I've ordered this dress (pic inc) ...

[Laiste]

It's dark green.
Big party coming up - lots of people, some i don't know - i'd like to look glam but not stand out too much. I'm hour glass and bustier than the model.

Nude kitten heels? Nude tights?

Or should i try to find some dark green shoes? Or is that too matchy?Dark tights with dark shoes? Bare legs?!

I don't get out much these days! Haven't dressed up for ages. What are your thoughts?

I like it , lovely colour and shape, how about black sparkly shoes and bag ?

Than you 😊
yes i've got a black bag but not sparkly sadly.

It looks like it might be an 'easy' dress to wear. Walking about, sitting, standing. I just want something which stays in place and doesn't need special bras ect. (will get the spanx out tho 😳)

Gold or nude flat sling backs would look good. Bare legs would be best.

I agree with bare legs, its a lovley dress!

Lovely, where is it from?

Black shoes and bag.

Bare legs, red suede shoes!

Hmmm ok - bare legs and black or nude shoes 👍
I have some nude low sling backs; i'll post a pic of them.

Ill do a link for the dress, it's Blue Banana.

Wow i didn't think of red!
Really?

Im warming to that ...

Oooh lovely dress! Good choice. Agree with pp - you could get away with all of those shoe and bag colours.

Yes, red! I think matchy-matchy, or "tasteful" (meaning blending into the background, thinking the sequins are already too much) can be very ageing, very Daily-Mail-says-this-is-what-a-50yr-old-should-wear-to-dress-up. But a bright colour with a 'sensible' heel (ie not stilettos, more like a kitten or low pump) can be just the thing. The shape of the shoe should be comfortable and sensible, the colour will do all the talking.

Oooh Cankles you've inspired me!

I do struggle with dressing and adding something which lifts me out of boring but avoids mutton as lamb vibes.

Please no nude shoes, they’d have nothing to do with the outfit!

I’d go either black or silver depending on your colouring.

Or bronze. Or silver. Or gold. Or pink. Or red. Or any bloomin’ colour. So many options!

Or if you’re feeling more casual it’d look great with a biker jacket and black boots.

Definitely not red! Have you not heard the rhyme? Red and green should never be seen

🥲

Ive been browsing red shoes!

I'll show you the ones i fancy ...

100% agree with red shoes. Not with dark tights.

Either of these?

I wondered if red and green might be a bit too xmasy ...

Re biker jacket - i have a black leather jacket i'd probably wear over it on the walk to the place. But i imagine ''velvet and sequin'' is probably going to be quite hot so i'll be throwing it off asap.

It is fab and amazing! Enjoy!

I’d go with black. Definitely not red, and no more sparkles. Black suede would be my first choice,

I'd go for a darker/burgundy red suede to reflect the shade of the dress.

Black shoes, maybe kitten heel slingbacks?
