"Reader Jo from Minneapolis writes, &amp;quot;I&amp;#x27;ve got a wedding coming up and as the personal attendant I want to look my best... I will also be seeing some old friends for the first time in a few years. I&amp;#x27;ve purchased this dress from J Crew in light pewter but I&amp;#x27;m concerned with what shoes to wear? Something neutral? Metallic? How should I approach accessories? Any thoughts?&amp;quot; I don&amp;#x27;t blame you for wanting to look fabulous, and in this dress, you definitely will! It&amp;#x27;s a very flattering shade of gray, but more importantly, it presents a great opportunity for accessorizing, because the tone is like a blank canvas inviting you to add bold, beautiful color. There are two ways you can go with shoes here: A bright, patent pump in a color like fuchsia or turquoise, or a shoe with a floral pattern or some flower appliques (if the thought of bright pink shoes feels like too much spotlight stealing on your friend&amp;#x27;s big day). Both options will show a playful side of your personal style, but you&amp;#x27;ll still look totally occasion-appropriate thanks to the more conservative dress. I&amp;#x27;d avoid neutrals and metallics, because the dress is already a neutral. Here are some great options for both florals and brights (including a pair of amazing magenta Louboutins on serious sale!): There&amp;#x27;s also the issue of the beautiful neckline, which looks like the perfect place to put a statement necklace. Here are a few that I&amp;#x27;m loving (and that I think will look gorgeous with the dress and any of the above shoes): Keep the bag and the rest of your outfit simple--a pewter clutch similar in color to the dress, a pair of simple diamond stud earrings--and you&amp;#x27;ll look fashion forward and totally elegant.
