    I received a gifted dress that is similar to this photo.  It has straps though, and is a dark teal/hunter greenish color.  I have two shoe options: a vinyl nude heel or a black leather pump. 

    I want to wear a cardigan with it, but bright white seems to harsh with the color (and doesn't match the black or nude heel options) and I can't figure out anything else that would look somewhat classy.  Any ideas?  Maybe a grey cropped cardigan?

    I would go with the black heel. Are you against doing a black cardigan? Because that's what I would probably wear it with, if it were me.

    I don't!  I like that dress, too!

    Thanks everyone!  I wanted to lighten it up but I think you are all right.  I have a nice cropped black cardigan already so that makes it easy.

    Here's the dress from Gossip Girl! It's from J. Mendel.

    I vote Nude heels. Nude heels elongate your legs and with that dress they would look stellar.  Then, go find a champagne or nude colored shawl.

    I think your first instincts were bang on.  Nude heels and medium grey cardigan all the way!
