That dress is lovely, what colouring are you?
Would silver be wrong,maybe silver/pewter /grey colours.You then have a bit of sparkle too!

MarthaFarquhar · 15/12/2009 20:11

am blonde with very fair skin.
like the silver shoes idea. could I get away with contrasting tights?

Lovely dress, and my favourite colour I think defo silver accessories, not sure about what colour tights though

dairymoo · 15/12/2009 20:15

I think black opaques would be better with silver shoes than contrasting. Great dress!

I bought some charcoal opaques (think gunmetal rather than grey marl) today from John Lewis to go with a dress the same colour as yours.

alypaly · 15/12/2009 20:21

i would put 10 denier charcoal tights with the dress and black and greyish jewellery

MarthaFarquhar · 15/12/2009 20:22

tulpe, what shoes are you planning to wear?

was thinking perhaps grey tights and purple shoes
or purple tights and silver shoes.

Although these caught my eye even though I am sure they are Very Wrong.

Yes,black opaques,silver shoes and silvery wrap/shawl/clutch and silver jewels, I think!

WillieWalsh · 15/12/2009 20:27

NO NO NO NO TO SHITTY OPAQUES

MarthaFarquhar · 15/12/2009 20:30

Well I bought mine to wear with both brown knee high boots and black biker boots (and the dress layered with a gunmetal long sleeved tee beneath) so no good for your purposes

I like the sound of charcoal tights with purple shoes more than the purple tights/silver shoes combo.

Do you have any purple shoes?

BTW, those shoes are very wrong but very lovely

alypaly · 15/12/2009 21:48

i think silver shoes would look awful. i think charcoal grey shoes,maybe a suede with charcoal 10 denier tights and a necklace with dull and shiny stones in black ,charcoal and a touch of teal in it...but silver...no way sorry

alypaly · 15/12/2009 21:48

maybe mix a bit of gunmetal in the jewellery

googietheegg · 15/12/2009 21:51

Teal looks really fab with chocolate brown too

WillieWalsh · 15/12/2009 22:00

no silver tights
oh eys

MarthaFarquhar · 15/12/2009 22:04

silver tights?
Shurely some mishtake?
