What colour shoes and bag would you wear with a chocolate brown and white polka dot dress? Trying to avoid white.

Colour below for an example.

Not gold.

Must admit that I hate kitten heels, although they’re popular on MN.

It also depends on the time of year as to what might work better.

I’m not a fan of kitten heels either, I just didnt want them too high but didn’t want flats because they never look dressy enough.

@Peachesandcream444
I wasn't a fan of kitten heels until recently but I find they dress up an outfit, elongated the leg and are more comfy than a high heel.
I like the Bone slingback but it's too near white, if the polka dots are white.
I think you need a slightly darker colour, nude or beige.
Definitely don't go for gold, awful colour unless you're a ballroom dancer in your spare time 😉
Can we see a full length picture of the dress, it's very "Pretty Woman"

Ok not gold. I was leaning away from gold anyway so glad you agree! The other shoes are described as bone.
I didn’t think about a woven or raffia type bag. I actually have this one and have these matching shoes in the same colour nude leather as the trim on the bag. Would this work?

This is a sweet combination and I really like the shape of those sandals. This would do fine. If you do want something new, you could wear these sandals and get a bright coloured bag for a’pop of colour’ ( fucking hate that phrase, but like the concept!).

Thats a great idea, I could get a different colour bag and wear those shoes. They’re not very comfortable but what shoes are unless they have zero heel.

The dress is sleeveless so now I need to think about something to wear over my shoulders if the weather is rubbish so I’ve found a very casual brown blazer that I can just throw over my shoulders. I don’t want one of those bolero type cover ups, they scream 1990 to me 😂

And this evening I’ve found another dress that I love, completely different colours too 😂 ordered it to try but completely different colours.
