Please help accessorize me for a wedding
Permalink Closed


I need your help! I'm so burned out from dress shopping for three weekends straight (somehow every dress in the world refuses to fit me at all), and now I'm getting frustrated trying to accessorize myself!

I bought this dress from ATL:



(it looks way better on me wink.gif)

It's longer on me than the picture - it's about knee-length. It also looks black in the picture, but in real life it's a very deep navy blue.

I need shoes, jewelry, etc. I have red peeptoes, but then I feel strangely patriotic (red, white, and blue) and plus they're a little too pinuppy for a family wedding. Also, since I'm leaving for the wedding next Thursday, I'm limited in the places I can shop. I need either B&M stores (I think I have all the basics except Nordstrom), 6pm.com (their shipping place isn't that far from me so it always gets here super quickly), amazon.com (only items they ship themselves, because I get free 2-day shipping with my Amazon Prime), or somewhere that has that free 1 or 2-day shipping. I've looked everywhere I can think of, but I think I'm just too worn out from dress shopping to think clearly.

If it makes any difference, I'm freakishly pale with really dark hair (I just got it dyed, some people said it looks black) and I look bad in gold. I don't want a necklace because the neckline is already pretty closed in. The wedding is in the evening and in a ballroom (or something, it's inside I'm pretty sure) at some kind of nature preserve or national park or something (I'm a bit hazy on the details smile.gif)

The biggest hurdle, I think, is price. I don't want to go over $60 for all my accessories, and the lower in price, the better.

Thanks girls!!!

I'd do a big bright colored clutch (magenta, teal, yellow), a few skinny enamel bangles, and nude peep-toe.

I like this idea. You could get these from Endless, which has free overnight shipping, for only $27:



There are tons of brightly colored clutches there, too, so you could add one into your order and still come in at under $60.
