Going to a birthday party on Saturday, black tie but at their house so not strictly formal I think.

The shoes in the pic look fab but I'd never walk in them and would feel too tall and awkward in sky-scrapers. (plus I never wear black .)

I wondered whether it needs anything at all at the neck, but my first thought re. jewellery was some sort of oversized pearl bracelet (please don't laugh).

And I thought some sort of bolero/cardi thing might be useful for the inevitable chilly stage of the evening, but don't want anything to clash with the texture of the lace if that makes sense.

Any suggestions much appreciated.

This one

Did you buy black or white?

I think that a really chunky statement necklace like this with some nice stacked heels or wedges in a natural colour.

Or if you want to be a bit more bold add a flash of colour with shoes and necklace.

or one like this

Gold looks fab with white if you have a nice tan going on.

Id wear a gold cuff and gold wedges

ticktockclock · 22/06/2010 20:24

Yep gold summery wedges would be great. Such a nice summer look.

WhatsWrongWithYou · 22/06/2010 20:32

I bought the cream - and forgot to say that gold is also a no-no (have had my colours done).

I'm going more for the lightly fake tanned, delicate look.

Navy then? navy and white always nice, but quite preppy.

ticktockclock · 22/06/2010 20:42

something like this with a nude or pale pink shoe.

WhatsWrongWithYou · 22/06/2010 20:47

Hadn't thought of that sort of thing, TickTock - but it could be just right - will go to Debs pronto!

Yes navy is a fave - also possibly purple (I'm getting a clearer idea now) -anyone seen any navy/purple/nude/pale pink shoes?

I like the Steve Maddens although they look scarily high. Also found these, which I could try on before buying.
