Purple dress...shoes?

It is rather cold here in Michigan if I do say so myself. I guess it depends on the shade of purple you are wearing with the black suede boots. Ya know, the whole dark colors in the Winter and lighter colors in the Summertime rule. And it also depends of the accessories and since you said the Baby Phat dress has embellishments around the neck line, you probably don't want to crowd the look with too many more "bobbles". The best advice I could give you is to put the outfit on and feel out the look. Look in the mirror a couple of times and ask your family how they feel about your look BEFORE the actual New Years Eve party so that you will have a chance to fix it or find something else in time.
