Q. I have my own engagement party coming up this weekend. I was hoping to find more of the spring colors out in the stores, but that doesn't seem to be the case yet. I found a pretty black satin Betsey Johnson Dress. It's to the knee and fitted. Is it wrong to wear black to my own engagement party? Are there any other options to order ?
I was thinking of adding fun shoes to it to make it a little more colorful and spring, maybe hot pink or light pink ? My wedding colors are raspberry, blush and silver, so I thought this might be cute.
Would a fun shoe look ridiculous ? Can you recommend some great high heel shoes for this occasion ? Thank you very much!!!
A. Congratulations on your engagement! While black would not be my first choice for you, what's most important is that you feel good in your dress. A little black dress is a classic and works for pretty much any occasion, so if you love your dress and feel confident, that's what matters.
I love the look of a bright shoe with a LBD, it's a great way to add some fun and a touch of spring to your look. Also consider adding a bright earring or statement necklace (not both) to the look. Here are some ideas for inspiration:
