In the end, I think I'm going to go the Alexa/Zoe route and do closed black pumps which have a vintage look with a black top handle bag. Also, I will wear the motojacket I think the bride will be cool with it since she has worn motojackets to weddings herself. And even though I thought I wouldn't mess with the neckline, I found this super awesome gold chandelier style choker that really gives the outfit the overall look I want. I tried to find pics online but dont see any! Going to keep trying though cause it's an awesome necklace. I got it from Top Shop's vintage jewelry collection.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-rock-up-this-dress#post-1644306 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 01:45:39 +0000 Anonymous 1644306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy is dead right. &nbsp;Top handled bag is definitely a Zoe look. Maybe Alexa too in this context. &nbsp;It's a super-sexy dress, so way, way out of my experience and comfort zone , but if I could wear it, I'd pair it with a luxe, drapey black or stone leather jacket and Janet's Rockstud heels. &nbsp;I'd go easy on the jewellery - that kind of shoe with that dress is making a bold enough statement as it is. &nbsp;I'd go with tiny, diamante skulls, or studs echoing the shape of the stud in the shoe , (in the way of an earring ) and a similar style of cocktail ring . Alexa eyeliner, bold lips, nails done in a contrasting colour and undone hair. &nbsp;Man I wish I could wear things like this! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-rock-up-this-dress#post-1644302 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 01:38:43 +0000 Anonymous 1644302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about a cuff on each wrist? Matching ones. Metal or even leather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-rock-up-this-dress#post-1644197 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 21:38:24 +0000 Anonymous 1644197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not a print person, but I have to say that is a lovely dress.&nbsp; All it needs, really, is some simple accessories, as already suggested by others.&nbsp; Have a great time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-rock-up-this-dress#post-1644194 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 21:34:27 +0000 Eliza 1644194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress is beautiful and quite dramatic. Like others, I'd go for a cuff or earrings, clutch or footwear that gives a nod to your rocker side. The rock stud style shoes would work well. Have fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-rock-up-this-dress#post-1644162 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 19:07:37 +0000 BlondeAmbition 1644162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow I love the dress! This may not be quite right for a wedding but you could try some peep toe stiletto booties <a href="http://m.shoespie.com/product/11439795.html?tb_from=paid_adwords_shopping&#038;adword_mt=&#038;adword_ct=88725372202&#038;adword_kw=&#038;adword_pos=1o10&#038;adword_pl=&#038;adword_net=g&#038;adword_tar=&#038;adw_id=7316354171_359276002_27309629962_pla-127558508423&#038;gclid=CN7x4KynjMwCFYGFaQod6GgJPQ" rel="nofollow">http://m.shoespie.com/product/.....aQod6GgJPQ</a><br /> You could also try finding a statement skull ring and a studded clutch, and maybe even a lace pashmina to tone down the edge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-rock-up-this-dress#post-1644158 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 19:05:17 +0000 catgirl 1644158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes to the Rockstuds (I have a fake pair) or a chunky perforated open-toed bootie if you want to be more casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-rock-up-this-dress#post-1644128 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 17:53:21 +0000 rachylou 1644128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a beautiful dress and lovely for a wedding. I think Zoe and Alexa would wear closed toe pumps with a little handled handbag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-rock-up-this-dress#post-1644019 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 14:36:38 +0000 SandyG 1644019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd love to see that floral dress with a black bra peeking out. And edgy shoes for sure, booties would be fab. Love the dress you've found! Have fun with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-rock-up-this-dress#post-1644013 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 14:06:33 +0000 April 1644013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes to the moto idea. &nbsp;If full-on leather seems a bit in-your-face for a wedding, there are tons of knit motos around at the moment -- more delicate and more comfortable. &nbsp;Scrunch up the sleeves of the jacket and add a big, non-delicate bracelet. </p> <p>ETA: I realized after posting this that I should have said my own views on weddings do not parallel the mainstream. &nbsp;I have not much patience for the level of orchestration that seems to go into things at the moment ("We'd like&nbsp;<i>all the guests&nbsp;</i>to wear pale grey and yellow, so the photos will look coordinated...") but that's me and I'm not the one getting married. &nbsp;</p> <p>Just saying, you know the bride better than I do. &nbsp;If she is someone who would faint at the thought of a guest showing up in a moto, well, maybe save that look for the next time you wear this dress. &nbsp;:)&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-rock-up-this-dress#post-1643999 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 13:15:04 +0000 BootsM. 