how do i accessorize a 50's style dress for do tonight

[piratecat]

hi,

I normally wear jeans, i don't go out much, and if i do i wear erm jeans with heels and a nice top.

I don't do dresses i feel like a wally.

However i bought a 50's style dress, fullish skirt, champagne under skirt, with black lace thing over the top. It's fitted to the wiast, strapless but i will be waering the straps (black) with a strapless bra.

I have some shoes, great, they are ott but i love them, the main colour is a deep red, and thye are quite retro.

what do i wear if anything, round my neck? bracelet? thinking red flower thingy in my hair. Ihave dark bob hair, and am size 14. Not very tall, and have wondered if i do in fact look like a toilet roll dolly, but my sister assures me i don't and that my figure really suits this whole look.
Ilike looking different! If i wear jewellery what sort, colour. earings, oh god earings???

i was thinking just simple diamond studs with a flower clip in my hair on one side?

as i am putting the straps on, i not sure a necklace will be too fussy.

so if no necklace, perhaps different earings?

where is everybody.!

it's not overly toilet roll-y, and quite subtle. The red shoes sound nice. Necklace - not unless you have a long neck. Chunky bracelet would be nice if you have one.

lol!

what colour bracelet, I have a off white pearly type one, not too trad.

i have a slim neck, yes i guess it's fairly long, not squat anyhow. I think if i go for the flower that matches the shoes that would look good?
