Help me accessorize!

I just bought this beautiful Lilly Pulitzer dress online today...it was on sale, big time, and I really want to wear it to a wedding that we're going to on 9/15.

I just have no idea what color shoes/jewelry/purse we match best....any ideas?

Re: Help me accessorize!

  • is the bottom navy blue?  i can't tell on my monitor, it's a cute dress though!

    my first instict was gold shoes, not sure why.  i really like gold against navy blue, so maybe some gold bangles?  i wouldn't wear a necklace with it because of the neckline, i'm not sure the best type of purse to go with it, though.  maybe a clutch that matched one of the colors on top?  that would be cute :)

  • Yes it's navy blue at the bottom.

    I do actually have some cute gold strappy sandals that would work and also some gold bangles...After looking at the pic of the model in the dress I was panicking that I would have to buy navy blue shoes when I really can't afford an entire new outfit!

  • I was also going to suggest navy blue shoes or hot pink ones to match the top.

    If you don't have those though, then I think a silver, gold, or nude shoe would look good too!

  • I go with either gold or nude shoes and gold jewelry. But, I'd go easy on the accessories, it's a busy (I don't mean busy in a bad way) dress and you'll overwhelm yourself. A few gold bangles or a small bracelet and some gold studs would be perfect, I think.

    Cute dress!

  • I agree keep it simple and go with gold. No necklaces but a clutch purse and some bangles with stud earrings would be perfect.
  • I agree....metallic shoes and simple accessories.

    This is what I was thinking - the dress is bold, so I'd tone down the accessories.  I love nude shoes!

  • perfect! I have nude, gold, or nude heels/sandals with gold accents on them, so I'll try all three pairs on and see which one looks best. Thanks ladies :)
