Fashion Advice

Here I come to the rescue! My friend Samantha bought this adorable dress which she'll be wearing to a wedding in Orlando in April. But she doesn't know what to wear with said dress. So I will do my best to dole out some advice. Here's Sam in the dress:

Cute, right? Ok, let's tackle shoe options first:

Clockwise from the top, I included your standard black pump; you can never go wrong with this option. I like the t-strap Seychelles pump because the colors kind of match the dress and it's an all-around interesting shoe. If you prefer a wedge, I really like this peep toe one from J. Crew; very simple. If you prefer some major height, these GUESS pumps are super sexy. If you prefer something flat, I love this Seychelles sandal; strappy and fun. Last is my personal favorite: another wedge, with less height. The simple black color would look super classy with the dress.

Jewelry: Because the beading around the neckline of the dress is kind of the main snazzy focal point of the outfit, I think you should go with a bracelet or ring, just so you don't overdo the snazz :) Not saying that your bracelet/ring can't be awesome. I love statement rings (especially that flower one from Anthropologie); and places like Forever 21 have such fun jewelry for super cheap. Oh, and I'm partial to gold jewelry rather than silver for this particular outfit.

Extra credit: since your outfit is mostly a black/metallic palette, I say go for a fun/unusual color on your nails. Sparkly red, deep plum, or an opaque turquoise-gray. Rock some bronzy cheeks and eyes, since it's Orlando and you want to look hella sun-kissed. And a sheer berry-colored balm will just seal the package. Don't forget some cute sunglasses if it's a daytime wedding, and a fun clutch to put your necessities in.

Hope this helps, Sam!
