1. You can add black shoes and bag with your turquoise wrap, but it might be more punchy to add a bit of sparkle or at least to pull through a bit of colour in the hand bag. Definitely sheer black hose or go bare legged.

2. My advice would be the same for the metallic wrap. Add a metallic bag for sure, but you can leave the shoes black. Stick to dark hose.

From what I’ve gathered about your personal style Christie, is that you are hip and funky in a streamlined way. Wearing a classic dress is fab (because there is also a modern classic side to you), but you’ll kick the look up a notch if you add that quirky sparkle and your own personal stamp. I say go for a funky silver shoe with a chunky heel. I’d add a faux fur or sequined shrug (possibly black or slate grey), a silver trench or retro black evening coat- not a wrap. Your dress is soft and flowing….you want to create a contrast with structure and another texture to complement it. “Flowing on top of flowing” does not work as well.

If silver does not tickle your fancy…..I’d go Kelly green or yellow…but these choices are harder to find and very daring. Black and ink blue are a HOT combination at the moment and one of my very favourite pairings if you add pearls (a bit of neutral cream to clean it all up). You do not need to match your shoes to your cover-up. Let us know how your outfit eventually turns out!

What about silver shoes with the navy dress? I think the dress is too elegant for chunky shoes. Gold would work, too, but there’s something about navy and silver!

Wearing fine jewelry that matches ( both earrings and necklace) is great. Together they’ll make a lovely statement.

I may be going to a black-tie optional New Year’s Eve Party and was thinking of wearing this: http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/p.....od62983251 in Navy Blue (this was my wedding dress from three years ago). The problem is, I would need to get new shoes. What color goes with navy blue? I no longer have the ones I wore to my wedding. And for the wrap, do I match the shoes? Do I go chunky or skimpy on the shoes? So, so many questions. Would love your color advice, Angie.

What I’d like to know is if I wear that dress with a silver metallic wrap should my shoes be metallic or can i get away with my very nice black pointed-toe stilettos? Or should I buy some metallic shoes? What about a clutch metallic or black? what should I wear for pantyhose (dark, or neutral)?

Thanks! I’m lost…
