Can't accessorize for toffee. Have a dress, and feck all else. Please help me before I end up wearing flip flops and a blazer.

This is the dress I'm wearing to a friends wedding in October www.jaeger.co.uk/index.cfm?page=1094&productid=630049R&productvar=630049R-07400-10&refpage=1368

What next?

Oooh that looks lovely! I would think a funky chunky necklace and a wrap/pashmina type thing would finish it off. Plus some heels, black would do if can't match the colour. I have some strappy black velvet sandals that get worn with everything, so were a good investment.
Have some lovely chunky necklaces in MnS Autograph at the moment (also some cute MaryJane type patent shoes).

I'd go for a large disc drop collar necklace, oatmeal mini bond, and navy lizzie paisley scarf.

Oooh that's pretty!

I think some metallic shoes and a bag would work really well. Gold, silver or (my preference) pewter.

Some suggestions

lovely

similar

more pricey

not pewter but gorgeous and would work

pretty and there's a bag and wrap on the page too!

I would keep it quite simple tbh. A bag to match the shoes - some possibles here

love this one!

Not a silver wrap though. Either a dressy cardie or a wrap in similar colour to the dress.

Some simple but eyecatching jewellery and hair up in a messy bun style - maybe a sparkly clip but absolutely not, under any circumstances, a fascinator!

Ok.

I've just ordered a teal organza wrap - hopefully in sameish shades to my dress.

I've ordered the pewter shoes.

I'm contemplating this necklace from Phase Eight.

Pewter clutch, or teal/jade?
