I find Revlon Red is a suit all shade which was worn by the movie stars in the golden age of Hollywood.</p> <p>I also love red lips because it simplifies my make up routine. I wear concealer where needed, add one coat of brown/black mascara and my red lipstick (which I wear as a stain) and i am ready to leave in 90 seconds.</p> <p>The christening may not be occasion to try red lips for the first time but I urge you to give it a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-and-accessories-should-i-wear/page/2#post-87126 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 15:18:39 +0000 mummy2thea 87126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have never worn red lipstick in my life! It scares the hell out of me if I am being honest! lol! The chances of me staying pale after 3 weeks in Cyprus is slim to nil. I know its bad for me but I adore lying in the sun. I will probably go for fairly neutral makeup, and a gloss lip, might try reddy shade but not sure it really suits me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-and-accessories-should-i-wear/page/2#post-87115 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 14:42:40 +0000 Sarah 87115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely dress! I did like the black shoes, but can see why the purple is a good option for the event.<br /> The Chanel inspiration photo was lovely. Have you considered staying pale and creamy and wearing a bold red lip and champagne cream eyeshadow? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-and-accessories-should-i-wear/page/2#post-87111 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 14:35:15 +0000 mummy2thea 87111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lol I wasn't acutally standing on the dress!!! </p> <p>RoseandJoan - We call her Thea for short her full name is Sothea, bit of a mixture of Sophia and Thea which mean "goddess" in Greek (where my husband is from).</p> <p>I am pretty comfy with the outfit, well almost, could have done with the next size of shoes but after trying every branch in Dubai I settled for squeezing lol! what we do to try and look good! or should I say fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-and-accessories-should-i-wear#post-87094 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 13:36:17 +0000 rute 87094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the plum with the cream, the shoes are great!<br /> Your daughter is lovely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-and-accessories-should-i-wear#post-87083 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 12:37:56 +0000 RoseandJoan 87083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colour combination is perfect and the shoes are more elegant in style in my opinion. I think the smile in the picture says it all you look very confortable with this look. The second picture shocked me, never, ever stand on your beautiful dress again.</p> <p>By the way I have a daughter Teah, which is a bit of a coincidence. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-and-accessories-should-i-wear#post-87081 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 12:20:01 +0000 mummy2thea 87081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got the shoes from Zara they had them in plum or navy suede. I thought plum would be warmer and also be funky with jeans etc afterwards.</p> <p>Seriously need to excuse the mess of my livingroom, hubby is playing in tournament tomorrow so the clubs have been brought home much to my dismay!! everything else is my mess lol!</p> <p><a href="http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa279/vmitch12/18th001.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i196.photobucket.com/al.....8th001.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa279/vmitch12/18th003.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i196.photobucket.com/al.....8th003.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-and-accessories-should-i-wear#post-87076 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 12:04:07 +0000 RoseandJoan 87076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MMmm, plum and cream sounds good enough to eat and I imagine will work beatifully in transitioning your wardrobe for Autumn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-and-accessories-should-i-wear#post-87072 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 11:42:36 +0000 rute 87072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!! Plum with cream sounds lovely! very chic! I whant to see photos!!!!!<br /> Hope your baby is better now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-and-accessories-should-i-wear#post-87068 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 11:35:56 +0000 mummy2thea 87068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>agrace - how old is your little girl? I am so looking forward to seeing Thea in her little outfit, we had a dress rehearsal the other day and she looks so so cute!</p> <p>RoseandJoan - Thea is ok after her bump she has a horrible bruise that everyone keeps asking about but apart from that she is fine.</p> <p>Update on the shoes - my husband hated them with the dress!!! He agreed that black looked nice but they weren't quite right, so they have been returned.<br /> You might all think I am a bit mental but I have now bought plum coloured shoes and matching bag. I have yet to try them on with the dress so no idea yet what it looks like. If they are ok then I will look for same coloured earrings and maybe braclet to finish the outfit off. Hope they work, I am so fed up looking for the perfect shoes for this dress, and finding loads of random shoes that I love but can't buy lol!