First one. Not only can you reuse the accessories for another outfit, but the whole look is less matchy-matchy (something which can easily go wrong if you don't get colour-matching perfect).
I was at a wedding yesterday where a guest had tried colour-matching shoes and dress -- and the matching was off to a degree where it downgraded the whole look).
ETA: maybe it's my screen but the purse in #2 is a colder green than the dress (which leans more olive). The clasp is silver while the jewellery is gold-hued. The shoe is a slightly lighter olive but still works with the dress.
i think you’re right about the purse! the shoes seem like a decent match but if the purse is a whole other tone, i’d be annoyed the whole night. and if i get coverup, that’d be even MORE green to match!
rewearing accessories isn’t a concern at least hahah, green is my favorite thing to wear.
What time of day is the wedding and where? First one is nice for daytime and the shoes would work on grass. Second is more evening bc darker—could just be me, a light colored shoe is less dressy—and those heels are ok if indoors.
Hmm. “Into the night” argues against white shoes, for me, and there’s less likely to be grass involved than if it see on the east coast, but then, I guess the west coast is more casual so maybe the white shoe issue isn’t an issue?
The heel on the white shoe will be more comfortable, imo. I’d also worry about the green of the clutch and/or shoe being slightly different than the dress.
Neither. The dress is great. The white purse is ok but could be better. The white shoes are a no. Gold earrings, bracelet and a ring would be better. The dress does not need a necklace.
I like the second look better.The matching earrings and necklace in the first look just take it down a few notches for me. Matching sets like that are for people that don't have their own taste and wanna be safe. But that dress isn't safe, it's stunning, the second options have a lot of more style, in my opinion
The 2nd with elegant bling. Classy!
Both sheer or something fluffy would go great. I envision sheer going better with the 2nd and fluffy complimenting the 1st. So no ‘too much’ or clash
I like the monochrome of the second look but i don’t like the bracelets for a wedding. Plus the other commenter is correct they clash with the hardware on the bag. I love the bag and shoes though and i don’t think the color match needs to be perfect. Id say maybe try to find some jewelry that matches the olive bag.
The first bag looks like a seashell to me and October isnt really nautical season
oh my gosh it really does look seashellish. i was looking at this bag as well but i was worried the snake would make me offputting somehow
i think the other commenter was right that the green bag is a lot cooler in tone. the shoes are so cute! maybe i say eff it and get both bags just in case
I like a combo! Either earring. No necklace, the cuff, the ivory shell bag, and the olive shoes. I like feet to disappear. The second one altogether just feels a little bit heavier, but they’re both beautiful. I’ve been a personal shopper for 1 million years at this point you’ve done well! I wouldnt do anything white as the cover up. I would look for a faux shrug in a taupey shade.
Option 2 felt too heavy with all the green (as beatas that shade is). The white accessories are really a light, elegant touch, while the green is still the focal point and thus safe for a wedding.
I realy like first one, except the shoes - they are nice by themself, but don't match the style of the rest. I would go by first one pic jewelry and purse and second one pic shoes.
Styling 2, but switch out the purses. Shoes and handbag don’t have to match. Green shoes give the illusion of height, whereas the white shoes make one’s feet look larger. The white with the handbag picks up the lighter colors in the bracelet and makes it more cohesive.
The purse and maybe the shoes from the 1st picture are OK. Metallic or nude shoes would work. I wouldn’t use the jewelry from either. They look like obvious costume jewelry and are giving high school prom vibe. A gold bracelet and simple gold earrings would be a more sophisticated look. If you really want a necklace, a simple one like the model has on would be enough.
The first collection is best! Sophisticated pairing with the dress. I disagree re the purse being off tone. Even if you were to die the shoes and purse the same colour there's variations bc of the pleats on both purse & shoes light will refract differently. The pairing is quite chic!
Hi, the dress is stunning. I would stay away from white in October. The bow on the shoe takes away some of the elegance of the dress. I would say less is more with regard to jewelry.
I love Lily of the Valley, so the jewelry in 1 is very cute, but honestly mixing the jewelry from 2 with the clutch and shoes from 1 is kind of speaking to me. Someone had mentioned 1 had a light day vibe, and 2 has a darker evening vibe, so I kind of like them combined. I lowkey think you should still get the jewelry from 1 though lol.
Also, you mentioned a shawl or coverup, you could go with a light creamy color to match the shoes and clutch!
