NEY Fashion Police (help me pick)

Hi ladies!

So we just got through H's company party, and now mine is in a month. I need a little help accessorizing.

For background, the event is being held at a computer museum with apps and cocktails, and the invite says semi-formal.

I'm thinking of wearing this dress (it looks better on me than the hanger).


I have three pairs of shoe candidates. These purple ones I found at DSW today:


Bronze:


Black:



The purple and bronze pairs are the same height--3.25"--and the black ones are 3".

In addition, I would love some jewelry suggestions. Thank you!

That dress is hot. I vote for the bronze shoes, but I'm tipsy, so my judgment may be impaired.

I like the purple ones. But, keep in mind, I'm the last person you'll want to ask about fashion advice.

I love the bronze shoes.  But I'm one who has no fancy shoes at all so I'm not the best to give fashion advice.

P.S.  I LOVE the dress!

I like the purple shoes the best. The black shoes would be my second choice. I think a pair of strappy silver sandals would look good, too, if you happened to have a pair.

I think your dress is super pretty! I love the color!

I love the purple dress with the purple shoes.  I would also do some sort of gold or burnished jewelry look.  Maybe just big earrings because you have the cool strap and a pretty braclett

Hot dress!! I'd go with the purple shoes, dangly earrings & a bracelet.

I'm with the masses, I think the purple shoes or the bronze shoes would look hot! I would also stay away from super large earrings and any necklace. The detail on the one shoulder is great, and more than enough around the neckline. I would go with fancy studs (do you have diamond or rhinestone studs?) or a very small dangler. Something delicate on the ear. 

But you can also go for a fun bangle with this or a nice cocktall ring. I'd likely wear either on the arm that isn't the one shoulder just to balance out the outfit. Come back and post pictures of your hot self!!!!

I voted bronze and I love the dress!

Definitely bronze. The purple ones are super cute but I wouldn't wear them with a purple dress. And that dress is screaming for some strappy shoes.

I am in love with the dress and the purple shoes are fantastic! I think they would look great together but might look a little matchy. The bronze would be my 2nd choice, with bronze jewelery either way.

I think that a big bracelet or a cocktail ring would be perfect, since the shoulder on the dress makes such an awesome statement. I liked DanielKA's suggestion of fancy studs or small danglers for your ears.

Thanks ladies! I think I'm still a little torn between the purple and bronze. I worry purple plus purple is a little too matchy. I think I'll try things on tonight to get a better idea.

I love the idea of a statement bracelet. I bet I can find something at Icing or Kohls. The shoulder poof comes up pretty high, so I think I'll stick with smallish earrings, like a 1" dangle. I really can't remember what I wore with this dress in Vegas other than bronze wedges (which I figured were too casual for this event).

By the way, that dress was like $40 from Burlington. The selection is hit or miss, but I highly recommend it as a place to look when you need a cocktail dress. I didn't need a dress when I saw it, but I just loved it so much.

I vote for the purple shoes, and some bronze or gold jewelry.  But hey trust your instincts!

Purple shoes,  they look more wintery than the strappy sandals.  I can't tell what color/type of embellishment is on the shoes, but I'd try to get jewelry that goes with that.
