Update w/pics...yet another request for help w/ wedding outfit
Permalink Closed

I'm going to a wedding next weekend in Philly - it will be an evening wedding and I'm guessing fairly classy/dressy.  I have this dress, but no shoes, bag or wrap/cardi/jacket to go with.  I'm going shopping tomorrow, any suggestions?


 


but in this color, sort of a fushia/berry


I was hoping to find a clutch similar to this but one that doesn't cost $178


mosaic clutch


I desperately need shoes as well, but I don't want black.  Metallic would be OK, but I'd rather find something less shiny, because the dress is already sort of shiny.  I saw some gray velvet peeptoes in this month's Lucky that I loved - I think they were Stuart Weitzman, but I haven't seen anything similar to them online.  Suggestions welcomed and needed!

I think that color looks great with brown/bronze.  So I would go with bronze shoes and a brown wrap and you could still do a colored clutch, like the teal.

I think grey would look really pretty.  And there are surprisingly quite a few gorgeous grey peep toes available!

I love the shoes you both posted, but when I went out to the mall yesterday, I didn't get a chance to look beyond the nordie's bp shoe dept and dsw - we were on a major shopping trip and needed a bunch of other stuff and didn't have too much time.  But today I was looking at Banana's shoes and I saw a bunch in grey and bronze that could work.  I could probably pick up a pair in store - I'm worried that it's too late to order online.


ETA actual dress w/faux fur wrap (sorry it's so humongous):



What are your faves to complement the style and color of the dress?  I forgot I have a grey/black/white faux fur wrap that would go pretty great with grey shoes...is it too early in the season for faux fur?  I also have a black satin evening bag that I think I will default to to save some cash.


it says it's suede but it looks like satin



this isn't grey but would the color still work w/ the dress and wrap?

The shoes you have are pretty, and would work.  I'm not sure about the faux fur wrap - depends on what the weather is like where you are!
