Accessorize me please

New dress for two formal occasions. I'd like the accessories to go along with the dress, not my usual boring, classic/conservative style, whatever you call it. It just came, I really love it, haven't tried it on yet. The girls will not be exposed like in the picture.

Big bracelet? Earrings? What goes with that neckline?

I have a little matte gold purse or a black silk purse that match the shoes.

Shoes are faux Louboutin peep toe pumps

Thank you!

Do you want to play safe or are you feeling bold?

If the boobs are not going to be exposed like in the pic, is it because you're
wearing something underneath or what?

^ I'm guessing no. That wouldn't look right. It's fun to show some cleavage now and then.

Feeling bold jewelry wise.

If the V neck is too long, I'm going to have it altered a touch. Just a nice V, but all covered.

I forgot about a ring too. I have a love/hate thing with rings cause they annoy me when on. I could do like a big, funky, bold ring. I dunno.

Turquoise is nice with black.

GF, how's your skin tone: tan or pale?

A big chunky turquoise ring and earrings, you don't need a necklace unless you really would prefer to wear one.

I love silver with black.
A big chunky necklace for a hippy chick look,no earrings and a big ring,no stones.
Or a thin necklace with lilac stones and a plain silver ring.Stud earrings will do.
You can do a long earring thing,no necklace and a bracelet,no watch.
I love the dress,Chalet.

Love that dress! Listen,with your taste you can't go wrong. Like your shoe choice. Put it on & see what zings. Try it all on,see what makes you giggle. When you light up,you'll know.

Go with bold ear-rings OR necklace but not both. Personally I'd go with a simple chain necklace in gold or silver but I'm a less is more person. You can go a bit wild with a bright handbag, perhaps beaded? Bags with chain straps like the classic Chanels are In this season. I would also get a really bold shawl or pashmina. I have a gorgeous pumpkin/mango orange one that looks great with black. It depends how brave you are feeling. I don't get many opportunities to get gussied up these days so when I do I go for it!

Love the dress as well, but my recommendation would be a big fat sparkly cuff.
No other distraction.

Oh - and good shoes. If you got nothing outrageous use bacis black with heel.

I am a less is more person too, so take this with a grain of salt. I would wear a blingy thick silver bracelet with that dress. I wouldn't wear a necklace because I think that detail on the neckline is beautiful and can stand by itself. I don't think I would go with a gold purse OR a black satin purse (that simple style just screams silver to me and I think a black dress, shoes and purse would be too matchy). I also agree that a bold colored shawl would make the dress pop ... but I would be concerned about covering up the detail of the neckline/back too. I can't comment on earrings ... I don't wear them. It really is a very pretty dress. Simple, but elegant.
