I'd like to add something to this to add a little sparkle.  I've posted before about adding a necklace.  But honestly I think that takes away from the neckline of the dress.  I'm thinking of adding a silver brooch (with a navy stone or design) where it crosses over.  That would add sparkle but not take away from the neckline.  What do you think??


With something like one of these??
Sterling Silver with Blue CZ Sunflower Brooch

I would place the pin on the waistband where the edge of the wrap top ends - almost like it was a wrap top and that was the button at the waist - does that make sense?

Although you seem set on not wearing a necklace, I think a necklace would distract from the neckline LESS than a brooch would. Something simple. The brooch would distract from the wrap details, IMHO.

I totally agree with Detroit, I think the pin/brooch would look best on the waistband...you might need to experiment a little with size and placement...the band is a bit wide so you might need a more substantial pin. Personally, I would go with either an all silver/rhinestone or something contrasting...I think the blue stone blends in a little too much. Here's some alternate ideas...

I think you should get a brooch like sweatergirl suggested but with a chain loop or two hanging down, and put it on the shoulder strap of the dress. Like right on your shoulder or just before so the chain hands down on the front of the strap a tiny bit.

I like those pins posted, but don't know where to put it so it doesn't look like it was just stuck on there, you know?  Could you wear really huge sparkly chandelier earrings instead and keep the neck and dress bare?  Jessica Simpson wore some huge art deco-ish ones once in an old newlyweds and i loved them.   I think that could be really chic and pretty.  I know you've picked some earrings out- but not sure what you ended up going with.  please bear with me if you've decided against earrings/already picked them out- i'm not up to date on many posts.  Can't find many examples- something like this except bigger?:

I also like detroit's idea.  I think the brooch would look so cute...to add a classy, sophisticated touch to a classic style dress.
