My other post is buried now, but the consensus was that the long gauchos I originally purchased for the benefit dinner later this month wouldn't be dressy enough. So I just bought this instead:
I figure I can alsw wear it to the company X-mas party in December, too. Thoughts on accessories? Maybe pearls because of the overlay? I have heels in black and in the emerald color. Which ones? And I'll need a wrap of some sort.
Very pretty! It will look nice with your coloring. I think gold/bronze heels would look great.
Meh. I can't! My hubby is already having a coniption because I had to buy yet ANOTHER piece of clothing. So I really will have to go w/ either the black or the green that I already have............
Thanks, guys. Okay, black shoes it is! Now what jewelry would look best? Low-key and sweet (pearls) or sparkly and borderline gaudy (black beads, and lots of them)?
Lord, I hope it fits! They only had a size 6, which might or might not be too big. I don't know how Adrienne Papell runs.....

How about white heels??? j/k
Sorry, not meaning to cause martial discord, hehe! I think either the black or emerald shoes will look nice too, just try them on and see. I think the green shoes could either look really nice or be to much green, know what I mean. And in that case the black would be perfect. Be sure to post pics of your gorgeous self
for some reason I'm picturing black fishnets with it along with a multistrand layered black bead necklace... diamond studs...
I'm totally NOT a fishnet girl (though I did buy some to wear with my Halloween costume -- I'm going as a goth girl). I would definitely do the layered black bead and diamond stud thing, though. I may do sweet for the benefit and glam for the X-mas party.
FP - I DO have gold heels that I forgot about. Maybe? No?
That dress is beautiful and I think it will look perfect with pearls and black shoes. Especially for a schmancy society benefit dinner. It will look elegant and classic. Then you can glam it up for your Christmas party!

OMG! Perfect! I'm going to go bid on it in a little bit. And, since you're the shoe gal, Detroit, what shoe style will look best? Looks as though my black and green shoes have mysteriously disappeared....... I think I'll do black.
