Help Accesorize Party dress!
Permalink Closed

I'm so excited because I just bought this Nicole Miller dress for my birthday party next weekend. It' so pretty and super flattering! The color is sort of bronze/goldish. How would you accesorize it? Shoe color etc?

Ooh, pretty! I think I would just keep my jewelry really simple like diamond studs or short drops and a tennis bracelet to show off the dress. Oh, and some killer shoes.

Newbie chiming in:

Gold heels would be great - make them a darker shade versus a light, bright gold. Knaamean?

I'm picturing an armload of skinny gold bracelets and very simple gold earrings. And if you have a red clutch, then rock it.

Happy birthday!

I'm thinking red or purple in some way.  I think some bright "party" color would be great to accent that gorgeous dress.  You need to take a pic of you in the dress and post it!

Don't you have some amazing Manolo (or some other fab brand) animal pumps?  Maybe those would work and then keep your jewelry simple, just some sparkly earrings.  I'm thinking that gold shoes might not look right against that dress, but I could be wrong, just depends on the exact shade of the dress IRL.  Maybe post some of your shoes that we could pick from (unless you want new ones ).

Those red CL wouldn't be perfect!!


I love the Jimmy Choos, but I think you need some color somewhere to make the outfit really pop.

I think the choos would look nice too - I'd try on a few different pairs to see what feels best.


on my birthday I have a think about wearing my favorite things - so go with what you love!


I would love to see the final outfit - you should post a pic!

This is probably my personal bias because I love my (fake) pearl rope, but I think it would look good with opera length pearls or a pearl rope...with that dress, I'd probably put a knot towards the end

a knot like this:
but I usually put my knot only a few inches from the bottom

ETA: I know this picture makes the necklace look frumpy. But I wear mine all the time, I promise it's not!

I thought of these shoes right away.



I think they would look great with the dress.

I like either the red or gold shoes that D posted. Beautiful dress, Collette!

Those shoes would be perfect.  I'd do with shimmery accessories - something light and delicate - delicate strand necklaces or a silvery or gold light wrap.  It' difficult to tell from the pic whether gold or silver would look better with the shoes.
