Accessorize me, please?

Going to a wedding at the end of the month over in Ireland, and am hoping to wear this dress (the black lace overlay, not navy). I was planning to do my hair in a chignon (possibly on the side). Suggestions for a bracelet and earrings? (Pictures earn bonus points!)

Re: Accessorize me, please?

  • I am not fashionista.  At all.  But I would say a pair of sparkly earrings and a larger bracelet, and skip the necklace.

    Is there a Charming Charlie near you?  It is kind of like a grown-up Claire's Boutique.  They have tons of options and colors.  (Less online, it seems, but you can still order online.)  Prices are in the $10-$20 range for most things, so reasonable for costume-y stuff.

    The dress is gorgeous!  I hope you have a great time at the wedding!!!

    Ditto! I also suggest charming Charlie. They have so much in store. If you have one just browse around.

  • I've never heard of Charming Charlie! I'll have to check my Mall's website.

    Sparkly... that's what I was thinking, too, but I wasn't sure if it should be simple drop earrings, or chandelier, or what. The lace top, I think, is throwing me off.

    I haven't received it yet, so I hope it looks as nice on me. lol It is a pretty dress, I thought!

  • My only advice as someone who snagged her lace dress at the last wedding I attended is not to wear any bracelets.  Beautiful dress!  I'm a fan of Charming Charlies for costume jewelry.  Another store I find cute and inexpensive costume jewelry is francesca's.

  • Go for a tennis bracelet; it looks elegant on weddings and all other occasions. If you are not wearing a necklace, choose a pair dangling earrings, something of pear-shaped or diamond hoops will look beautiful on this dress.
