Ask BB: How to Style A Brightly Colored Day Dress

Would you happen to be able to lend me your styling expertise? I just scored a great deal on an Apt 9 dress from Kohl's. $29.99. Marked down from $50. It is fuchsia, hits me right at knee. I am short. Just under 5'3". Sort of a satiny material but not cheesy. Anyway, could you recommend shoes and jewelry and handbag? I always love seeing the looks you put together and the links to the items. A versatile look for dinner out, brunch and summer wedding. —Barbara

I love your new dress, the color is bold and the silhouette is chic and versatile enough to work for day or night. Here's how I'd style it for a Sunday brunch, dinner date and casual summer wedding.
