Help me find accessories for this dress

My best friend is getting married in a few weeks, very small wedding, but chic and fun. I am thinking of buying this dress and I have the perfect shoes for it, but I can't find a shrug or cardigan to go with it, and have no idea what accessories I should wear, since it has a highish neckline. They sell a red cropped cardi that goes with it, but I didn't really want to wear red, plus I have red hair, so that's always difficult. Most of the green cardis I have found are lime green which is not quite right - has anyone seen a softer green jacket or shrug anywhere? Or if you have any other clever thoughts, I would really appreciate it. I never quite finish off my outfits, and for once I would like to look good. TIA.

Not sure of your budget, but this would be nice- as a fellow redhead, I understand the aversion to red.

I think redheads can look fabulous in red. The redness is a statement, IYKWIM. I love that L.K. Bennet jacket though. It looks very chic. What colour are the shoes, and what colour is your intended handbag? I think a fairly formal hairdo would really finish off the outfit nicely..

Oooh, thank you! I love the LK Bennet jacket (good colour) and also the shrug. I have to go into town on Monday so I'm going to nip into the Coast on Regent St.

Mathanxiety - I have mid-green shoes which are just right with the leaves of the flowers and they have a diamante clasp on them. So I was thinking maybe diamante type necklace, or silver accessories anyway. Do you think a long necklace? I'm always a bit nervous of chokers. [Crap Accessoriser Emoticon]

Oh yes the LK Bennet Jacket is lovely - and you'd get a lot of wear out of it as it would look great with some dark jeans and a simple top.

With that higher neckline, I would just go for statement earrings and not much in the way of a necklace. Maybe a chunky or noticeable bracelet instead. Silver would be really nice, especially if the shoes have a diamante clasp. I would have your hair up in a fairly undeniable 'do' if it's possible with your length (i.e. not just tied back in a bun)

Thanks for the 20% off LK Bennet, tethersend - have ordered jacket (and a couple of other things! oops). Quite excited about my outfit now - thank you!
