When taking a strapless dress into daytime, you want to keep your accessories more casual and funky so that you don't look like you're wearing the wrong dress at the wrong time — you really can wear a chic black dress during the day!
Because you're working around a basic black dress, choose items that are funky — take some risks! But, don't overdo it with the jewelry; if you choose to wear an earring, skip the necklace (and vice versa). You want to feel comfortable and chic at your lunch with the girls, not worried about feeling overdressed. Wear the dress — don't let it wear you!
We chose a flat sandal to offset the dress' more formal side and give it a more bohemian look. (Plus, if you're shopping with the girls after lunch, you'll need comfortable shoes!) We loved the earring because it's a fresh take on the classic hoop and it adds a dose of color to a black palette. The Coach bag is perfect for this outfit — it's an American classic with a vintage touch.
