Accessorizing HALP!

So, I bought a dress for my brother's rehearsal dinner next weekend, and it's WAY out of my comfort zone, style-wise.. but I love it. Only problem is I have NO idea how to accessorize. My first thought was no necklace and maybe dangly earrings?.. but I kind of like the necklace that the woman has on in the picture now that I see it.... what do you ladies think? and it's the dress the woman is wearing at the top of the page.

Go here: http://www.dressbarn.com/misses/dresses and it's the dress the woman is wearing at the top of the page.

    There's no woman on the page the link takes me to. Just dresses.

  • It's at the top above the individual dresses 

    will try to PIP... but I think it's going to do the whole big ad thing, so... apologies!

  • I think I'd just wear a big silver bracelet like she's wearing. I don't think a necklace is needed because of the rosette on the chest. Silver, simple earrings.

    Or maybe even something like this

    I agree, a necklace might be too much.

  • I agree about no necklace. I think a bracelet and personally I like the idea of some dangly earrings but simpler ones would go well also.

  • Cute dress!  I love it!  Ditto on no necklace.

    I'd wear something like the bracelet CD posted with pearl or diamond earrings.  Maybe a drop crystal pair or something.

    What kind of shoes are you wearing?

  • idk... I have a pair of pewter strappy wedges, but I think a solid pump might look better

     

    which i don't have. haha

  • I think a plain black peep toe pump would be adorable.

  • Cute dress!

    I agree with no necklace needed and going instead with a bracelet and/or earrings.

    As for shoes, I might try to lighten it up a bit and pick a gray/bone color shoe that matches some of the lighter colors of the top of the dress like these (colors may not be an exact match to the dress colors but for ideas):

    I also agree with a pearl drop or shiny bead drop simple earring.

  • Ooh, ditto on the gray pumps.  That would be really pretty.  I'm looking for PIP/links now.
  • ooh I like the idea of the gray..

    what the heck would i do without you guys? haha
