OK, so I bought this dress and it's soooo beautiful, but I'm having trouble accessorizing it, mainly because there are so many different things I could do with it (I think this will prove to be very versatile!).
I was thinking of doing gold tstrap heeled sandals, some loopy gold earrings with one pearl on them (hard to describe), and a cream/gold bag. These are the ones I am considering:
Or (if you look closely you can see it looks like an apple. I think this is the one I am leaning towards.)
Which, if any of these, do you like? Or should I pick another color scheme? I am totally up for any opinions or suggestions you might have!
ETA: I think I am going to take the ribbon out too if that makes any difference.

I love your choices! Also, call me strange, but I love the idea of red/wine shoes with navy. I am sure some people think it's too "American flag," but I think it looks cool and vintage-y.

i like that look too... and i really like the apple bag- def. unique!
I like your idea for a bag and shoes. That dress is so classy and elegant that it calls for jewelry that is equally classy and elegant. I think it would look funny with trendy jewelry. Here are some ideas:

If you don't want to do gemstone jewelry, here are some pearl and crystal options (of course, this would call for silver shoes and bag):
or
And of course you could always do a big, chunky cocktail ring with a pair of simple studs:
For dressing the dress "up" I love your pics. And I that apple bag!
I was reading my September Lucky last night and got inspired by the "fancy dress with chunky sweater" look, so I thought I would put together a bunch of random accessories for you. (Also taking into account HalleyBird's suggestion on red). Note that I didn't put these together into outfits.
Sorry, not a great pic, but I like this color with Navy.
I can't find any pics of a thin gold belt!? But I think a thin gold belt would look fab.

Thank you for your input! I think I am going to get the apple bag just because it's pretty neutral. I do like halleybird's idea of red and it would sort of play on the whole apple thing (geez I am a nerd). And Lisa I these shoes:
