Can I wear taupe color shoes with my raspberry & ivory floral print dress?

Can I wear taupe color shoes with my raspberry & ivory floral print dress? The dress has a handkerchief hem and I plan to wear it with a complementing raspberry shrug out on a date this weekend. What should I do about selecting a purse for the evening?

Taupe color shoes would be awesome with your raspberry and ivory floral print dress. You can carry a taupe color bag or choose a bag in a color that is in the print of your dress. Another option would be a pewter or a soft gold color bag and wear matching metal (gold or silver) jewelry to look très_chic. A hankerchief dress is so feminine, sexy and flowy and will definitely make a fashion statement in an ivory and raspberry floral print. It is also very versatile. By changing your accessories, you can turn your dress into a casual weekend outfit. Swap your pumps and the raspberry shrug / shawl for a cardigan or a denim jacket and maybe a cross-body bag and sandals and you have another outfit.

Wearing Prints and Patterns
When wearing prints and patterns or choosing anything to wear, we want to accentuate the positive. The first thing to think about when selecting prints or patterned clothing is the proportion or scale. Large prints will call attention to you and your size. Small women don’t look good in clothing with large prints or patterns. Large women are already noticeable and will just call attention to their size when wearing large prints or patterns. Scale the prints to your size and you’re “good to go.”
