Help me style this dress

[OnlyGirlinmyHouse]

I have this http://www.dorothyperkins.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?searchTerm=ink+dress&storeId=12552&productId=11888133&urlRequestType=Base&categoryId=&langId=-1&productIdentifier=product&catalogId=33053 navy lace dress and would like to wear it for a night out on a weekend away with my friends. We'll be going for a meal, then bars & clubs. may also get some wear out of it over the Christmas season.

I have nude shoes & bag so can wear those like in one of the pictures. but was also thinking I could wear it with black opaques, black ankle boots & a cropped black jacket, and statment silver necklace. Or would that be too black?!

Any other suggestions?

sorry, will try link again Navy lace dress

Love the dress, am tempted to buy for myself! I'd say nude or cream or silver rather than black. Or tan ankle boots?

I think all that black and navy would be a bit dark and drab on a night out. I think the way it's styled on the website, with the nude shoes and bag works better.

Great dress - I agree that nude shoes and bag better....

Nice dress. If the weather is cooler, I think black would be great - I really like navy and black.

I have got tan boots but think they're a bit casual. Was hoping to get away with the black boots as they have less of a heel & I'm less likely to fall over after a few too many to drink

it is a lovely dress, very flattering. I think Dorothy perkins has 15% off until midnight tonight. I'll check my emails to see if I can find the code.

code for 15% off is 'extra15' if anyone is tempted to buy the dress too!
