Dress Advice

Ok I bought this dress last summer from Topshop and not just topshop...it's Laura @ Topshop...

Anyhoo...I havent worn it because I couldnt really decide how!

So I took the crapest photos in the world because I remembered how gorgeous it was.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Full length view.

It comes down to a wee bit below my knee. It's blue with little yellow polka-hearts all over it.

Detail

It's got a ruffly bit over the top of the chest and (dunno how clear it is) a little pink lightning bolt on the strap.

It's then sort of funked up by this:

Which is down on the bottom and sooooo purdy.

So yeh...how should I wear it? I'm up for anything really Razz

I wanna kinda wear it properly...like the cute dress its meant to be...but then maybe play with it a bit...maybe finding a bright blue belt? Or wearing a bright vest underneath or something?
I kinda suck imagining up stuff like that...
So suggest away.

What colour of shoes? I dont really wear heels...and the ones I have are red which wouldnt go, although I have black and white ones which might not either.
The only blue shoes I have are trainer type things...but Im thinking of getting some new flats. Or I have blue converse. Although I dont know if it's a wee bit too pretty to do the lily allen dress with trainers thing...
I have lots of bright pink shoes...

Also jewellery...I have silver coloured and gold and ofc I can always find something that will go!

So gimme your ideas!

KIKI! is that not the one that was a ridiculous price?!? kiki, honestly, are you rich?

i think any light coloured flats..like light pink or yellow or green or something..and a bright plasticy necklace of the same colour methinks..

That's sooo cute. I love things with hearts on them, I'm pretty much drawn towards them. It's like homing or something.

I think just wearing it with flats, and Gill's idea of the bright plasticy necklace is a goer. Flashy shoes would be too much with such a heavily patterned dress. I don't know if it needs a belt really, but a yellow one could look sweet. You mayyyy have to go shopping for shoes (yay (but nothing with skulls on them this time Razz

))

teehee well I was going to get a blue pair...because I've got a lot of blue stuff recently...but shoes are either dark blue or bright blue and Im not sure if that goes with the dress?

Hmmm..I have a black belt which they had in yellow too which was cute. Though I'm not big on yellow...

Ooooh I may indeed need to go shopping Razz

I would play up the colours of the bottom appliqué with a belt and shoes.....I THINK I see bright pink, and would go with that if it is indeed bright pink that I'm looking at. Smile

marc jacobs makes these adorable jelly flats in a rainbow of colors (i have the blue ones!) so comfortable and they'd look really cute with that dress!!

I adore topshop...I think some of it is a leeeetle expensive sometimes but hey it rules Razz

they had another one, was like...white with a button up front and a cute little collar and was very little miss proper but then it had stuff like this one on it, like a big needle and stuff.

oh and i noticed, mine has a little heart on the shoulder blade too Razz
