The Finishing Touches
After you've found the dress, it's time to turn your focus to accessories. Keep these outfit-making tips in mind.
Shoes Should Complement, Not Clash
If your dress is simple, then use this as an opportunity to have a little fun with your shoes. Try an embellished pair of heels or fancy flats. On the other hand, if your dress is in a fun print, like on-trend florals, then keep your shoe choice simple—think nude pumps or flats that match your skin tone.
