What to wear with this dress for a memorial service

A rare foray into S&B.

Memorial service for my mum in a few weeks. Quite informal in terms of dress and certainly not all black (for context, mum wore a bright red dress to dad's funeral ten years ago).

I've recently got a lot more into wearing dresses and bought this one specifically for the memorial but in person it's a bit darker than I'd expected. My absolute favourite dress is one with dinosaur skeletons on it from Joanie but I think even I draw the line at a dress with bones all over it at a death-related event!

I'm wondering about some yellow flat shoes; maybe even trainers would work? The fly in the ointment is that I prefer if possible to buy clothes either second hand or from fair trade producers. So my choices are a bit restricted.

But if anyone has ideas about the type of thing I might look for I can start scouring eBay...

The colours in that dress are gorgeous and I’d want to pick one out with a lovely pair of soft, bright flats.
something like this..

I reckon eBay’s a good spot for second hand Boden.
