The colours are really great on you. And I agree that accessories should be minimal -- there's enough interest in the dress itself. I'd do what rabbit suggests and play around with footwear. I kind of like the booties, actually.  Beth Ann on "My 50 cent dress....shoes?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-50-cent-dressshoes#post-1297032 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 21:43:40 +0000 Beth Ann 1297032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sounds like you have great thrifting skills!  I like the idea of oxfords, sneaks, or gladiator sandals for shoes.  I think a cuff bracelet would look terrific, but agree that accessories should be kept simple. rabbit on "My 50 cent dress....shoes?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-50-cent-dressshoes#post-1297013 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 21:22:23 +0000 rabbit 1297013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Really fun dress!   I'd try various flats, sandals, and sneakers until you find a combo you like.  You can play off the dressy femininity of the skirt, or the casual androgyny of the top which is a cool juxtaposition.  Try the peach converse!   I wouldn't wear any other accessories, unless you had a topper that worked or a bag that complemented it.   I might also try tucking the bow in to see how you like that division at the middle without it.   It might also give you an option of wearing a belt (might or might not work, but if it does, it could possibly tie into the shoes). Great haul at the thrift store :D rachylou on "My 50 cent dress....shoes?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-50-cent-dressshoes#post-1296806 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 17:36:09 +0000 rachylou 1296806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Awesome!

I have laceless converses that are like a peach; that could be fun! Thanks!

I vote no accessories except, perhaps a big watch if you have one.  Great dress! neonginger on "My 50 cent dress....shoes?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-50-cent-dressshoes#post-1296635 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 15:01:01 +0000 neonginger 1296635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think that this is a really fun look!!! I agree that the booties aren't working. Perhaps a ballet flat or oxford might work. Melaine on "My 50 cent dress....shoes?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-50-cent-dressshoes#post-1296628 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 14:54:46 +0000 Melaine 1296628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My favorite thrift store had a sale this week and I really scored. I bought 2 leather weave belts, a cropped jean jacket, a brown hooded bomber jacket, Calvin Klein jean shorts, a soft purple coat, a denim skort, an army green shirt that I hope to refashion into a vest and this dress for fifty cents. (My total was less than $20!). The dress was several sizes too big as well as having two holes and a completely destroyed zipper. I brought it in on both sides, removed the zipper and restitched loose seems. This is not a dress I would have tried on in the store but I think it is really fun. I am wondering what shoes you think would be best and also if I should skip accessories or try a necklace. I thought the booties would work but once I got them on I didn't love it. Sorry for the poor pics, all I have is an ipad and DD took the shot.
