Another help style this dress thread!

Bought this last week for a wedding
http://ie.boohoo.com/plus-leila-applique-v-neck-lace-skater-dress/PZZ93519.html?color=157
I love it on and the colour is something I never wear but I really like it. The trouble is I don't know what colour to match with it. I know I could go down the usual nude/cream route but I was looking for other suggestions either! I've been looking on http://www.bettyandbiddy.com/chunkies/?sort=featured&page=1 and http://www.jenniferwrynne.com/store/c73/Necklaces_.html for a nice statement necklace. I cannot last all day in really high heels so a mid heel is ideal. The wedding is in April so I'll definitely need a cover up of some description. Also probably should note I'm a size 16.

Any suggestions most welcome!

I wouldn't go for a statement necklace with that dress at all - I think it has enough detail that adding anything more 'statementy' than a pop of colour in a jacket or wrap and shoes.
In terms of colour, for some reason the first colour that comes to mind is a pale yellow! That's assuming the dress itself is sort of a coral/pink/red rather than a true red.
If it was mine I'd probably stick with very simple accessories in a nude tone and very simple hold or silver jewellery with clean lines.

I wouldn't go for a statement necklace but instead go for a bit of a statement on the shoe.

These are a 3" heel so should be fine for wearing most if the day(lets face it by 11pm at any wedding most women have decamped to a pair of flats that came along in the handbag )

or the same style in glitter

The above 2 pair only have a 2'3 inch heel.


I would go with a navy shrug or baby pink shrug(thats if the dress is a hot pink which it looks like in the pic) if you go with the silver shoe

Agree with the two posters above, I wouldn't near a statement necklace with that desss. The neckline just doesn't work that way. A simple simple chain & pendant instead. Focus on the shoes and wrap/jacket

I agree with the above posters, a statement necklace isn't needed. A short dainty chain would look nice.

As for shoes, I'm new on Boards so I'm not allowed post a link but if you go to New Looks website you can search for shoes by heel height so you can choose mid heels and have a look there. There was a few nice pairs that I think would look good.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions! I actually own a few pieces of simple jewellery that I could get away with using. I suppose I was just thinking statement necklace because I'm very wary of having my arms out,
I would usually always opt for a sleeve of some description! Definitely going to go and have a look for a pair of snazzy shoes!
