Morning, all! BF has decided that we are indeed going to his HS reunion. I'm planning to wear this:

With this over it to start the evening:

IMO, it calls for a big chunky gold statement necklace - agree/disagree? FWIW, I wear my hair extremely short (crop cut). I was also thinking little gold earrings.

I'm also thinking about looking for a pair of ankle-high black boots that aren't stilettos. Anyone here with narrow feet have suggestions on good brands?

Thanks in advance for all thoughts!

ETA: corrected photo of dress

    It definitely needs some accessories to add some pops of color! Do you have a necklace you are thinking of using already?

    I don't - my mom said that she might have a couple of things I could borrow, but she was talking about crystals and pearls and that's just not me.

    I like no necklace with higher neckline clothing and BIG earrings. I think gold would look great.

    Cute dress!

    Crystals, pearls, bling is in now, so I recommend you consider it. Love love love the dress! I like the extra long necklaces that are in now, like 36" - 40" long, as you can let them flip around (not 20's era) and be flirty.

    I think a chunky gold necklace that hits a little below the neckline of the dress could be really cute, and maybe a chunky bracelet or some layered bracelets.

    I really like THIS necklace (LINK)!

    Ooo, @CocoBellaF! That Sonora necklace is awesome, and in the Piperlime, I like this, this, this (but I'm worried it might be too dark), and this. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Finished up the look! These are the shoes I'm going to wear:

    And these are the necklace and earrings:

    I'm pretty proud of these - they're made from old BM's jewelry that wasn't my style. I upgraded the crystals to Swarovski (sales at Michael's rock!) and swapped all the silver elements for gold ones. It had a lot of antiqued silver stuff and little silver leaves in it before.

    I also have a faux leather cuff, but I don't have a photo of that - sorry.
