Once again... can you help me to accessorise this dress??

Except that I don't have a link to the dress as I bought it a couple of years ago. It's a shift shape, fitted (but not tight) in a sort of silk/chiffon fabric with a kind of gathered twist to one side of the waist. It's from Coast.

The colours are what are stumping me though - it's a soft grey with sort of small gold splodges all over it. It really is much nicer than it sounds! I've got a wedding coming up and as I love the dress (and haven't managed to find anything else as flattering) I've decided to splash out on new shoes and possibly other accessories as well. I've seen some lovely gold shoes in Hobbs

but they are expensive and I'm not sure I'd get much wear out of them again! And then what colour bag/shawl/jewellery etc? I can't go gold for everything can I? I have a lovely black clutch but I'm not sure how I can make that work.

Anyway, I know you ladies are up for a challenge! Do your worst...

How about the variety of berry/burgundy/oxblood shades that are around right now? It sounds like a rich, reddish tone would go well with grey and gold.

I think you're right, Hyva, I dud wear a pair of rich/deep red shoes with it when I first bought it. But I don't think those deep colours suit me (am blond, blueish eyes) so wouldn't work near my face e.g, for a shawl. I generally like brightish purples and corals but don't think those would work... maybe I'm wrong?

Pale pink? Maybe not the shoes but pale pink jewellery?
