Black Tie work event - help with my look - part 2

Thank you so much to everyone who helped on the other thread and I didn't have time to get back to all posters but I appreciate your help, God knows I need it.
So I settled on this Hobbs green silk dress

Could buy the shoes and bag the model is wearing from Hobbs too but it will maybe too much green? Although the green shoes would be useful to wear with black outfits.

Someone suggested metallic shoes.

I think black shoes / bag will be boring, do you?

Does the shoes always need to match the bag? I like it to match bit trying to open my mind.

Looking for kitten heels or a low platform if sandal.

I also like bags with straps so I can have my hands free and not leave it on the table.

I guess that the dress is so beautifully plain, is this an opportunity to be playful with the shoes and bags then?

Beautiful dress.

I never match my shoes and bags. They always "go" but don't match. If you go for the shoes the model has, it means you can go a bit quirky with the bag. Maybe something beaded with a hint of the green in amongst other colours.

What about something like this?

I agree with a quirky bag and plain bronze court shoes/sandals.

Ooh, really like that oranges and lemons design!
