Jewel green evening frock. What colour bag?

For an awards black tie event.
Have black patent heels and need a new bag. Could just go with black obviously but fancied something a bit more wow.

Do I match my lipstick to the bag.

Last time I went to a black tie function was 20 years ago so could do with some advice.

I'd go black or metallic. In neither case do I suggest you match your lipstick to it 😂

Didyousaynutella · 23/09/2021 09:54

Gold metallic bag. Gold jewelry. No I wouldn’t match my Lippy.

TheShadoutCrepes · 23/09/2021 09:57

OK. So black metallic lippy is off the list 😂

I have a strong innate compulsion to match things.

I really like these earrings but currently out of stock. Too Pat Butcher goes to an awards ceremony?

They are much too nice for Pat Butcher.

Love the dress.
Another jewel colour- Ruby or sapphire would look fab.

MayEye · 23/09/2021 10:01

I’ve worn gold too with that colour. Or go black and go wow with the earrings - love the ones you have linked

DrWankincense · 23/09/2021 10:05

I'm very jealous both of the dress and earrings!
Gorgeous.
If you manage to get hold of some I'd match the bag to the earrings.

Gold, definitely gold.

Beautiful dress, I love the colour.

SoupDragon · 23/09/2021 10:25

I hate gold so am voting silver.

peachescariad · 23/09/2021 10:29

I'd say No to black heels......go glittery silver strappy heels and silver/diamante bag.
Sparkly silver jewellery.
Lovely dress

oooh yes! Sapphire and sapphire shoes.
sonicshoegazes · 23/09/2021 10:38

A gorgeous purple 💜

Concestor · 23/09/2021 10:38

Orange! Or gold.

ASEAskeptic · 23/09/2021 10:46

Ooooh what a lovely colour. I'd go for a sort of champagne-y bag, not too gold but on the gold rather than silver spectrum. Gold/pearly earrings. Understated lip. Gorgeous.

mowglika · 23/09/2021 19:17

I’d go bright pink shoes and bag or jewel blue shoes and bag, love the dress Smile

mowglika · 23/09/2021 19:20

Not gold or black, silver maybe, or something like this pic, bright shoes and brocade bag will look a little different

If you had those earrings the bag could be any one of those colours and then you've satisfied your need to match Smile
