I do like the fisherman sandals with them and you could go lighter with the bag. Or any of the many other splendid options above. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6summer-solstice#post-2268348 Thu, 23 Jun 2022 00:50:44 +0000 Rejoiceandbe 2268348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about red canvas plimsoles? (like Keds) Or red clogs? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6summer-solstice#post-2268300 Wed, 22 Jun 2022 18:41:52 +0000 SarahD8 2268300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I like the idea of trying your lavender sneakers! </p> <p>All the light colors mentioned (cognac, taupe, metallic) sound great for this dress.</p> <p>If dark footwear, what about wearing a dark silk scarf in your hair? I think you have a dark green one with a scattered flower/fruit pattern? I don't think it has to match your footwear (at least in my non-matchy mind), just provide a hit of dark value up top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6summer-solstice#post-2268287 Wed, 22 Jun 2022 17:29:18 +0000 BlueJay 2268287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Carla! Thanks for the shout out! Yes, super humid!</p> <p>I love your dress! Such a wonderful colour and I like the style too. If you're looking for navy, Costco.ca has navy Birkenstocks! Not sure how you feel about wearing them? I haven't worn Birkies because I like having a back heel strap.&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.costco.ca/birkenstock-womens-florida-birko-flor-sandal.product.100757537.html">https://www.costco.ca/birkenst.....57537.html</a></p> <p>Straw bags at Joe Fresh!</p> <p>Lots of choices for shoes! What others have said about white or brights, but tan, cognac, gold too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6summer-solstice#post-2268276 Wed, 22 Jun 2022 15:30:34 +0000 cat2 2268276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bronze metallic flats or sandals would bookend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6summer-solstice#post-2268272 Wed, 22 Jun 2022 15:16:47 +0000 Angie 2268272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A GREAT high Summer dress, <b>Carla</b>! Nice specs match too :)</p> <p>To answer your question, I like the idea of lighter or brighter footwear and bag with a light blue dress. I have three, and I wear white, or bright finishing touches with them. See exact items in Finds.</p> <p>For you, yes to taupe, gold, cognac, and tan! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6summer-solstice#post-2268259 Wed, 22 Jun 2022 12:51:19 +0000 RobinF 2268259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hot here too! </p> <p>Love that dress! I like it with the fisherman's sandals but agree lighter would be nice for bookending. Silver or other metallic would be fun. And a tan would make for a good neutral. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6summer-solstice#post-2268253 Wed, 22 Jun 2022 12:03:29 +0000 Helena 2268253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful dress and I vote cognac for maximum summery versatility. After such a long and lovely spring, summer is asserting herself for sure ... Stay cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6summer-solstice#post-2268252 Wed, 22 Jun 2022 11:56:42 +0000 Cardiff girl 2268252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A great classic summer dress,it suits you perfectly.l would be inclined to go with light coloured shoes and bag,tan is classic but l use white/cream a lot in the summer as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6summer-solstice#post-2268249 Wed, 22 Jun 2022 11:13:08 +0000 merwoman 2268249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a great summer dress Carla, that looks so fresh and pretty on. I’m with the fabbers who are advocating &nbsp;light cognac &nbsp;sandals (bookending your lovely hair) &nbsp;and straw market bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6summer-solstice#post-2268245 Wed, 22 Jun 2022 08:07:14 +0000 Star (Lise) 2268245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous dress!&nbsp; I vote for light cognac sandals and a straw bag with a cognac trim of sorts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6summer-solstice#post-2268236 Wed, 22 Jun 2022 04:29:48 +0000 slim cat 2268236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty!

I pair my navy and white ensembles (I have several) with either hot pink or peacock purple footwear and carry a navy floral bag. Have fun. Best wishes to all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6summer-solstice#post-2268225 Wed, 22 Jun 2022 03:02:12 +0000 Anonymous 2268225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy Summer! That dress is sublime! How about pairing it with your white or lavender sneakers? I wore a dress today too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6summer-solstice#post-2268223 Wed, 22 Jun 2022 02:50:16 +0000 Carla 2268223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today was a stinkin’ hot start to summer. Like &nbsp;<b>Bluejay,&nbsp;</b>who shares the same geographical co-ordinates, I wore a dress! &nbsp;This is an Aritzia/Wilfred linen shirt dress from last summer that I really like, but I’m struggling with co-ordinating footwear after I tossed the very worn navy blue flats I wore with it last year.&nbsp;</p> <p> <div><br /></div><div>I fancy the white stitching on the new fisherman’s sandals, which matches the stitching on the thrifted Coach bag, but find the pairing of black a bit heavy in this instance, since I don’t have dark hair to ‘bookend’.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I would like to replace the defunct navy point toe flats with a similar pair (and I have a navy clutch),but I think a silver pair or taupe or light cognac would be versatile as well. &nbsp;What do you think? &nbsp;Comments/styling suggestions welcomed.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks for looking! &nbsp;</div></p>
