What to wear with....

Evening All

Just wondering about recommendations for the following dress. I'm thinking I could dress it up going bare legged and with a nice pair of shoes but what sort of shoes? I was trying to avoid cream if possible, as I just don't think they would work with it

I'm also thinking I could maybe make it a bit casual aswell, by maybe adding footless tights or something, [ Haven't really worked out all the details yet, but for 250smackers, I plan on using it!!!!!! ]

Any suggestions on bags also? I was thinking about wearing it to a summer wedding I'm going to in July. Do you think It's too casual for a wedding? Even with maybe black tights?
I'm also really clueless as to what sort of bag to wear with it, both to the wedding and to a less formal event.

[Also, it's a lot longer on me than the model as I'm only 5ft 2 :P]

Wow, it's gorgeous!

Accessories wise, I'd look at the colours in the sequins for inspiration. You could go with the khaki, bright pink or orange.

For casual wear, I think it would look great with a tan leather across body bag, and some sandals. Bag like this.

At a wedding, a simple clutch bag is usually a winner. Something plain, as the dress has a lot of detail, again using the coloured sequins for direction.

The dress is gorgeous, I would go with some classic black heels and
a nice hair piece to finish off the look.

It's funny you say no cream, because cream was the first thing I thought when I saw the pic. I also notice they have cream heels in the ideas on the side.
Classic black heels would work though. I wonder if a dark red would work based on the sequins

Thanks for your suggestions!! what sort of clutch would you wear with it? I'm having serrrrious difficulty teaming colours up with it

I'd go for a black satin clutch with a bit of sparkle in it somewhere ( black sequins maybe) there's black in the dress and I think it would "catch" it. Black patent high high heels would be gorgeous with it aswell imo.

Personally i wudnt put black with this dress...not for a july wedding anyway...black is sucha a 'oh God i dnt have shoes for this..oh these will do' kinda colour it will dull down the amazingness of the dress totally!

Its a real statement piece so if u cud go down the 'let the dress do the talkin' route and go for sumthing like these http://www.barratts.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product1_10055_-1_142673_10553 - Great shoe..really high but v. comfy and go with loads of things coz their so neautral...will also go with this dress perfectly because they are a really pale grey and will compliment the silver/gray tones of the dress.

If u want to go for sumthing a little bolder and fashionable u cud try sum kind of strappy gladiator-esque shoe...http://www.asos.com/Asos/Asos-Hot-Leather-Platform-Studded-Sandal/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=778307&cid=4172&Rf-200=16&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=200&sort=-1&clr=Grey ...mayb not this exact shoe (not sure about the colour) but sumthing in this style just paler!

If u wana go dainty these cud work http://www.asos.com/Faith/Faith-Lorna-Jewel-Front-T-Bar-Platform-Sandals/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=1029719&cid=4172&Rf-200=16&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=Grey

I wud deffinately stick to grey/silver tones and avoid black and cream.

Alternatively for a REALLY bold option u cud try and lay ur hands on sum of these bad boys to play on the colours of the sequiens http://www.shoewawa.com/riverisland_multistrapshoe.jpg the only problem is that they are about 1 or 2 yrs old from RiverIsland so u mite av to try Ebay...they did have a newer version more recently using the same colours that wer cooler with a diagonal strap but i cant find a picture at the mo.

Ok they are my dressy shoe ideas...if u want my ideas for casual looks/bags etc. let me no...u mite not like my style

Enjoy the dress..its fab!!
