The shoes are actually silver but I see what you mean. Any necklace necessary?

Since it is a deep v, you could do a drop necklace.

This is what I would do. And I'd keep the earrings a bit more simple- studs or maybe something with a little dangle.

ETA: And holy hell that dress is gorgeous!

I'd either do sparkly dangling earring, no necklace and a bracelet.

or

A drop necklace, simple earrings and a bracelet.

Gorgeous dress!

Ok I like the smaller earrings idea because I'm kind of wuss with heavy earrings.

What is a drop necklace? Like a long one?

Thanks! The dress is fabulous! Its a Jim Hjelm occassion dress. It cost way more than I would ever want to spend on a BM dress but maybe I could wear it again since it doesnt really look like a BM dress. The bride (my SIL) was more into our dresses than her own. Chat Icon

I wore this to my BIL's wedding, because I had a deep v neck dress.

Something like this is a drop necklace.

Oof, yeah, Jim Hjelm is $$$, but all their dresses are so nice. The first thing I thought in my head was "I'd wear that not as a bridesmaid" so hopefully you have some other fancy event you get to wear it to! At least you'll look good at SIL's wedding! Chat Icon

Love the dress, I think I'm in the minority, but the cut on the dress is so pretty on top that I wouldn't do a necklace, but bigger earrings and a nice cuff bracelet.

That's funny cause that is exactly why I suggested big earrings, I feel like the neckline is gorgeous and I like it bare.
