I'm going to be carting this dress around everywhere with me in case I stumble across some sort of accessory that might go with it now. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I think I'm either going with silver shoes + cream/white bag with silver accents, or black (delicate, strappy type) accessories after reading L'Abielle's comment. Both options sound great and look great in my mind, all that's left is to do some trying on and see which I like better on. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I love this dress so much, it's incredibly flattering for a larger figure (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.boohoo.com/plus-liz-chiffon-frill-open-shoulder-dress/PZZ95255-357-51.html">http://www.boohoo.com/plus-liz.....57-51.html</a> there's the link in case any other plus size ladies have a formal/semi-formal event coming up) and I feel confident in it, so as long as the accessories keep me feeling flattered and confident I'll be happy :)<br /></div></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-outfit-help-please#post-1924051 Thu, 31 May 2018 00:06:19 +0000 tulle 1924051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Completely agree with all who recommend light metallic (silver or cool pale rose metallic) shoes, and a white or cream bag, solid or patterned.&nbsp; Sounds like a lovely outfit--have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-outfit-help-please#post-1924047 Wed, 30 May 2018 23:57:08 +0000 Anonymous 1924047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>SARAH- if you go to amazon and search "beaded purses" some great options come up including vintage like ones. <br /></div><div><a rel="nofollow" href="https://smile.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;field-keywords=beaded+purses+evening+bags+&amp;rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Abeaded+purses+evening+bags">https://smile.amazon.com/s/ref.....ed+purses+</a>+<br /></div><div> I don't think the metallic bag and shoes is needed and think a cute beaded one offers option for weddings and date night more than metallic purse.</div><div>I would still stick with silver footwear though.</div><div>eta: oops- sorry- I gave you US link to Amazon though I bet UK Amazon would have options too.<br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-outfit-help-please#post-1924007 Wed, 30 May 2018 20:38:32 +0000 L'Abeille 1924007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Going against the flow here, just because you described your Snow White personal colouring. If you normally live in black and grey, and your first instinct is to pair the mint with black, I suspect you may need a high level of contrast to look and feel like yourself.&nbsp;</p> <p>By all means, try on the outfit with some pale colours, metallics, complementary pastels and whatever. But also try it with black or navy footwear -- something to bookend the darkness of your hair and brows. (Make sure the style is relatively open/light/ethereal, like an ankle-strap heeled sandal, rather than clunky like a boot.) Look in the mirror, and take pictures even just for yourself to look at, because you just might feel more "you" in the contrast level that was your automatic go-to. And feeling comfortable in your skin, rather than trying to be someone else, will add a level of ease to the meet-the-family situation, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-outfit-help-please#post-1923997 Wed, 30 May 2018 20:15:46 +0000 Sal 1923997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree silver shoes would be great - and no need to match bag - it could be pink or white for example. I hope you have a fab time - I am off to a wedding this weekend too!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-outfit-help-please#post-1923996 Wed, 30 May 2018 20:13:38 +0000 Suz 1923996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You don't have to match the bag with the shoes. You could get a white or cream or even a floral bag! Or one with silver in it rather than all silver. You're in luck because there are lots of silver footwear options out there this year.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-outfit-help-please#post-1923986 Wed, 30 May 2018 18:49:28 +0000 Sarah J 1923986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>That's why I was leaning towards white, I'd love a strappy silver heel for my shoes but I've never seen a silver bag that didn't look a bit...tin foil-y? <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I'm definitely a delicate jewellery person anyway, the only "chunky" jewelerry I have is a stretcher in my ear that's solid black onyx, but I'm going to try and find something less bulky for this.</div><div><br /></div><div>But yes, all in all I'm sure they'll like me much better smiling in a slightly off outfit than moody in a perfect one haha <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-outfit-help-please#post-1923985 Wed, 30 May 2018 18:48:05 +0000 Carla 1923985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Metallic - silver. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-outfit-help-please#post-1923980 Wed, 30 May 2018 18:19:05 +0000 Anonymous 1923980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I am on Team: Metallic&nbsp; for the footwear but feel with icy/mint dress you might want to stick with silver as they are both "cool".&nbsp; <br /></div><div>Same with your jewelry picks although sometimes I love mixing metals and it can look great too when either really delicate or really chunky (my thought is this occasion calls for a more delicate side).</div><div>Your dress sounds beautiful and I hope you post a pic.</div><div>I know this is a really big deal on so many levels- but I still think your BEST&nbsp; ACCESSORY should be be a wonderful, warm, genuine SMILE.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-outfit-help-please#post-1923971 Wed, 30 May 2018 17:32:51 +0000 Sarah J 1923971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the idea of metallics in shoes, but would the bag need to be metallic too?

Your dress sounds lovely and should look beautiful on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>White or cream would be lovely for accessories. So would a metallic like silver or rose gold. You could try blush (not sure it would work, it would depend on the tone). Or a pink tone (soft or bright) or peach?&nbsp;</p> <p>Another dark option (besides black) would be navy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-outfit-help-please#post-1923965 Wed, 30 May 2018 16:54:27 +0000 DonnaF 1923965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about metallic? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-outfit-help-please#post-1923959 Wed, 30 May 2018 16:30:14 +0000 Sarah J 1923959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi!</p> <p><div>I'm new to the forum, I love fashion but stopped really putting the effort in with it when I gained weight a couple of years ago...however an occasion is coming up that I <i>have</i> to look halfway decent for!</div><div><br /></div><div>I'm going to my boyfriend's mothers wedding in September, and found the perfect dress...but now I'm stuck on the accessories. Obviously, I want to look good because this will be the first time I'm meeting a lot of his family. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I'm wearing a mint green chiffon dress (closer to icey/white-green than&nbsp; strong mint) that's roughly knee length in the front and full length in the back. It has spaghetti straps with an extra "strap" (it's not really a strap, I just don't know what it's called) that hangs off my shoulders, like a cold-shoulder top only it's not a sleeve, just a strip of floaty material. Has an almost grecian vibe about it I'd say. Lovely and floaty, I'd post a picture if I could. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I'm struggling to figure out the best way to accessorize it. I love black with mint green, but I'm not sure if that would make me stand out too much. My other preferred accessory colours are white/cream or nude, but I've read that mint green often looks nice with other pastel colours, and since this is the first time my boyfriend will see my not only dressed up, but in something other than black/grey/a combination of the two, I'd like to nail the outfit if I can! <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Please help me out, all suggestions and opinions are welcome because I'm clueless! <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Ps, I'm a very light skin tone, (usually the palest foundation colour), I think my undertone is either cool or neutral, I have very dark brown hair (often mistaken for black) and brown eyes. <br /></div> </p>
