I think one of the last ironclad fashion rules is "don't wear white to a wedding," and I don't think the stripes save this dress from breaking that rule! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-should-i-accessorize-this-dress-for-a-wedding#post-706979 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 03:54:20 +0000 KathyL 706979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Deborah, it seems a little casual for a golf course resort wedding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-should-i-accessorize-this-dress-for-a-wedding#post-706933 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 02:41:24 +0000 Deborah 706933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This dress looks a little casual for wedding but keep in mind I am not familiar with the environment or your fiendship group. Is there a dress code for the wedding as that would help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-should-i-accessorize-this-dress-for-a-wedding#post-706913 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 02:27:00 +0000 Ginkgo 706913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress looks lovely with your coloring. How about a scarf or shawl in celadon? This would leave your hair as the main accent against the grey dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-should-i-accessorize-this-dress-for-a-wedding#post-706621 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 21:27:57 +0000 Anonymous 706621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Which golf course? (I am in Peterborough) -- some are snootier than others! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-should-i-accessorize-this-dress-for-a-wedding#post-706603 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 21:15:08 +0000 JR 706603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now it's me who's sorry. I managed to miss some of the information you did give in the first post.</p> <p>Hmm, could be getting cool in the evening by then, so a jacket is probably the way to go. I agree with Joy that a rich colour would make it feel less summery.</p> <p>The scoop neck provides good opportunities for a statement necklace too, if you're so inclined. Again, this is something else you could bookend with your shoe colour.</p> <p>Have fun, and let us know which way you're tilting. Once you've chosen one of the accessories, it will be easier to make suggestions on the others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-should-i-accessorize-this-dress-for-a-wedding#post-706577 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 20:57:10 +0000 Anonymous 706577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress looks pretty summery for September unless it's the first week, especially since it's mostly white. Adding a jacket and shoes in a color like deep red or green or black could make it more of the season. If you might be walking on the grass at all, you may want wedges or flats instead of heels that could sink into the ground.<br /> Being outside in the daylight, you'll want to keep makeup very natural. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-should-i-accessorize-this-dress-for-a-wedding#post-706478 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 18:28:58 +0000 sarah131313 706478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, here are some more details: </p> <p>The wedding is taking place at 4pm at a Golf course Resort in Peterborough, ON. I'm 25 years old. Have long, strawberry blonde hair, pale skin, green eyes, 5"8. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-should-i-accessorize-this-dress-for-a-wedding#post-706473 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 18:21:25 +0000 JR 706473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, you have to have been a member for at least 10 days to add pictures directly.</p> <p>Not too sure about whether it's too white or not; I am always bad at protocol. I think the stripes save it, but hopefully others will chime in on this.</p> <p>I'm finding it very hard to answer your question, knowing nothing about you, where the wedding is taking place, and all the rest. Social context makes a huge difference: small town Arizona dresses very differently than NYC. I don't know what your age or style are, what you're aiming for. I could tell you how I would wear it, but would that be helpful?</p> <p>It's a rather casual look for a wedding, IMO, so I would be aiming to dress it up. Chandelier earrings, well-styled hair, although simple. An intricate updo would be overkill. A blue floral pashmina or silk shawl would provide extra colour to move away from the white look and the extra layer for style and warmth, although a cotton georgette might be more appropriate with the fabric of the dress; hard to tell. Or a short open jacket in a colour that makes your heart sing. I had a great light pink one with silver threads in it that I bought for my son's wedding.</p> <p>If you're adding colour to the outfit, add shoes that echo the colour. Pumps are a classic and go with almost anything, peep toes and sling backs are good options if the weather will be warm. Silver would be another option, or a colour that echoes your hair.</p> <p>All of this depends, of course, on how they work together.</p> <p>If you added a picture of you actually wearing the dress, and some indication of how casual or formal you want to go, I'm sure you'd get a lot more answers. As it is, it feels like shooting in the dark. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-should-i-accessorize-this-dress-for-a-wedding#post-706464 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 18:13:23 +0000 cjh 706464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this dress. It is cute and interesting. As to appropriate, it depends on the time of September, time of day, venue, level of dressiness of the wedding, etc. To me, those are all subtle details that help me decide what to wear to a wedding. This dress would work well for a late summer, warm, afternoon, non dressy, semi-casual, church or garden wedding.</p> <p>Probably this would go nicely with a casual updo or sweet curls, strappy high sandals in tan or nude, maybe even a bright color like red or yellow?, a summery straw clutch. Jewelry - one of those big bead necklaces like this?<br /> <a href="http://www.google.com/imgres?start=90&#038;hl=en&#038;sa=X&#038;biw=1280&#038;bih=882&#038;tbm=isch&#038;prmd=imvns&#038;tbnid=dAIFWubmN5ChLM:&#038;imgrefurl=http://www.totallycollegiate.com/orange-graduated-bead-necklace.html&#038;imgurl=http://www.totallycollegiate.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/o/r/orange-graduated-bead-neckl.jpg&#038;w=418&#038;h=520&#038;ei=RFs-UPHtOYmFrAHN14G4DA&#038;zoom=1&#038;iact=hc&#038;vpx=182&#038;vpy=332&#038;dur=210&#038;hovh=250&#038;hovw=201&#038;tx=138&#038;ty=186&#038;sig=116672357170857656027&#038;page=4&#038;tbnh=161&#038;tbnw=129&#038;ndsp=28&#038;ved=1t:429,r:22,s:90,i:76" rel="nofollow">http://www.google.com/imgres?s.....,s:90,i:76</a></p> <p>As to makeup and nails - you got me.
