    Treated myself to this to wear on Christmas day. I was thinking of black boots with opaque tights. Don't know about jewellery. Bear in mind that I ain't no spring chicken. Christmas day will mean family calling to my house for drinks in the morning, calling to the in-laws and then walking round to friends house in the evening. So I've got to be comfortable.
    Cheers

    hi jos

    i wouldnt wear to many accessories with that dress as it has a lot of pattern. i would go for something very simple cause as you said you want to be comfortable also. how about a small chain, plain or with something small on it. a pair of earings, again, small like pearls or small diamonds and a nice bling ring. love the bling rings! leave the bling ring mabye until the evening for the friends, that way you wont feel to overdressed for dinner and the bling will help with the party mood!

    Thanks girls,
    I tried it with a single strand of pearls and small earrings and they really suited it. Not sure if I like the dress now though. Sh**, I hate buying clothes for me. I can shop for everyone else except myself.

    I like that dress, it's very funky.

    Another option might be one of those long chains in black with a bunch of little pendants hanging on it, like the kind Alexa Chung wears a lot. Maybe that's more casual though. I can't find a good picture of one of the web :o but they have them in Oasis and Accessorize!

    Glad you like it Malari, funky was the look I was going for. I spent more than I usually would so maybe thats why I'm a bit apprehensive about it. I have some of those long black beads with loadsa bits hanging off them. I'll try those too.
    Thanks again

    Stuff like that would go well with that kinda dress, But thats just like a 5 second look up.. There all Monsoon, which is kinda folky itself.
