what should I wear with this? PIP

[Deleted User]

good morning!

I have an orange-coral shift dress that I haven't been able to wear...  I need to put some kind of cardigan or jacket over it because it's sleeveless, and I have no clue what shoes or even what colors would go with it.

this is the dress:  link

any ideas??

TIA!


Edited: to fix link

A white cropped cardigan!

Here's a short sleeved one:

Or long sleeved:

ETA: For shoes, I think a neutral bronze or tan would look great. Or you could go white to match the sweater.

I think with that cute belt and tailored look, you want to keep the emphasis toward the waist and avoid the long/flowy look. Howbout this for a start?

I'll keep looking...

Yup, I'd go with a nude colored shoe of some sort.

And a natural/creamy colored type cardi

You should try putting the dress's belt over the cardi!

Or, a cute lightweight jacket!

Desert, I love that cardigan. Very chic.

I'm still sticking to my cropped idea for this dress, though.

If you want to go extra girly...

Not quite as cropped as I was looking for, but if it still nips in at the waist some, that works, too.

For a slightly more casual look:

oooooh, very fun!  I'll have to look through my closet and see what I have that's similar.

FI thinks I should wear this with it... link

I'm not so sure.  I tried it on and I'm usually so leery for bold color that I couldn't tell if I liked it or not.

with shoes like this:  link

but I keep going back to the neutral cardi or jacket!

any opinions on the colored cardi?

I think that coral is so vibrant that I'd pair it with a neutral, but that's just my style.

The shoes would work. Nice neutral tones in there, thought I think I'd prefer a solid. Again, my taste. You're not going to hurt anyone by dressing how you want.

I really like the navy with the coral!

I don't know what would go with it, but I like it!

thanks for all the opinions!  I'll try some different things on with it.

A white cardigan and [these shoes] (<-- clicky) I'm wearing them right now actually

I love the snake skin shoes!
I'd wear them with the dress and a nuetral sweater with the belt from the dress over the sweater!
