Accesorize me...please?!?
Permalink Closed


Ok, here's the dress I bought for the wedding this coming Saturday. It's black and white.  The dark black at the shoulder and waist are highlighted with black crystal, clear crystals and black bugle beads.  It's long enough that I can wear heels.  And the outer layer is sort of chiffony.

I need some ideas of where to go with accesories...stay with black/white? add in a colour?  necklace or bracelet or earrings?

pretty! what a great choice for full length -- the pattern definitely reduces the formal aspect of the full length. well done!

I think a large cuff on the right wrist (wrist opposite of shoulder stap would be really nice. I'd do some long, dangly, black, sparkly earrings that echo the sparkle on the dress... or just simple stud earrings...

Thanks D! I was thinking of a chunky bracelet also...but wasn't sure what side to wear it on. :)

Hi!
I also suggest a bracelet & earrings, nothing on neckline. Bracelet definitely on the right hand. I'd add a clutch, preferably black or silveror gun metal. If you want a punch of color  - than I'd suggest in 1 item only: clutch or bracelet (red/yellow/blue/turqoise). Although, colorful bracelet - be sure it doesn't look beach wear. Or maybe if it's turqoise, then in earrings or bracelet...Which shoes are you wearing, black? metal?
Beautiful dress!!! Enjoy the wedding!

Really pretty! I think I'd skip necklace/earrings and wear a jet black beaded bracelet

And maybe some simple silver rings. If you have to have color, which is not necessary, I'd go with red strappy satin or patent sandals.

I also LOVE that dress! I agree with the other girls in just wearing a chunky bracelet on the side opposite of the shoulder strap. For earrings, I think if you wear your hair up then some long earrings like D posted would look great. But if you wear your hair down some nice big stud earrings would be perfect.

I love the cuff on opposite side.  Another option would be to pile on a few bracelets on your arm - which appears to be what a lot of celebs have been doing lately

Thanks gals! I'm kicking myself this morning as last night when I was at Target I couldn't quite bring myself to accept the $17.99 pricetag on a bracelet and $14.99 on a ring that would otherwise have been perfect. cry It just seemed like they should be less. hmm I mean, c'mon...Target...trendy costume jewelry...plastic 'stones'... ??? $30 ??? no 
I should have a chance to swing by F21 on Wednesday though when my son has his social skills therapy session...so maybe I'll luck out there. 

I must say, I LOVE that I can basically wear any pair of heels I feel like since they'll be covered by the hem, and the black/white palette means any colour will do!

Pretty dress! I really like the shape and pattern. I don't necessarily think you need to add any color, but if you wanted a pop, maybe a clutch in red or something unexpected like teal?

XX21 had quite a few chunky bracelets the last time I was in there so you might have some luck.
