What colour accessories with cobalt blue dress?

beccak, 23 July, 2014 at 18:13 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 8

This is totally unrelated to wedding planning but I'm hoping all you stylish ladies might be able to help me out!

I'm going to Ascot with H2B's family in August (they're a racing family) and am going to wear this cobalt blue Karen Millen dress:

None of the hats/fascinators that I've worn in previous years match so I need to buy one but not sure what colour I should be looking for! I don't want to buy new shoes, so will either be wearing nude, blush pink or champagney-gold heels (I've got plenty black shoes but don't think they'll look right). Which of those colours fascinator would you go for, or should I get one that matches the dress?

Votes please!

    I have a couple of dresses in this colour and I always wear either black or silver shoes with them, so I think that black would go. That said, it's not very cheery so perhaps you might want to ignore me!

    Lovely dress btw!

    My original thought was hot pink!

    Out of your options, champagne gets my vote

    I think nude, blush and champagne shoes would all go so I'd choose which of those you want to wear and match the fascinator to that, I think.

    Black would look fine but I like the idea of something lighter with it being summer.

    Thanks all! Yes, my thinking was also to avoid black to make it more summery.

    Do you think this would be ok? It's described as pink but looks more nudey to me..

    Or should I go with something blue like this and then just match shoes and bag (and I'll probably wear pearl jewellery)? Can't decide whether the blue would look more co-ordinated, or too co-ordinated in a bad way...

    I like pink with blue, so would go with pink personally.
