Quest for a Dress - What Color Shoes/Clutch?

Kappy

I still haven't found any other dresses that I liked better than the two "favorites" from the last batch, the Suzi Chin Maggy Boutique Print Stretch Silk Dress and the Adrianna Papell Tiered Satin & Chiffon Dress (both from Nordstrom). If I keep one or both of these dresses, what color shoes/clutches should I be looking for? I don't want anything too dainty as I feel it looks out of proportion on me. And not too high because I'm already 5'10".

Metallic shoes and clutch would work with both dresses.

Angie's right about the metallics going well. In relation to not having something to dainty I would hunt out an oversized clutch, one that feels a bit solid. I prefer these anyway but they can be hard to find.

I still vote the Suzi Chin Maggy Boutique Print Stretch Silk Dress but they are both great.

If you went with the black dress I would add some pattern with a clutch like this

Metallics would work, but if I were going with the black dress (which I absolutely would--I much prefer it to the floral), I would probably prefer to go with something colorful. Since the dress is black, you really can pick almost anything. I would probably look for a clutch with some kind of print--something like this: http://www.etsy.com/listing/26.....ink-dahlia or this: http://www.etsy.com/listing/30.....k-birds-by or this: http://www.etsy.com/listing/37.....fin-darcey

Then I would find shoes that worked with those colors. Or, if I had a pair of shoes I adored, I would use those and find a clutch that worked with them.
