    Cardi, flat pumps.... off the top of my head! Compared to my dresses that's casual on it's own :D

    That dress is fabulous!! is it still in awear?
    I think pumps and a cardi is a great option for it.

    Love that dress :) What about with navy converse?

    That dress is gorgeous. I want!

    Yeah I just bought it on sunday and they'd just come in!
    Thanks for the replies.. I was thinking flats and a cardi too! Maybe red? Just worried that the tulle skirt would be a bit much for daywear

    And the navy converse idea is great! Really funky.. Wouldn't of thought of that actually! And I really want the low top pumps anyway! An excuse to buy maybe? :o

    I love that dress! I tried it on the other day though and it doesn't fit me right, it's way to big in the boob area. So disappointed!

    It would look good with converse

    Yeah i wanted the red converse originally, thought the navy would go with more stuff tho
    Thanks for the advice :o

    Yeah when tried it on first i thought it could be a bit more secure in the chest area but i pulled the drawstring at the back and sewed it when i got home so now its fine!

    personally wouldnt go for converse with a dress. they can make your feet look big and clunky and this dress is dainty and cute.

    if you're looking for a casual runner type shoe to go with it, try a pair of toms. they're in schuch or online. better selection online. they're so comfy and casual, you could wear them with or without tights which you cant with converse.

    otherwise those kinda gladiator sandals would look class with them.

    also go for a grey cardi i'd say for daytime red for at night, more or an impact.

    it'd look great with loads of gold bangles.

    Not unless your feet's too big ;) I think this looks far from clunky - similar style dress too.

    I'd go for gladiator sandals (maybe tan colour) and a light denim jacket:)


  • Registered Users Posts: 263 ✭✭odonopenmic


    Oooh! It's so pretty!

    I think if it were me, I'd go with a cropped denim jacket and brown (cowboy) boots. :p

    I love the dress so so much! But when i was buying it thinking i'm probably not gona get much wear out of this!
    Thank you so much for all the inspirination, your ideas are amazing! I cant wait to try out all these looks now :o

    Are you apposed to dresses over jeans, I think that dress would look fab over a piar of skinny jean, wirh the cons.
