Hi all, I bought a black formal gown for a wedding that I have to attend. It's long chiffon. http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/lauren-r...esults-_-2_2_D

I actually think it looks better on me than it does on this model hehe. But I need help accessorizing so it's not so black and blah. I have some ideas of my own but could use a little inspiration, help?

WELLLLLL I do love accessories Everyone's tastes are different of course but I'd go with (you'll need to look them up on the nordstrom site, I can't post links yet):

'Elements - Cordova' Multistrand Statement Necklace
'Grotto' Stone Pendant Necklace

Or do a larger earring like 'Vintage LuciteŽ' Hoop Earrings and use a simply necklace.

I'm not saying those exact things but something like that I tend to go towards classic looks with a modern feel.

What is your style? I am a retro girl so tend to gravitate toward a designer like Betsey Johnson or more classical pieces but your style may be different. The dress is black, and you are going to a wedding so I would suggest huge pops of color or white for your shoes and clutch and jewelry. Depending on what you have.

I am a huge fan of rhinestone jewelry.

My style is somewhat bohemian and fashion forward and though I'm not used to wearing jewelry that is huge I also don't go for "classic" dainty stuff. I like to make a statement. I'm thinking color! I've got gold scrappy sandals that might work but I was hoping to find sandals with multiple colorful jewels. Haven't found any yet.

Pretty dress!

I might do a longer necklace with a big pendant and bright colors. Maybe something like this?

I really like this Kate Spade necklace: http://www.katespade.com/bungalow-bo...elry-necklaces

I also need help with a dress so I'm going to post my photo on another thread. I love your dress, btw!

It's a beautiful dress, good choice.

any of those work for the shoes you're looking for?

I'd go either short chunky necklace or a very long pendant.

A bunch of bangles?

Short chunky necklace for sure. Long pendants are beautiful, wish I could wear them but my bust is pretty large and I don't like the way they hang over my chest.

Bangles, yes!!!
