OP here--thanks for the links, PP! I esp. love the second necklace!

I don't think the sleeves/neckline are so dramatic that you can't wear a necklace, but if you do a necklace, it would have to be a simple, delicate pendant:

I like big earrings. I'd probably wear big earrings and understated necklace, especially if you can't wear a bracelet.

Oooh, I like both of those...thanks!

Something similar to this maybe?

Personally for the clutch I would hit marshalls or tj maxx and grab a small decent looking metallic clutch because I rarely use a fancy bag so it is not worth it to me to spend a lot of money on it. But, I do love this one: http://m.nordstrom.com/Product/Details/3244720?origin=null

I am sure with some searching you can find ones even closer to the blue nile version. Have fun at your special event!

Thanks! Love those earrings!

Okay, I'm sold on the big dangling earrings & a clutch! Links to the perfect clutch would be nice.

(Clearly I'm not very fashionable.)

Earrings in the same metallic color as your shoes. Bracelets or bangles in the same metallic color as your shoes and earrings.

And if you can't wear bracelet, bangles, watch....clutch would be great.

Oh and I do not know how short your fingernails are, but mine are extremely short due to the fact that I pick at them and they split and peel (which also makes the nails unattractive), but I did want to suggest that you get a manicure anyway - even as short as my nails are, they look better after they have been filed, cuticles trimmed, and buffed and given a clear coat.

Chandelier earrings...check! Still can't wear a bracelet.

Thanks for the kind words, 09:30!
