Help me help my daughter!

My daughter finishes sixth form this year and is going to the end of school prom. She is wearing a long navy blue fitted dress - very similar to the one that I will attach (without the extra bit of skirt) and she wants to wear some silver slip on sandals very similar to the ones pictured . She does not like a proper high heel and much prefers kitten heels. My questions are: Firstly, do blue and silver go and would these shoes and dress work together? If so, any ideas for a bag that she could take? ie colour , size style etc.
Thabk you so much in advance - I’m rubbish at this type of thing.

That's a lovely dress. Silver would look lovely with it. I'd get a silver clutch bag and sparkly hair accessories.

This, my dd wore something similar to hers years ago. They don't need to carry much their phone and a lipstick so a clutch bag is fine.

My daughter wore the same colour to her prom with silver shoes and got her clutch from quiz it was same blue with silver diamonds on front which picked out the silver of shoes and was a tenner! That's a beautiful style of dress!

I think my Dd got her shoes from newlook.

A few weeks ago I saw some bags (and shoes) in the sale in Dune that would really work for what you want

Worth a look in accessorise. They do lovely clutch bags

Silver and navy are perfect together. Better than gold imo. Although navy and rose gold go well together.

Silver and navy look great, but I’m not sure how good slip ons would be if she plans to do much dancing. They look pretty, but she might have trouble keeping them on her feet!

Rita Ora Primark collection has silver kitten heels exactly the style you want. Saw them there last week

DD however bought her prom shoes from New Look.

I think the slip on mule style might fall off when dancing

I agree with the quibble about the slip ons.

I'd definitely get something with more straps.
