ATTN: FASHIONISTAS.... i need a little help

reveries · Jan 9th, 2008, 12:44 AM

i'm going to a friend's wedding and i recently purchased this dress

i am completely lost as to what to wear with it... make up, jewelry, shoes, clutch...

all suggestions are welcome

i was thinking of maybe an open toe flat since my date is about the same height as me hahah

eliza · Jan 9th, 2008, 12:59 AM

I would say no necklace because the bow is enough. i think bracelets and some beautiful drop earrings would be great!

I like your idea for shoes, if your date is your height!

gucci lover · Jan 9th, 2008, 02:05 AM

Ohhh that dress is too cute!! Maybe kitten heels if your date is you height. But it's ok.. look at TomKat - she still wears her heels.. lolz - i agree with eliza.. bracelet and earrings. No necklace. Love the dress.

Agree w/ Eliza. Drop earrings would be great. I would go simple on the overall accessorizing b/c the dress has a lot of personality on it's own.

forever21 · Jan 9th, 2008, 10:34 AM

Cute bubble and bow! All above suggestions are great. I would go silver or if you feel really adventurous - light pink satin shoes and clutch, because I don't like olive green with black, too dark and doesn't match in a bad way.

That dress is adorable. I would wear silver shoes and jewelry for sure. Flats would look cute. Post some pics of it on. I love it!

^ agree with the other girls about staying away from a necklace. i would pile on bracelets, small studs on the ears, and a colorful yet simple clutch to make it pop.

fieryfashionist · Jan 9th, 2008, 02:26 PM

I love the dress!

Hmm, is it olive green?

If so, I wouldn't do black accessories, because I don't think olive green and black work well together IMO... too harsh.

If it is olive green, I would do a warmer color palette, like bronze or gold, rather than silver. Maybe bronze, or gold (but not bright gold, more antique-y gold) shoes, some pretty dangly earrings in a hammered gold or bronze... and no necklace because that would distract from the pretty bow, which should be the focal point. A stack of bangles would look really pretty too, and makeup wise, I think a warm color palette would be so pretty... peachy pink lips, similar tone blush, gold/bronze shadow, liner (maybe an iridescent dark olivey green), and lots of lashes.

If the dress is black, then a hot pink sandals would be pretty, or silver if you don't want to go with color (I love fuschia or pink shoes with a black dress) and a silver or black clutch would be nice... makeup wise I would do pink lips (not bright pink), a light wash of grey/silver shadow, black liner, and lots of lashes. Ohhh, and silver bracelets would be a pretty addition too!

Have fun!

Not sure if my rambling was even remotely helpful, but I'm sure you'll look great!!

reveries · Jan 9th, 2008, 02:35 PM

it's actually a dark gray, almost a charcoal

thanks for all the input, ladies!

i'm actually going to ask my mom today to take it in a bit so i don't look like i'm wearing a trash bag haha.

will definitely shop around for some silver flats and some silver bangles or what not.

thanks girls!

bagaholic85 · Jan 9th, 2008, 02:58 PM

if its dark gray, id go with silver toned jewelry with black shoes and a black clutch. peep toes might be cute. and if ur a bangle person, id suggest bangles with it. but i agree with staying away from a necklace, and the drop earring suggestion. but that dress is so pretty!

wordpast · Jan 9th, 2008, 03:02 PM

Very cute dress. I would probably do black shoes and clutch.

Sophie-Rose · Jan 9th, 2008, 07:10 PM

I would go for black shoes, black/dark metal bangles and a nice cluch... nothing to fancy, i think the dress it's self is enought of a statement...

don't forget to post pics of the end result!!

MariyaCroft · Jan 10th, 2008, 12:23 AM

omg first of all, where did u get it? it's gorgeous.

i would wear black flats or wedges with a black clutch. i think black tights would go great with that GORGEOUS dress! <3

MariyaCroft · Jan 10th, 2008, 12:25 AM

i forgot to add jewelry lol

i dont suggest a necklace because of the big bow

but i think pearl earrings would go great with them and a pearl bracelet

mewlicious · Jan 10th, 2008, 02:44 AM

I almost want to suggest pink since pink is a lovely pair with a dark grey. A pink lip, blush, ear baubles and cocktail ring would look lovely with such a cute dress.
