Zara dress/Pewter heels

After loading up on fall items (pics coming soon) I decided I needed a few more practical purchases for the never ending summer season.
Dress is Zara (meant to be casual or evening) and the shoes are Steve Madden Riddgge (I have the black, and wanted the nude patent but they were gone...what do you think of the pewter?)
Also, I tried on lots of nail polish at Nordstrom and I'm curious which ones get your vote. I bought two but am thinking of taking one back in order to get another one I think I like better. There really are six colors represented.

Great dress, and LOVE the pewter shoes, so versatile. I have a hard time seeing the differences in the lighter polish colors, but prefer the most neutral.

what a nice cool looking dress!
I like the pewter shoes, and the polish on your pointer, middle and pinkie fingers of your ring hand get my vote. I really don't care for either of the thumb polishes and the ring finger polish on ring hand seems a bit yellowish for your skin tone.

I love the dress on you--the color is brilliant and the cut looks fresh and modern to my eye. I wonder about cuffing the sleeves? Could look cute, though this might just be my own thing :). The pendant is fab, and the shoes look gorgeous. I am hopeless with nail polish, but I do like the silvery ones on your three fingers for summer (middle through pinky in the first pic). I could see the olive one working well for fall, somehow.

Ooooooh, do I ever love you in cobalt! I like the color pewter quite a bit and I think they are harder to find than nude, so good score here.

For the nail polish, I vote the greige taupe color. Reminds me of a polish I have that is quite versatile for fall. Is the olive one Chanel Peridot?

My thumbs are both Butter London (the olive is new for NAS) and my fingers are all Chanel. The ring finger is Peridot.

Love you in that blue and the dress looks perfect for summer! I'm a huge pewter shoe fan - still considered a neutral but not a boring neutral!

I can't discern the lighter shades, but I like your index finger in #5 and your bronzy thumb in #6.

I never knew about trying on polish at Nordies - oh boy, my daughter will be in hog heaven when she hears that

Love how the pewter wedges works with this dress, Sarah.
The dress is lovely on you as usual. I prefer the olive and the black nail polish. I think both would be very cool and stylish with your polished style- (a bit unexpected).

You can get away with wilder colors because of the classic and polished elements to your style.

Really?! Wow, Peridot is a lot more frosty than I imagined. I'm not so sure I'm ready for frost finishes to be back yet. They are the most pain in the butt finish to apply quickly.

Jonesy, your suggestion is brilliant. I can't wait to try it!!

Great dress, I love this color. If you keep this dress then I really reinforce my nay vote for the NAS top in your other thread that is the color. Why repeat the same color right? The dress is lovely with the pendant. I'm only ok on the shoes. They seem very shiny, which makes me think they are dressy and would not work well casual. Do you want a "dressy" shoe? For the nails, I really like pointer finger and pinky fingers in #5 and the darker thumb in #6. The green in #6 is ok, but I don't think it will "go" with your overall color palette too often.

This dress is gorgeous on you - and those shoes! I love it. (I'm hopeless about nail polish colors, but I do like the silver)

Fab dress and shoes! No help on nail colour but look forward to seeing what you end up with.

I adore this color and wish we had a Zara here! Looks very versatile and the necklace is great.

You absolutely shine in this dress color. Like the polish on your pointy and middle fingers.

What a great dress. The colour and style look fabulous on you. The pewter is a lovely colour and I think suit your style very well.

I am a fan of the pointer finger nailpolish but that is just a personal thing. The only ones I don't love with your skintone are the ring finger and olive colour.

I just saw on Refinery29 that this blue is the IT color to have for fall! Love the exposed zipper on the back too! You look great!

Pretty dress, that strong blue looks great on you! I prefer the black, olive and erhm.. middle finger polishes for fall, and the pointer/pinky for summer

With such shiny shoes I wish the necklace were a bit more slick; maybe black plastic and 80's inspired?

I love the frosty colors (I tend to do this type of polish in winter). I also adore olive polish. I wore a muted brownish shade of olive last fall.

For this outfit you need orange polish! (-:

Beautiful! You know that this is my kind of dress

Love this dress on you! And I'm with Jonesy would love to see it with the sleeves cuffed. Also as more of a tunic with a belt and the top part a bit blouson. Make sense? The shoes are also a definite score.
I'm horrible at picking nail polish for others, so I'm of no help there.

Thanks! I will keep the dress.
My only fear in belting it is that it will be too short. I like it open and airy, though. Perfect for the heat!
I decided to keep both thumb colors and ordered one of the Chanels. I've never had this much fun with nail polish.
