That is stunning, and doesn't need attention drawn away by standout accessories. So the black heeled sandals and small clutch shown in the photo work perfectly.

The silver shoes and bag in one of the pics looks lovely with it. I'd skip a necklace due to the style of the top and maybe go for statement earrings.

Something like these. https://www.asos.com/asos-design/asos-design-drop-earrings-with-3d-floral-design-in-silver-tone/prd/206422536?currencyid=1&browsecountry=GB&affid=28694&_CjwKCAjwqMO0BhA8EiwAFTLgINnfCcPqmJP1iZMD4-Vlb4C4_87ZFvao5R2LMtBNmYCeBK9EG9WckBoCZJMQAvD_BwE&channelref=product+search&ppcadref=20546713158%7C%7C&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwqMO0BhA8EiwAFTLgINnfCcPqmJP1iZMD4-Vlb4C4_87ZFvao5R2LMtBNmYCeBK9EG9WckBoCZJMQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Unless you are you planning on wearing a hat or fascinator then earrings would be too much. Where you planning on a hat?

ThePoetsWife · 12/07/2024 08:17

I would add either turquoise blue or tomato red shoes (sandals or heels), clutch and earrings.

TheTwirlyPoos · 12/07/2024 09:31

Ooh interesting.

Im a gold not silver though. No hay, not that kind of do

Either a bracelet or earrings, no necklace due to the bodice style, black shoes, plain black clutch. Less is definitely more with such a striking piece of clothing, let the outfit do the work.

Erdinger · 12/07/2024 13:03

Oh it’s lovely ! I’d go simple - black shoes + statement earrings

IdontPracticeSanteria · 12/07/2024 13:24

That's lovely and I'm not usually a fan of jumpsuits.
I agree minimal accessories

Fraaahnces · 12/07/2024 15:16

I think nude or black shoes, or gold sandals. Matching bag. Cuff bracelet. Simple. Timeless.

GogAndMagog · 12/07/2024 16:22

Is it in a church, just thinking of uncovered shoulders....?

Thank you everyone for your comments too - I was worried it was a bit dull.

No not a church.

Tried these on today, they were comfortable (two small kids in tow). What do we think?

These aren't suitable. The outfit is absolutely gorgeous and because of the bow detail, a bow on the shoe would be overkill.

I'd probably go with either a black or gold high strappy sandal and clutch and then a chunky bracelet and earrings in whatever style you like. I think gold would be nice. No necklace and while I think the outfit can take sizeable jewelry I wouldn't go for anything too busy.

This will be beautiful on you with your colouring! A little bit of bronzer too to contrast the white top against pale skin.

TheTwirlyPoos · 12/07/2024 22:45

OK thanks. I tried on a pair of gold sandals but they were sort of plaited style and just looked too fussy. I have wide feet which seriously reduces my options!

I got a pair of silver and gold drop earrings and I'll wear my hair up.

Katrinawaves · 12/07/2024 23:17

That is phenomenal and you are going to look amazing!

With hair up and drop earrings I wouldn’t do much else by way of jewellery other than a nice watch if you have one and preferred rings.

Rather than a back or gold sandal though I’d go for either a bright pink or red shoe and matching clutch bag. I think that would really elevate your look. Maybe another bright jewel colour if red or pink is not your style but definitely not a neutral colour.

I think these are fabulous, as is the outfit

Meanwhile33 · 12/07/2024 23:55

I think the bows on the shoes is too much and competes with the jumpsuit and makes it less stylish. Something simple for shoes and I like the cuff bracelet idea.

TheTwirlyPoos · 13/07/2024 07:51

These?

OP posts:
Cuppapuppa · 13/07/2024 07:54

I don’t really like gold (silver is definitely more on trend) but they would work.

TheTwirlyPoos · 13/07/2024 07:56

I just don't suit silver and I don't think I'd wear the shoes again if I got silver.

OP posts:
Cuppapuppa · 13/07/2024 07:58

Black?

TheTwirlyPoos · 13/07/2024 07:58

Yeah I could do

OP posts:
ThePoetsWife · 13/07/2024 08:55

Avoid black if you can as it's not your colour (only winters can wear it and you sound like a spring with your auburn hair and pale skin).

ThePoetsWife · 13/07/2024 08:56

Avoid silver too - it's too cold for your colouring.

ThePoetsWife · 13/07/2024 08:58

Go for tomato red (which has a hint of orange in it) clutch and lipstick.
