Dress/Style me?

I'm going to my friends bachelorette on Saturday and I'm at a bit of a loss for clothing.

The party is starting off with dinner and drinks at a hotel and then we're going to a club.  Boo for clubs, not really my style.  This is the place: http://ultratoronto.com/index_main.html it's pretty swanky, or at least looks that way.

I picked up a LBD (at the grocery store of all places) that I think could work with the right accessories.

Dress: (excuse the face, it was 6:30am)

image 

Detail: (excuse the dirty mirror, I'll clean that today, promise)

image

It's the super loose and kinda stretchy and thin material.

I was sort of thinking of wearing it with black (comfy) pumps.

What say you all about accessories?  Bright and chunky?  Sleek?  Should I wear tights with it?  Patterned?  Plain? 

Help?

It's kind of tough since I don't have most of the stores here that you guys do south of the boarder, and there's not enough time to order something, but inspiration is good.  We do have a Forever 21 close by.

Re: Dress/Style me?

  • I like the idea of colored jewelry to brighten it up. :)  I would probably just keep it simple and be neutral with tights. If you do bright jewelry.

    I like the dress. My grocery store doesn't sell stuff like that. Maybe a college football tshirt but that's about it.

  • I would honestly put a big, bright broach on the dress. I think it would look best if you took one of the straps and bunched it together (just above your boob) and pinned it there. No tights, if you have a silver pair of shoes I'd pair it with that. If not, I think black would look ok, and a small shiny necklace. I love that dress, btw. Looks good on you.

  • Yeah, that club is pretty swanky. An old coworker said that she saw Kiefer Sutherland there.

    Nice dress!

    I'd wear some hot shoes with that. Something with colour. 

    Big bangles and big earrings.

    A big belt might look good with it but I can't say for sure without seeing the drape of the dress in person or the actual belt. 

    I'm with you, I'm so over the club scene.

  • I like the idea of bright shoes.  But that does mean more shoes.  Sssshhh, don't tell Derek.

    I agree with Ringy esp on the bolded points. I think a nice pop of color (colour) would be fantastic.

  • I love the dress. It looks great! I would say go with some bright, fun jewelry or colored shoes since it's a bachelorette party.

  • Thanks for the ideas everyone!  I think I'll run up to Winners (um, like Target?) at lunch and scope out some ideas.

    Can I say how much I love that this dress is a medium?  Like, whaa???

  • Ooh, cute dress, raynes.  It looks versatile - like you could add a wrap or jacket and have different looks.  I agree with big earrings or a chunky necklace.  Or bright colored shoes.  I'm not up on the club scene, but I'm sure this will work well.  What's your weather like?  Tights would be a ncie accessory too.

     PS - you look great!

  • You look hot!

    I totally think the fact that dress is a medium, deserves a reward of new shoes Wink

  • I vote with everyone else on the awesome shoes to go with it. Don't just do black. Those are for work. Then I would do either a fun necklace or fun earrings and a bracelet, but not both.

  • Cute dress & you look great!

    I agree with everyone on the colorful shoes! I also think a chunky bracelet & fun earrings would be nice.

    I also think patterned tights would be cute, but with black shoes and simple accessories :)

     

  • Super cute dress! You look awesome. I agree with the others, I think a bright necklace and fun colored shoes to match, would really make your outfit pop!

    I agree. You look great! I agree with the other ladies that some fun shoes and jewelry would look great with the dress.
