After reading your comment aboutI rushed to check a nice floral cardi I have but it's more red than pink. I should have given myself more time to play around with this dress!thepoutingpensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484934089759704702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-11817630516570342902017-06-02T14:04:43.252+01:002017-06-02T14:04:43.252+01:00Hi Amy, thanks for your view, the ivory does lift ...Hi Amy, thanks for your view, the ivory does lift the dress.

Maybe even a shawl? A floral shawl? Something flowy and feminine but adds more color or a print. <br /><br />Thank you for linking up for Fabulous Friday with Jennie and me. Good luck revamping this great dress.Leslie Roberts Clinganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00039535360693452031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-31252535183167325692017-05-30T08:37:19.793+01:002017-05-30T08:37:19.793+01:00Hi Jean, welcome to my humble blog.
Thanks for a...Hi Jean, welcome to my humble blog. <br />Thanks for all your views, it's great to get input. The cardi on order is pale grey and SOMEWHERE (help!) in this house I have a lovely (comfy) pair of silver shoes and both would tone down all the pinkage. This was just a try on with no jewellery, I wear very little with this dress, small pieces and understated.<br />Thanks for your input and hope you keep coming back now you've found me!thepoutingpensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484934089759704702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-80845623397621535422017-05-30T00:20:19.116+01:002017-05-30T00:20:19.116+01:00Hi, Mary.

Depending on the short cardigans you've ordered, I would suggest silver or nude shoes. The pink silk bag that matches a shawl can go out on its own with either. <br /><br />If those cardis fail to work out, your La Redoute cardi tied in front looked fine. Give it new accessories.<br /><br />You didn't show jewelry. I trust you'll let the dress dictate just how much, in silver perhaps or rose gold. I'd wear pearls but that's just me. Actually I would wear rose gold and pearls.<br /><br />You're going to look beautifully up-to-date. <br />Jean Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000315400392984647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-26474643824600591942017-05-29T18:55:03.003+01:002017-05-29T18:55:03.003+01:00Thanks for your view, Polly, TP and I are totally ...Thanks for your view, Polly, TP and I are totally in sync with you. As above, I've got a little grey number on the way as I was restricted on choice over here and I forgot to mention in my above reply that I've also ordered a little ivory sheer shrug affair from Roman Originals. I'm going to make this dress work for this decade too!thepoutingpensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484934089759704702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-75645113655757380192017-05-29T18:47:59.805+01:002017-05-29T18:47:59.805+01:00I am getting so in sync with some of you lovely la...I am getting so in sync with some of you lovely ladies ... One grey cropped cardi ordered from Woolovers clearance last Friday! I tried around town but living on a small island I was short on choice, but the nice lady in Monsoon got me thinking grey but theirs was too lurexy. And oh! do they have a gorgeous full sparkle silver clutch that would be perfect!thepoutingpensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484934089759704702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-50872080081672679752017-05-29T15:56:25.243+01:002017-05-29T15:56:25.243+01:00Just love the dress, and like the darker pink with...Just love the dress, and like the darker pink with it the best,but how about a completely different colour altogether,a short cardigan in navy or teal.pollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06505575770288771183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-69110983603772508762017-05-29T15:36:19.372+01:002017-05-29T15:36:19.372+01:00How about using the opportunity to invest in a lit...How about using the opportunity to invest in a little modern cropped cardigan? You'd get so many uses out of the cardigan afterwards. I could just see that dress in a light summer sheer cropped.
