Please help me accessorize this dress

[RoxMonster]

I bought this dress today for a wedding in a couple weeks. The ceremony is in a Catholic Church, so I wanted something conservative enough, and the reception is in a banquet-type facility, similar to a Moose Club or Knights of Columbus. The color is more pinkish-purple/magenta in person.

I was thinking of wearing a chunky black statement necklace I have, black heels, and an emerald green clutch. Do you think I need a bracelet? I am typically not a huge bracelet person.

Earrings? I have some black fancier dangly earrings--would that be too much with a statement necklace?

Also, side question: I hate buying one-time wear dresses. Do you think with a lower, plain black pump and a black cardigan over it, this would be appropriate for work or too dressy? (I'm a high school teacher).

I wouldn't do dangly earrings with a statement necklace, and I think the emerald clutch sounds pretty. I might add a bangle bracelet or two in matching metal (gold or silver) to go with the necklace. Or a fun cocktail ring.

I think you can definitely wear the dress again for teaching, with a jacket or cardigan, maybe with a belt.

I agree with fashion on the accessories!

For daytime, the black is a good option. Also try an ivory or cream colored cardi and nude pumps. Coral would be a great daytime pairing, too

ditto on the PP about accessories...i love the idea of a statement necklace, a cocktail ring and really simple earrings!

and i think that would be fine for teaching in, even with some cute flats!

Thanks for the suggestions! Tomorrow I am off to find a cocktail ring; I don't have one but would probably wear it out often.
