Please help me accessorise this dress....

[LilRedWG]

Right - I've bought this dress for DH's Christmas do in a couple of weeks.

In dress code is "party wear" so what do I need to make it look fab?

What colour shoes? What jewelry? etc etc.

Thanks.

Is your hair long or short?

Sometimes with print dresses it's a good idea to not wear anything around your neck

A nice cuff though

Gold accessories I think

it looks fab already

agree patterned clotehs shouldn;t be over-accessorized

earrings and a cuff good plan but bronze or antiqey gold, nothing too shiny

maybe bronze shoes too, perhaps with a peep toe. Def not strappy sandals with a dress that short IMO.

brown/gold ?

Hair is shoulder length and curly (dark blonde? I'll be wearing it down as that's how DH likes it.

Great shoes aefondkiss!

I think some nice dangly gold earings are all you need.

Just remembered I have a great burnished bronze cuff somewhere. Not with my other jewelry, so need to look in suitcases (usually where I find lost stuff).

Thanks guys. DH will not believe me about the necklace though - he thinks you need necklaces with everything, so need to start preparing him for the shock now.

christ my dh thinks that women wear the strangest things and that fashion and fashionistas are just laughable

cue me hobbling around in shiny leggings to muck tittering

How about this?

Hmmm - link won't work, here's the urlcgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=260292853530

Well it's all academic now. The dress arrived - it fits perfectly and looks okay, in fact it would look great if I was going to a wedding or Christening but is not THE ONE for DH's Christmas bash - I now have less than two weeks to find a new dress and all accessories.
