Help me accessorise this dress please!

So I've got a rare girls night out in a couple of weeks and in a giddy fit I bought this dress today:

www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Biba+Frill+sleeve+jersey+dress+with+belt/179988608,default,pd.html

Possibly also egged on by DS who said I looked beautiful in it...sooo...was a bit helpless and melty Blush I don't normally take fashion advice from a 3.5yr old, but fortunately it has stood the trying-on-again-at-home test!

However - I don't know what to do with it. Any suggestions for shoes/accessorising?

I don't really like it with black shoes and my 'going out' shoes (all 2 pairs of them) are black.
I was thinking maybe a contrasting colour...? Any suggestions?
Jewellery - just earrings?

For context, I have mid-to-long length blond hair, am late 30s.

Help appreciated as DS is now out of his depth Grin

metalic heels,intersting cocktail ring and medium to large clutch bag.

Not thought of metallic - could be an interesting option. I'm not good with rings though as I tend to fiddle with them too much. Last time I bought/wore one it got tangled in my hair and sort of dented the cool sophisticated air I was hoping it gave me!

Statement necklace then

Gorgeous dress. Gold or bronze heels with a chunky necklace would look great.

I'd team Metallica with that dress too.

How about a bag like this

Shoes like this

And a necklace like this ?

Hmm, Metallica probably wouldn't compliment your lovely dress! Metallic!

shockedballoon · 04/08/2013 17:13

Oooo I love those shoes! They would've looked great - except for the fact that they were a one off on eBay... dangling carrots like that is just mean Grin

Sorry!

If you're a size 5 or 6, how about these?

Or these are similar to the Topshop ones.

Or cheaper in silver?

I'd wear hot pink shoes with that dress, but then I love a colour clash!
