Hi, ladies. I am wearing a black a-line dress with black leather pumps. My hair will be in a curly rollerset - about chin length. My question is, how should accessorize? The dress is black linen, very simple and elegant. I don't know whether to keep my whole look simple by just wearing silver studs in my ears only, or to go really dramatic with the accessories.
Here's the dress:

Can someone give me any advice?

I love silver with black linen...well actually I love silver period.:)
I would just do a pretty fat bracelet, a clutch, and pretty...and simple earrings.
BTW thats a really nice dress.

Thanks. Okay, I have a silver clutch and I have silver studs and watch. I'll have to go out and look for a fat silver bracelet.
So, should I wear a necklace or no?

I think that a black clutch would be much better. I you're going to wear a lot of silver accessories.
I'm into the beaded bracelets now, but not everybody likes beads.
Like this black pearl bracelet and earrings. The necklace might be too much with that high neck. I'm in love with this style now.
I don't think they are as large as they look in the pic.

Multiple small braclets or one bangle would work too.

You could do anything with that dress and not go wrong. I would probably go with a very long, bold chain--no shorter than about 30", some pumps and small earrings to match the chain.
