    Hi everybody!

    I posted here before for help accessorizing a dress, and you did a super job! So I am enlisting you guys for help once again ;)

    Soooo.... I have just bought a dress, and am STUMPED as to how to accessorize... The main things I need help with are what kind of shoes (and what colour!!!), what kind of accessories (if any!) and any ideas for a colour of nail varnish that would set it off....

    Dress is here

    Any help is really appreciated :)

    Thanks guys :)

    Minimal accessories and a 1940s hairstyle would be fab!

    I definately think red would be the way to go to balance out the colours in the outfit, what colour cardi would you wear? Would it be for day time or night? Definately want a nice blood red lip stick with it. What colours your hair? I'd have a look at irregular choice for something a bit fun.

    My hair is very long, past the bottom of my shoulder blades, and is chocolate brown.

    I was hoping to wear it to a wedding - daytime in mid June, so hopefully may not need a coat or anything, maybe just a shawl?

    I was thinking irregular choice shoes too (love that collection!!!!) but then I thought that the dress was such a piece by itself, that the shoes should be simple enough?

    Thanks for your help here! ;)

    Ehm I reckon you could get away with a fairly striking shoe if you were to keep the rest minimal. Definately need to work more red into the outfit though, maybe a red alice band with a bow, or a red cardi/shawl or red beads if not red shoes. Red tights and white peep toes would be cool. I think it's quite a simple dress and you could work it up a bit more with some quirky shoes or accessories.

    Yeh agree with Sapsorrow..more red (not too much) and itll be fab. The more i look at the dress the more i love it, so unusual ;)
