Was planning on wearing this with a teal cardigan from Monsoon which has jewelly buttons. Need uber-bright shoes, tights, bag, fascinator, jewellery ideas to go with it.

It's an all day affair with no chance to change for the evening so need to (in the words of Carrie) merchandise it up so it's suitable for day and evening.

Wedding end of November.

Hmmmm I think I'd do a mustard type colour with it.

Will see what I can find to show what I mean.

Mustardy, deffo. I have some lovely big bangles in a gold/mustard colour that would look great with that dress (not that that helps you much!)

Just a thought though - does the teal cardy go exactly, because otherwise it could look a bit strange, iyswim? If the colour is not an exact match...

Very upset with you that you are refusing to mustard as it really is perfect with teal and now I'm struggling but, how about this as a colour?

I like the red

do you you think red shoes/red bag/coral red and silver jewellery ?

but what about tights? if wearing a teal dress and red shoes, what colour the thick tights?

MUSTARD!!!!!

just call it yellow if it makes you feel better

ps you are lucky that teal suits you, I tried a teal something on the other day and think I have officially found my most unflattering colour. Even worse on me than acid yellow or tangerine, and they look bad...
