I ordered this dress from Macy's.   I would like to wear a cardigan or blazer with it.  But not sure of what styles and colors I should purchase,  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.   TIA

Just wondering why you would want to wear something over it?  It looks nice just the way it is.

I think it is very pretty as it is

I agree with the other ladies! This wrap style is particularly flattering to most everyone, who cover it up. I think of a blazer as a more tailored piece, perhaps too tailored for this soft feminine style.

@Boehm Collector, great dress and no need for anything but fabulous earrings, bracelet, watch, and clutch.

Like the others, I wouldn't cover it up.  That is going to be a hard color to match and I didn't see anything in RL with that color.

 

I did find this shrug,from CK, also at Macy's.

Personally, if I wanted to add something, I would look for a cropped cardigan in a contrast color.

love the shrug, and the dress.  i definatley would want a piece to wear with it. who knows what the weather will be? you can always remove the extra piece when you arrive to where you are going.

i would not try and match the color. it never looks right. what about a choclate brown, or pink? black? cream? lots of options IMO. what about matching the color of the print? looks like cream. even a cute sweater would be cute.

I'd go with a skinny (light weight)  knit cardigan, maybe hip length, in a color similar to the color of the leaves on the dress.

Pretty dress @Boehm Collector I agree that anything you put over it should be cropped. An ivory cropped sweater or jacket with very clean lines. The ruching requires something cropped, imho.
