go for!

ParanoidPinky · 21/08/2019 21:31

These are the other shoe option but not sure if they’re a bit clunky?

I don't understand the MN hatred for fascinators. They're far nicer than those headbands!

Pink shoes for sure, maybe try for a similar pink to the flowers on your dress, and a silvery handbag. I love pink & green together.

Fabulous dress, btw. Wish I could get away with it! Have a lovely time at the wedding.

BigSexyCrimeUnit · 21/08/2019 23:27

Headbands are for little girls in my opinion. I much prefer a hat or flowers in your hair.

underthebridgedowntown · 21/08/2019 23:38

The first pink shoes you posted are ace. I would go cream bag to go with, don't match it to shoes.

Do you need something in your hair / on your head? I never have for a wedding...

underthebridgedowntown · 21/08/2019 23:38

Oooh silver bag as PP said also good
