Hey all,

Recently NY and Company has been having some decent sales. Since I'm planning on going out dressed more I figured I'd add a few things to my wardrobe. Now, the trick is since I'm blind and grew up male, I haven't yet mastered accessorizing outfits yet. I'm trying to get an idea of  what shoes/accessories would be best with the three dresses I picked up. If anyone has a few minutes and wouldn't mind giving some suggestions, I would be most appreciative. The local trans* community is having a fundraiser, drag show, at a local club Saturday and I'm planning on going dresed. I'm not sure if I'll wear one of these, or something else. never really been to a club before, so not sure what's a "normal" dress code.

What I've picked up:
Midi dress http://www.nyandcompany.com/nyco/prod/dresses/chevron-stripe-midi-dress/A-prod460064/?Ntt=midi+dress
Color block sheeth http://www.nyandcompany.com/nyco/prod/dresses/geo-colorblock-sheath/A-prod340027/
Seamed Skater Dress (in a more green color, they seem to be out of it online) http://www.nyandcompany.com/nyco/prod/dresses/seamed-skater-dress/A-prod460025/

Thanks for any thoughts.

What do you mean "accessories?" Jewelry or things like a purse or a belt?
A belt in a contrasting color usually works, but that would accentuate a waist. If you don't really have a thinner waist, skip the belt.
For jewelry, gold or something that is near to the color of the outfit should always work.
Dangily earrings for a club would be good.
Shoes? When in doubt, go with black.
For a club, pumps or a strappy sandal. If you plan on dancing a lot, you might want to bring some flats with you.
Depending on the club, you might want to get something flashy with crystals or beadwork

for shoes , i would recommend you to go with black & plain style (heels or flats) , it will go well with any dress no matter you are brunette or blonde :)

you can wear black shoes as many times as you like (but not too often to same place though LMAO) , safe your money , and can make your feet look bit smaller (illusion) if you have big feet

but if you want to make a statement , go for a colorful ones (dont pay a lot for colorful shoes , you cant wear them often) ;D

for earrings .. I always have big hoop earrings (gold or silver color : whenever I go clubbing , fit in with any dresses) and a small hook earrings to wear during the day  :laugh:
