For a wedding... I need shoes, some type of sweater, and jewelry. I prefer a wedge type shoe since my ability to walk in heels is about as good as my fashion sense ;)

The background of the dress is navy blue in case you can't tell from the pic.

Thanks in advance!

That dress is really pretty! It looks like there are greys in the pattern so I think a light grey/pewter cardigan would go well with it. Here are a few cardigans--one of them is beige instead of grey, but it might work with the dress if the dress has beige in it instead of grey. There are lots of good choices of cardigans at Boden. Or you could pull the green out in the dress and do a cardigan in that color.

For shoes, could you do a small heel? Something like this shoe but with a lower heel?

Oh I like the second two boden sweaters a lot! (I've never purchased anything from there either!).

I definitely could do that heel. I'm never sure on what shape/color shoe goes with what styles :dizzy:

Pretty dress! With that neckline, I'd skip a necklace. Do you wear earrings? A bracket would be good too or a flashy ring.

I agree with crl that with that neckline you wouldn't want much but i think pearls would be really pretty. Or you could skip the necklace and get some chandelier earrlings.
