Shoes for HS reunion dress
Permalink Closed


My 10 year High school class reunion is coming up and I have bought this dress to wear.  It is at a local dinner club, so the attire is pretty dressy - maybe one notch below cocktail.  The dress is slightly redder IRL.  A much better photo can be found at: http://www.jessicasimpsoncollection.com/cgi-bin/cam99w/site.w?location=b2c/product.w&action=catalog&division=07&category=1400&prb=&srb=&mill=&product=W1032&result=&brands=no&frames=no&target=main&sponsor=000001 
Any suggestions on shoes and jewelry for this?    TIA!

I won't refer you to the particular style online, but for jewelry I'd leave the neckline bare, to flatter the pattern & wear dangling earrings/hoops/chandelier & or a chanky bracelet/bangle. I'd probably pick gold jewelry, the dress tone is very warm, would go with yellow gold.
For the shoes - no wedges, elegant high heel/platform heel, either a strapy sandal or a peep toe pump. Whatever you'd feel more comfortable to wear - when you're not comfortable - it shows. I'd choose from: gold leather/black suede/black patent/nude patent/nude leather/cream patent/leather.
Also - a clutch, don't try to match exactly to your shoes, can be contrast, but contrast that go together with those shoes. Can be a satin fabric in bright bold color ( woodland green, bright yellow/dk. chocolate/turquoise/black or bold multicolored print that has this red of the dress among its colors)
Enjoy the reunion, I hope you'd be the youngest & the stylish looking there!

The second link is definitely a nicer picture. It's really a pretty dress.

I agree with no necklace and gold, a yellowy-brassy gold like this.

What a beautiful dress! Since the color is so bold, I'd go with very simply jewelry, like what Suasoria posted above and maybe a thin bracelet. As for shoes, I would steer clear of satin and metallic, as the dress is already very fancy (especially when you described "below cocktail"). Go for nude or black peeptoes.

Great dress! I would go with something like this:

And maybe a delicate gold necklace or earrings