1643999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks all so far for responses. I have a moto jacket so was thinking of going that route. And BrieN, yeah agree, I may leave the neckline and go for rings or a bracelet. And love the stud heels! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-rock-up-this-dress#post-1643998 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 13:08:23 +0000 Janet 1643998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BrieN beat me to it -- I was just going to come back and post that some studded pumps or sandals would be great. my Rockstuds are my go-to shoe for dressy occasions. I'll be wearing a floral dress for my stepson's wedding this summer, and the Rockstuds will definitely be on my feet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-rock-up-this-dress#post-1643994 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 12:58:54 +0000 BrieN 1643994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow that's a beautiful dress! &nbsp; If you want to post a photo of you in the dress we can help with hemming/tailoring if that would be helpful.</p> <p>I like the neckline as is. A lot. I agree with Janet that a ring or bracelet would add to the look.</p> <p>I would love to hear from others on the board, but I would guess that a pair of rockstud/rock star type shoes might suit your aesthetic and the dress. I have seen several brands around -- I would probably chose a nude color. &nbsp;If that turns out to be too much, then a more simple nude shoe or metallic.</p> <p>I liked the idea of a moto with this but would have to see it to be sure.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-rock-up-this-dress#post-1643991 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 12:43:28 +0000 Janet 1643991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful dress! </p> <p>I can relate to your style goals. I suspect I'm a lot older than you so I try to tone down my rocker side a bit, but I tend to keep it simple and let the "pretty" side of my style speak a little more when it comes to styling a dress like this, especially for an occasion like a wedding. </p> <p>I usually stick to adding some edge in the form of shoes and/or jewelry. There is already a lot going on in a printed dress, so I would stick to one statement piece of jewelry that adds a bit of your style -- a bold cuff or ring? -- and then some great shoes and a sleek black clutch, maybe with some shine or texture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-rock-up-this-dress#post-1643984 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 12:28:57 +0000 BootsM. 1643984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh whoops! hopefully this link works:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://images.asos-media.com/inv/media/1/6/0/2/6062061/image3xxl.jpg">http://images.asos-media.com/i.....ge3xxl.jpg</a></p> <p>but i must say this dress is quite a departure! that's why i'm not sure what to do with it but just really love the print&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-rock-up-this-dress#post-1643983 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 12:28:34 +0000 Murph11 1643983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW, what a beautiful dress! Maybe a spiked necklace, a black moto jacket draped over your shoulders, and/or killer ankle strap heels! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-rock-up-this-dress#post-1643978 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 12:24:44 +0000 Mochi 1643978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The file isn't opening. Anyway I'm very curious to see the dress and get tips on styling it. Your own style sounds really cool and relatable to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-rock-up-this-dress#post-1643972 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 12:04:26 +0000 BootsM. 1643972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi All,&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm new here and wondering if I could get some advice on a dress I'm supposed to wear for an upcoming wedding. The dress I've bought is this:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.asos.com/Hope-and-Ivy/Hope-and-Ivy-Bardot-Pencil-Dress-with-Floral-Placement-Print/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=6062061">http://www.asos.com/Hope-and-I.....int/Prod/p</a></p> <p>My style tends to be rock and artsy, with lots of black so this dress is a huge change! I was thinking about a statement necklace but I also think it looks elegant without. Also, not sure what more to do since the pattern is already quite a statement. How would you accesorize this so that it's a bit more rock and roll? Just to give some background, I like the styles of Alexa Chung, Zooey Deschanel so quirky yet dark.</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