</p> <p>Thanks for all the helpful comments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-and-accessories-should-i-wear#post-87036 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 05:33:10 +0000 RoseandJoan 87036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have just re read my last post to you and feel it did not convey what I felt about your new purchases. I personally love the shoes and bag, I really like how the cross over on the shoes matches the cross over on the dress.</p> <p>What I was trying (unsuccessfully) in the last post to say, is that if you would feel more confortable in a sandal then go for a sandal. It is a special day for the whole family and you want to feel your best.</p> <p>I think a slight tweek to the jewellery and you will look stunning. I think the others are right and you should lose the necklace to expose your beautiful shoulder line. I think bracelets or earings or both would be better.</p> <p>Is Thea ok now after her bump? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-and-accessories-should-i-wear#post-87005 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 01:00:57 +0000 agrace 87005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually really like the black with the dress. It looks very elegant and classy. At first when I saw the initial picture I was thinking you should go with a nude or gold shoe but I really think the black is it. I have a baby girl too and I love that little dress and that you all will sort of 'match'. i think you will both look absolutely stunning! If you feel the dress does not fit as well as you would like, can you get it taken in? </p> <p>Btw, I think I know why the black shoes look so good...your hair color! I remember Angie blogging about sometimes shoes look good that sort of match our hair color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-and-accessories-should-i-wear#post-86927 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 18:30:01 +0000 medusa 86927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>M2T, I'm late here and you already have great suggestions. But I had to say, that dress is GORGEOUS on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-and-accessories-should-i-wear#post-86793 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 13:17:08 +0000 mummy2thea 86793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a look at some earrings today but the problem is the holes in my ears are very close to the edge and I can't wear anything too heavy, if that makes sense?! I will keep looking to see if I can find ones that aren't too heavy, but in a black colour like suggested. I will ask my husband to look at everything together in the flesh and see what he says (not normally much use right enough). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-and-accessories-should-i-wear#post-86792 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 12:58:41 +0000 Anonymous 86792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with rute. The black accessories look great with the dress, but the necklace bothers me. Are you opposed to earrings? Instead of the necklace and with your hair up, I'm seeing black crystal chandalier earrings to frame your face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-and-accessories-should-i-wear#post-86789 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 11:49:25 +0000 rute 86789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is lovely for the occasion. Love the shoes and the bag, but i'm not sure about the necklace... because the dress has already a big colar, maybe if you wear instead nice earings and a matching bracelet... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-and-accessories-should-i-wear#post-86788 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 11:49:03 +0000 RoseandJoan 86788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope Thea is okay, it is horrible when they have a fall.</p> <p>I think you may be right and a sandal may look better than a shoe, however it is by no means a disaster. I think you have definatley lost weight since the first photos were taken.</p> <p>I have also had a bad mornings shopping. I set out to buy jeans and came home with just the belt I posted earlier. Double buggies and summer sale rales are not a match made in heaven.</p> <p>As Angie is back today I am sure she will give you the right guidance with the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-and-accessories-should-i-wear#post-86784 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 11:15:58 +0000 mummy2thea 86784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have just got back from morning of shopping trying to find the black shoes and accessories to match this dress. I bought shoes and matching bag from Ninewest but I am really not sure about them. I have tried them on with the dress (necklace is one I already had but I won't wear it as its got gold in it and the bag hardware is silver). I feel that they are a bit clumpy, they have a hidden platform and quite a high heel too. I am now having second thoughts about the whole outfit as it appears that I have lost a bit of weight and the dress seems a bit big now! arghh!</p> <p>close up<br /> <a href="http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa279/vmitch12/clothes/17th003.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i196.photobucket.com/al.....7th003.jpg</a></p> <p>with dress<br /> <a href="http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa279/vmitch12/clothes/17th001.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i196.photobucket.com/al.....7th001.jpg</a></p> <p>better pic of bag<br /> <a href="http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa279/vmitch12/clothes/17th002.