Try searching for "cashmere pashmina", that''s what I would go with. I wouldn''t do a bolero or anything too structured with that dress (btw--gorgeous!). And, you could go more with a "scarf" size instead of a full wrap. You could drape the scarf around your shoulders and arms or wrap it all the way around you. Either way, you would still see the dress. And, if you did a pashmina scarf, it would be a great winter accessory.

Thanks for the input and the compliment, somethingshiny! I''m glad to know that my idea isn''t a major fashion faux pas. I tried on a few pashminas at Bloomies today, but they only had them in ivory. What do you think about the light blue idea? Too silly? Should I hold out for a true white that might match?
P.S. I found these Stewart Weitzman Divinyl flipflops at Bloomies and got them because they were majorly discounted. My dress isn''t quite as sparkly as they are, but I figured they would be fun on the beach...

darkeyes, your dress is gorgeous!
I love the flip flops, too! I noticed this trhad over in BWW but I have NO idea what to tell you about a wrap, bolero, or shawl...although what somethingshiny said makes sense. Have you tried doing a search hear to see if others have worn something similar, just to get ideas? As far as the color I think it will look "off" if you try to match it. How about a gray/silver? Do your shoes have any silver touches to them? ETA: I just did a search on here, and gypsy had posted this one a while back... http://www.cache.com/cache/control/product/~category_id=0400/~product_id=09031A12430072 |

Ooh, thank you claudinam! I found so much by searching for previous threads. I''m leaning toward something made of cashmere because I a) love any excuse to buy cashmere and b) think it will be pretty cold in Nantucket by evening. What do you think about either the mist or new aqua colors here? I found these based on one of Surfgirl''s posts. I like your idea of something silver because the flip flops have silver on them, but FI wonders whether the mist color would be too close to my dress.

I think either of those two colors are PERFECT because they're subdued...it's hard to judge the EXACT color on a monitor, but I don't think that the mist would look too close to your dress. Any way you could order both and compare? Not sure what the store's return policy is.
ETA: Just saw that they're final sale.  Any way you could treat yourself to both?

The mist color now belongs to me! I will take a picture when I get it. I wonder if it will come in time for my first fitting on Wednesday? Wheee! I think your idea about a silvery color was great, and mist looks pretty silvery. It should go with more outfits post-wedding than any of the blue colors, I hope.
Yay! Weddings are an excuse to buy lots of things.

If you''re going to be a dork, you might as well be a dork with STYLE! ahaha (I never saw that movie - heard it''s great - hmmmm...maybe that''s what I''ll do today...especially since there''s a tropical rainstorm watch in my area) |

Me too. I consider myself a dork (LOOOOOVE computers, reading, etc.) Plus, I''m a bit of a hermit. Dork, dork, dork. But I love clothes and I think I have a pretty good sense of style.
Yeah...it''s getting dark out there already. Thanks for the warning about the movie - worth watching, though, right? |
