Styling advice please!

As I have mentioned before, I have 3 weddings coming up in the next month. I have been looking everywhere for something nice to wear but nothing is catching my eye. I am also trying to cutback on spending so something cheap and cheerful was on the agenda.

So, last week I was in Karen Millen and noticed this dress on sale. I loved this dress for the style and shape ... it reminds me of the style of dress Sophia Loren would have worn. It has a very tropical, colourful and busy print. To tone down the look I decided to stick to the main colour Blue for my accessories. I am not usually into being matchy matchy with my outfits but as the print is so busy I wasn't sure where else to go with it.

I love colour and not afraid to wear it but in the form of this print, I am worried it could be a little garish?

Here it is pictured with blue suede peeptoe shoes from Zara and a little blue clutch, also from Zara.

(With and with and without flash- apologies for wrinkled duvet .. I really should learn to iron!)
I plan on keeping the make up fairly glamorous but neutral with winged liner and glossy lips. May even try with bright red lips but I really am worried about looking like a reject from Carnival Season in Rio!!

Any opinions appreciated ... yay or nay? Too much or just right? Or is it too matchy matchy?
