Shoes for dress?

[ilovedpp]

It's supposed to be rainy and in the 50's for the wedding that I'm going to this weekend but I refuse to wear tights.  It's all indoors at a hotel, fairly casual.  Does this mint cardigan work at all with this dress (it's navy)?  Or is it too long, do I need something cropped?

Also, which shoes?

A) closed toe nude pumps


B) open toed wedges (the most comfy but maybe too casual)


C) peep toe sling back (least comfy)

As far as the shoes go- I'd suggest either #1 or #3 out of those. I think the middle ones are too casual.

The cardigan- I like the color and the idea of mint/navy together with a nude shoe... but I feel like that cardigan is a little too long it really dresses down the dress. I wouldn't suggest a cropped cardi though (i'm not a cropped cardigan person- so that's just personal opinion) but maybe one that's a little shorter.

What are you doing for accessories?

Thanks aak0517. I'm not a hug fan of cropped cardigan's either but I can't find something in between.

Since the neckline has ruffles, I was going to skip a necklace and just do gold, dangly earrings and a gold bracelet. I have a blue clutch too.

That's right, I'm sorry, I forgot about the top of the dress that you PIP'd already.

I like the earrings and bracelet idea with it, especially with a nude shoe.

I also like #1 or #3. Do you have a shawl you can use? If it's all indoors you just need something quick to cover up with, right?

I vote shoe #1.
Any chance you have a blazer?
I feel like any cardigan, cropped or not, will dress this down too much for a wedding. My second choice would be a shawl before a cardigan.

I agree with this. The cardi color is cute with the dress, but it's too casual and completely dresses down the look of the dress/outfit.

The only blazer I have is black, so a no go with the navy dress. I will look when I'm out shopping today. I do not have a shawl, lots of scarves though. Hmmm, I'm going out shopping this afternoon so I will look. I agree, the cardigan isn't dressy. If worse comes to worse, I'll just wear the cardi into the car and building and then take it right off when I get inside I guess.

Thanks ladies!

I only like the first shoes with the dress and for the occasion.

I agree about a shawl. I think a cardigan, no matter the length, dresses it down too much. I like the idea of mint + navy though.

I agree, a pashmina might be a good option. I love the idea of the mint with it for sure!
I have a wedding this weekend too (that I posted about with a bunch of PIP's awhile back). Boo for crap weather!!!

What did you decide on for your final look? You'll have to pip when you're all ready to go!
