For a wedding in the summer dress

I have bought this bag in cream bag
and before you all pounce on me for the bag being too big I need to carry nappy/wipes etc.

Any ideas for shoes, a shrug, jewellery and hat?

Actually just checked again and the bag is white. Do I stay with white accessories or swap for cream?

I think cream accessories would be less 'harsh' than white. Will have a look for you....

i think white would be great with that dress for a summery wedding

cream is a bit old lady with blue (IMO)

Dress was super bargain so can be a bit generous with budget for shoes/hat/jewellery.

Preference is white as nice and clean but would go with cream if everyone thought it would be better. Plus I just bought the bag in WHITE.

They're nice nailpolish. And I guess I have a few months to get my feet up to scratch

Couldnt do the mules. Like the first sandals best but think the 2nd pair would look better on my feet.

bling ring

statement earrings

job done!

nailpolish · 06/03/2009 16:19

actually i dont think these earrings work

scrap them

MadameCastafiore · 06/03/2009 16:23

I would go for shocking pink accesories and not white - I think a totally contrasting colour is braver and more fashionable than white or cream.

nailpolish · 06/03/2009 16:23

id maybe just have large sivler hoops

MadameCastiafore - Agree that pink would look cool. I'm not sure I'm brave enough though. The cleavage is a killer and that is my brave thing on the day
