I'm going to a formal holiday party on Friday. I purchased this dress, but I'm not sure if I should just stick w/ black shoes. What kind/color of accessories. The company is my hubby's new company that he hasn't even started w/ yet, so I want to look really pretty, but not too flashy (just in case):
Ooh, I definitely see earrings and a big cocktail ring. Or earrings and a cuff bracelet...that dress is lovely. So clean and modern looking!
I love white metals so I'd wear sterling, but you could do gold, too. I like the idea of a sleek, sculptural, artsy earring, maybe like some of the designers on Stars and Infinite Darkness create? Though I'll bet if you're pressed for time you could find something sculptural-ish at a Macy's or some such.
Here are some examples of what I mean by sculptural, and here's the web site:
I have these in black and they are sooo beautiful. I want the bronze too. They might work w/your dress. They are on zappos so you could get them quickly if needed.
I agree with the bronze shoes. I especially like atl's idea about sculptured jewelry. I'm all about sculptured jewelry lately. I think it looks so cool and sophisticated. A bronze or a mixture of metal colors would work - or you could with either silver or gold if you do black shoes.
Would these shoes look good w/ this dress? What about hose? black? It's pretty freakin' cold here in Boston. Love the bronze heels, but haven't had luck finding them IRL and don't think I could get them here by Friday.
