The color is great for you!<br /> I would go only for a bracelet and nice earrings it's more youthful and simple! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-suggestions-for-accessories#post-78316 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 01:14:27 +0000 astanton 78316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies! You've been so helpful. I can totally see this with a turtleneck and/or leggings. I've tried it on with a camisole. That worked out nicely. I was surprised to find it looked cute with both my denim jacket and an A-line velvet jacket I bought from Boden last spring.</p> <p>I bought two necklaces--which I like anyway, but they just weren't quite the right size, shape, something... </p> <p>I also shopped around for some pearls. Nothing I've seen has struck me as just the right thing, but I'll keep looking. I didn't check out Ann Taylor...so that will be next. Thanks, Joy, for the links to the pearls articles!</p> <p>Belts are more challenging with this dress, because they'd have to be just the right size to look right with the waistband.</p> <p>It's a fun challenge to see how many looks I can come up with this one dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-suggestions-for-accessories#post-78300 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 00:19:21 +0000 medusa 78300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You MADE that dress? Wow! You should start a business...</p> <p>I thought of a contrasting color camisole without reading the other comments. Pearls sound good.</p> <p>You could wear the dress with leggings, or with boots and a turtleneck in the winter. (I know, winter's a ways off, but somehow the dress made me think of that.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-suggestions-for-accessories#post-78293 Sun, 12 Jul 2009 22:34:04 +0000 Anonymous 78293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! You did a beautiful job on that dress!<br /> Your "pearls" don't need to be expensive or even real. Several members have bought a strand of chunky pearls that Ann Taylor usually carries, but you can find them everywhere. Here is a blog entry from Angie that addresses using pearls with smart casual outfits. Look through her blog entries for examples.<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2006/10/17/the-power-of-pearls/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2006/10/.....of-pearls/</a></p> <p>These entries might interest you for colors to pair with your dress:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2008/06/17/summer-mixer-orange-and-raspberry/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2008/06/.....raspberry/</a></p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2008/06/19/not-so-perfectly-pink/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2008/06/.....ctly-pink/</a></p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2009/01/19/fuchsia-a-replacement-for-red/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2009/01/.....t-for-red/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-suggestions-for-accessories#post-78280 Sun, 12 Jul 2009 16:41:06 +0000 elpgal 78280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*jaw drops* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-suggestions-for-accessories#post-78275 Sun, 12 Jul 2009 15:24:01 +0000 astanton 78275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, elpgal. I sew a lot of my own clothes, since I enjoy the process and because it's more cost-effective for me. I found this pattern in the June 2009 <a href="http://www.burdafashion.com/en/index.html">Burda</a> -- it's a German magazine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-suggestions-for-accessories#post-78240 Sun, 12 Jul 2009 04:09:20 +0000 elpgal 78240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in this dress.

You've given me so many ideas. I never would have thought of the cami. I'm going to play with these suggestions and see if I can come up with several outfits. Thanks again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-suggestions-for-accessories#post-78168 Sat, 11 Jul 2009 16:17:18 +0000 Chris 78168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought of a chunky pearl too like this -<br /> <a href="http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=383306&#038;CategoryID=43866" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/catalog/.....ryID=43866</a><br /> or this -<br /> <a href="http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=365394&#038;CategoryID=43866" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/catalog/.....ryID=43866</a></p> <p> but if you want something else:</p> <p>A silver link necklace - something in this fashion (or with even links but I couldn't find a pic) - <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3052695/0~2376779~6008000~6024156~6024234~6024250?mediumthumbnail=Y&#038;origin=category&#038;searchtype=&#038;pbo=6024250&#038;P=1" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....0&#038;P=1</a></p> <p>When I was looking at necklaces on Nordstrom site I spotted this orange and fuschia combo - posting so you can see the contrast - so pretty!<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3038092/0~2376779~6008000~6024156~6024234~6024250?mediumthumbnail=Y&#038;origin=category&#038;searchtype=&#038;pbo=6024250&#038;P=1" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....0&#038;P=1</a><br /> and these -<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3029520/0~2376779~6008000~6024156~6024255?mediumthumbnail=Y&#038;origin=category&#038;searchtype=&#038;pbo=6024255&#038;P=1" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....5&#038;P=1</a></p> <p>I love necklaces so that was my focus. You could do a lot with the dress. Wear a contrasting color cami under it and do silver accessories and a modern bag.<br /> Do up the glam aspect with the pearls and a heel.<br /> Good choice for many possibilities! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-suggestions-for-accessories#post-78150 Sat, 11 Jul 2009 14:47:09 +0000 astanton 78150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Sihaya! I'm surprised people are suggesting pearls. They seem like the kind of thing you'd wear with silk or another fancy fabric--this is more like t-shirt material. Hmm...I'm going to have to give it a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-suggestions-for-accessories#post-78144 Sat, 11 Jul 2009 13:29:27 +0000 Sihaya 78144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so pretty and you look great in the dress! The first thing that came to mind without have read the rest of the comments was pearls. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-suggestions-for-accessories#post-78066 Fri, 10 Jul 2009 22:49:00 +0000 astanton 78066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great! I'm going shopping this weekend. I'll be sure to share what I find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-suggestions-for-accessories#post-78064 Fri, 10 Jul 2009 22:41:52 +0000 Alecia 78064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second the pearls. That would be so fab.</p> <p>I could also see a necklace with a pendant. Or an arm of bangles. A scarf around your neck in all the colors Dani suggested would be nice, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-suggestions-for-accessories#post-78061 Fri, 10 Jul 2009 22:24:58 +0000 astanton 78061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Dani. I'm mostly planning on wearing this as a casual day dress. </p> <p>I had never even considered pairing this with orange. I'm going to have to try that! Turquoise is something I could definitely see. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-suggestions-for-accessories#post-78057 Fri, 10 Jul 2009 21:44:43 +0000 Dani 78057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely dress. How are you going to be wearing this dress...casual day dress, going to events dress, etc? </p> <p>Fun, chunky pearls would be neat for a necklace or a chunky turquoise necklace as well. Fuchsia and orange are fun together, if you can swing an orange purse or other small accessory. </p> <p>A belt could be an interesting possibility as well. I'm sure others will chime in to give more opinions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-suggestions-for-accessories#post-78053 Fri, 10 Jul 2009 21:27:47 +0000 astanton 78053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just got a <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/quixoticpixels/sets/72157621242448842/">new dress</a>, which I love. The problem is, I'm not sure what type of jewelry or shoes to wear with it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated--especially if you can show me a pictures of possible items. </p>
