what would you wear with this dress

sporina

Hi, I am wearing the attached dress to a wedding at the end of October. The wedding is in the highlands so it is going to be very cold.

So what shoes, coat/fur shrug (or what ever you call those over the shoulder fur things) would you wear with this dress?

I am thinking of shoes the same colour as the belt/material in the middle of the dress.
I think the bag should match the shoes - but I think I need to get the shoes first? I am thinking peep toe?

And about the coat - I think it will be freezing but I think one of those fur things would be much nicer as oppose to a coat? Any ideas?

thanks, S

Op in the highlands with a shrug - are you serious?? You will freeze to death! Same with the peep toes. Full toe shoes and tights. No point in having blue legs!

:eek:

sporina

yes - but in the name of fashion - i would be willing to go half way.. i think a peep toe would be great with this dress no? I am afraid that a closed shoe would be too heavy? And what colour would you go for in footwear? Copper or Taupe?

Lovely dress OP- perfect colours for a highland wedding! Tbh I'd be going for tights and closed toe shoes too, and most likely a really dressy coat. You can always bring a shrug or pashmina for when you get indoors at the afters, but I think someone looking comfortable and appropriately dressed for the weather is always more stylish than someone who sacrifices comfort and clearly looks frozen/uncomfortable!

Yep. Patent leather shoes and dark tights will look really classy and elegant.

thanks - and yes it is a lovely dress - i did not think so till i tried it on - wow.

Yeah - I think a coat too - ok - and perhaps closed toe shoes - so what colour? The dark brown or taupe?

Also, hair? I am thinking up?

I think i will just have to walk around town for a few days with the dress in tow.. to get the accessories.

You will have to!! Its always the case when you are looking for a particular colour you wont find it so be prepared to change your mind! Hair up would be lovely - very lily allenish if you go with the dark tights etc

thanks - i like the faith shoes - not sure about dark tights though. I do not do "latest fashion" very well - I am more of a classic girl.

I have seen these dresses in a few shops, have you seen that little jacket that is with them, did your shop have them?
Its an Italian brand the dress no??? Rinascimento-
One question will you be removing the little label tag on Front, I saw it and felt it made the dresss look weird.
Enjoy the wedding

sporina

yeah thats the brand. Really where have you seen them? No there was no jacket with it in the shop I bought it in.

I will defo be removing the little tag - I do not know why a company would put it there.

cailineile

I saw them in Ennis, the have formal and informal ones.

thanks for that - i might give them a buzz tomorrow...
though i think a little fur number would be super with this..

and i ordered a pair of sparkly copper shoes from ebay, just to see what they look like with the dress,,

they were only €15 so if i don't wear them to the wedding its no loss
