Heather,
SMOKIN HOT DRESS. I found a pair of shoes, for which I need to now purchase a dress, that are kind of a pale tan/pewter strappy color, but are entirely covered with clear crystals -- so they look as though you are only wearing jewlery (like a diamond tennis bracelet) that would look cool with your dress. I got them at DSW for about $70! DSW always has a great selection, year round, of dressy shoes, but this is the time of year when they bring out more. I like the idea of ones like mine with your dress color, but worry that they might snag the hem. You'd have to check. Otherwise the color the model is wearing look really nice too.
I'd definitely make sure that you don't get something that cuts across the front of your ankle because the dress has that bold horizontal accent at the waist. Something that is strappy, dips down in front and is a light color would be dynamite. Perhaps even metallic silver or gold according to your jewelry choice.
And Essie has a nail polish color that is dark charcoal grey with Teeny tiny, subtle, silver metallic sparkles in it that I wore last year with a red dress -- it was a nice change from the predictable french manicure. Sounds awful, but looks great! I think the name was Pewter. I'll look next time I go for a pedi.
ETA: These are the ones that I bought, in the silver color. Just need a dress now. If I can't find a dress, well, let's just say I'm still wearing the shoes, dammit.
