How to style a nautical rope dress without looking like Popeye?

[piefacedClique]

I have a wedding next weekend and I’ve bought a really flattering rope pattern wrap dress but I’ve no idea how to style it without looking too nautical or too boring and navy! I’m happy to add colour through bags and shoes etc but I’ve no idea how! Help!

I love both of those but the heels are too high (I’m useless on a heel plus it’s a marquee farm wedding) and the flats are too low. 😭😭😭

Nice dress.

I'd have with gone hot pink (but then I think if hot pink as a neutral ).
