Shoe and accessory help

I am contemplating buying this dress for a nighttime, outdoor event.  The invite said garden party attire.

I do not care for the shoes on the model, but what shoes would you wear?  I am thinking something more delicate in nude or metallic but am not good with very high heels, especially since it will be outdoors. 

Also, what about jewelry?  I was thinking maybe simple earrings (hoops?) and some bracelets?  Thanks for any input!

Hi, eagles! cute dress!

since it's outdoors I think you can totally get away with a delicate gold "gladiator" flat - something like this:

 Then I think I'd do drop earrings, no necklace and thin gold bangles - maybe with some colored lucite bangles mixed in for some pop.

Hey LTP!  This is for the Evening in Franklin Square event - the hubbs and I are going.

I was contemplating flats, but think I want somewhat of a heel.  Thanks for the input!

I love that dress! How about a wooden or cork wedge? (or espadrille wedge?) 

That way it won't dig into the grass TOO much, although you'll probably be on the sidewalk there most of the time.  

I would do what laptop suggested for jewelry, or big gold earrings and no necklace.

Yeah then I'd go with what eSynergy suggests, a wedge, at least then your heel isn't always piercing through the turf.

My aunt bought this dress for an outdoor wedding. It fit her really nicely, but I hated the handkerchief hem.  To me it kind of cheapened the look of the dress.  I would like it if it was one length.
