Outfit of the day - Frilly and formal

I wanted to do a 'Colour in formals' post with this dress. But no matter how much I tried, I could not add colour to this outfit without it looking loud or discordant. So I accessorized it simply and added my magazine purse to the outfit to provide very little colour :-)

Despite the frills in the top half, this dress is very formal mainly due to the colour and the cut. And I love the wide belt which accentuates my waist. I added black stud earrings and a black crystal necklace to make this a formal look.

So do you like this look? And how would you add colour to this outfit? If I can get some good suggestions, I will try and come up with a 'Colour in formals' post with this dress :-)
