Accessorise this...

French connection dress

tis the only dress i could find that goes round my 32H's that didn't make me look pregnant.
I like it a lot but without the right accessories it is borderline frumpy.

ps please don't tell me that you hate it - it took forever to find

at the moment I'm just wearing it with white birkie-like sandals

It's adorable. I'm sure you've thought of gladiators but you could also do a little ankle boot if it suits.

also I think you should change the title of your post to "Accessorise THIS!"

Hi. thanks.
can't get the link to work...

any other suggestions?

I had though of glads but I worry that i'd be jumping on a trend just as it is finishing...

When are you planning on wearing it - for going out?

If for evening I'd go for some high black cage sandals and a cuff style bracelet.

For daytime I'd probably go for glads or something like these

muddleduck · 22/05/2010 19:28

day time.
don't get to go out much these day.

hasbeens too pricey, but in case I win the lottery... what colour?

ooh muddleduck, I loved this dress and have tried it on several times. I just find it a bit too short for me without leggings or tights (being the wrong side of 40) Its a fab dress and very flattering
these for day
ths for evening

traceybath · 22/05/2010 19:40

Oh and a cropped denim jacket on top if cold.

I have the hasbeens in nature as they go with everything. Topshop are going to do a red version for about £40.

honeydragon · 22/05/2010 19:55

wahat about these at £9?

honeydragon · 22/05/2010 19:56

i think the red would go as well

mathanxiety · 22/05/2010 20:11

Anything black would dress it up very nicely -- including necklace, earrings.

I was thinking a boot similar to this. A bit spendy maybe but will carry on for next fall / winter.

Here are Emmy Rossum and Jessica Alba in variations on this look.

I think I was trying to link to a Steve Madden boot on the UO site originally.

muddleduck · 23/05/2010 12:28

thanks for all these suggestions. you are all so much more imaginative than me

i think I'll go for somethink like the jewelled sandals that clure linked. would go with everything else that i own as well.

anyone seen something like this with a teeny bit of a heel?

Next is quite good for jewelled sandals.
