I have a few things coming up this summer I need to look (semi) formal for. I am graduating, and my family is having a big party for my grandfathers birthday.

I am thinking of ordering this dress for both occasions:

I'm not sure what I should wear with this to add some color? What would you guys recommend in terms of jewelry/bags? I will probably pair the dress with a belt, instead of the bow included.

Thanks for any help!!!

I would not add color to this dress, rather enhance the subtle beauty with a metallic.

Opt for a small kitten heel strappy sandal in gold, or sport a flat. pair with a chandelier gold plated earring, perhaps a cluster or pearl set with sexy swing?

Opt for a nude or gold metallic clutch.

Not sure of your hair, but a low bun would add a dramatic yet polished look to a daytime occasion, while sleek and chic works better for night.

If you want, you can ditch the metallic shoe idea and go for black. if that;s your choice, keep it polished with minimal fuss and detailing- shoes and bag,

This dress is simple yet elegant, and doesn't need much more.

Check out this month's People Style Watch magazine. Towards the back they showcase a dress very similar, reworked 3 ways for different wedding events. Worth checking out for inspiration...

hope that helps!