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i196.photobucket.com/al.....7th002.jpg</a></p> <p>Wasn't the best morning shopping ang I got home to find my baby girl has a huge bump on her head from falling over! Be honest if you think they should be returned they will be promptly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-and-accessories-should-i-wear#post-85402 Mon, 10 Aug 2009 13:31:28 +0000 mummy2thea 85402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok I am on a mission now to find the perfect black accessories to match this dress. If anyone comes up with anything else please do share.</p> <p>Thanks for all the help so far. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-and-accessories-should-i-wear#post-85385 Mon, 10 Aug 2009 12:26:33 +0000 RoseandJoan 85385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I definately think a black handbag and shoes would work. I would keep your hair up and for practical reasons the black studs sound great. I do not fancy having my earlobes tugged during the ceremony and having to apologise to the official for swearing. For the rest of the jewellery I would be tempted to mix black beads, clear crystals and pearls. </p> <p>It would be interesting to see if the others agree. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-and-accessories-should-i-wear#post-85364 Mon, 10 Aug 2009 08:39:21 +0000 mummy2thea 85364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>RoseandJoan I think you have possibly nailed it with this suggestion. I hadn't even considered black but after seeing the Chanel collection I think it could work really well. I have black shoes which I will try and post a pic soon, I would buy new ones but al least this would give the general idea. So do you thin pearls with black shoes and bag, or also blackish necklace? I am going to have my hair up so possibly blackish stud type earrings would be nice? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-and-accessories-should-i-wear#post-85363 Mon, 10 Aug 2009 08:11:33 +0000 RoseandJoan 85363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>if you think nude may be too samey, try the pearls with black accesories for a very Chanel inspired look.</p> <p><a href="http://www.vogue.co.uk/fashion/show.aspx/full-length-photos/id,5470/Page,4#" rel="nofollow">http://www.vogue.co.uk/fashion.....70/Page,4#</a></p> <p>look 51 is great and the black may provide a link to your husband's suit if he is wearing black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-and-accessories-should-i-wear#post-85355 Mon, 10 Aug 2009 07:24:29 +0000 chewyspaghetti 85355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try them on and post a pic. If you get shoes very close to your skin tone, then they sort of disappear and leave a very long leg line and allow the focus to stay up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-and-accessories-should-i-wear#post-85351 Mon, 10 Aug 2009 07:19:17 +0000 mummy2thea 85351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I noticed that there is a lot of pearl effect jewellery in the shops just now so something like that would be easy to find. I have cream almond toe heels but thought they looked a bit too samey iykwim?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-and-accessories-should-i-wear#post-85347 Mon, 10 Aug 2009 06:20:14 +0000 chewyspaghetti 85347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that a simple necklace would actually help keep the focus up where the detail of the dress is. If it were me, I'd wear a chunky pearl bead choker and shoes that were heeled but as close to your skin tone as you can find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-and-accessories-should-i-wear#post-85332 Mon, 10 Aug 2009 05:05:56 +0000 mummy2thea 85332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is a picture of the gold sandals with the dress. Excuse the mess of my hair! I thought that bangle and earrings might work with it rather than a necklace as it would be too fussy like you said.</p> <p><a href="http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa279/vmitch12/clothes/9th002.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i196.photobucket.com/al.....9th002.jpg</a></p> <p>looking at this picture again I am thinking it doesn't quite look right, I'll have a look for more options if I go out today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-and-accessories-should-i-wear#post-85234 Sun, 09 Aug 2009 21:37:51 +0000 Mac 85234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! That dress is incredible and looks lovely on you; I'm jealous! I'd keep the accessories fairly simple and definitely no necklace since you have a lot going on around your neck and upper chest with the dress. Maybe a simple gold cuff bracelet and some gorgeous shoes - gold sandals can be "day" and "christening" depending on the style. If you feel washed out, a good blush and lipstick can serve to brighten you, no problem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-and-accessories-should-i-wear#post-85217 Sun, 09 Aug 2009 20:41:27 +0000 bella 85217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you post a picture of the strappy sandals, preferably with the dress? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-and-accessories-should-i-wear#post-85206 Sun, 09 Aug 2009 19:54:08 +0000 chewyspaghetti 85206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! I agree with the other ladies- simple accessories and nude heels. Gold or pearls would look nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-and-accessories-should-i-wear#post-85201 Sun, 09 Aug 2009 19:34:12 +0000 RoseandJoan 85201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also agree with Chris and think a nude/tan platform shoe would look fantastic.</p> <p>The dress is fab </p>
