Carry a Clutch

looka_10-sum11mwd107397.jpg

It's the perfect size for lipstick and a copy of your vows, and it syncs up with nearly any gown -- especially this strapless stunner. But the best thing about this ruffled tote is its bright, happy hue.

Slip On Bold Shoes

Put On a Jacket

lookh_0097-sum11mwd107397.jpg

Go for Gloves

lookl_0660-sum11mwd107397.jpg

Clutch your bouquet with something short and sweet, a la Jackie O. To keep the look from going too conservative, opt for peek-a-boo crochet in barely-there lavender.
