Help me glam up... but not too much

[cluelessaboutdressing]

I'm pretty comfortable in my skin, and like how I dress day to day, but just occasionally I would like to be able to dress up.
Anyway, I recently bought this dress for a few quid in a charity shop. It is silk, I really like the colours and print and think it has a bit of a 1920s vibe going on. I'd like to wear it, but have absolutely no idea what to wear with it.
Any advice on how I could pull it off... while still feeling like myself?
In particular, what shoes? To give an idea of where I'm coming from, I currently own a pair of black dm boots, assorted trainers / walking shoes, some silver birkenstocks (the flip flip style ones that I don't find very comfortable for walking in so hardly wear), and some chunky red/brown dm sandals. I don't do heels, or even 'dainty' flats, and can't imagine what I could put on my feet that i would feel comfortable in and would work with this dress.

It's a 60s style that dress. Love the print, Flatform espadrilles, round straw bag, chunky gold bracelet?

First thought, get 4cm off the end of the dress. It's a lovely dress but the length is a bit meh. Just take it up a bit. Your legs do not need to be hidden.

Yes I agree with @Fuerza shorten the dress and go all 1960s with it as suggested by @wibblewobbleball

This is a perfect dress for the summer with a straw hat.

Espadrilles is a good call. And shortening the dress too, as I agree about the length - would never have occurred to me. Thanks both.

bright pink espadrilles would look good with the mustardbright pin espadrilles

Thanks for the suggestions. Definitely like the idea of taking it up a bit. It currently comes a little below the knee - anyone want to talk me through the best length for it?

I'd take it up to either of these lines, depending on your preference. I think it needs to hit above the kneecap.
