What can I do to make this pop?

I found a beautiful off-white lace, sleeveless top with a black cami that shows through. I bought it in the Boutique department at Stein Mart so it is a very nice piece. I found a beautiful pair of slim black slacks and the SA pulled a beautiful wrap in an off-white and black abstract print. Topped it off.

It came together quite nicely BUT I want to make it pop. The predictable accessory would be pearl earrings (ho hum). What else would work?

What's left are shoes and bag. Do I need to stick with black heels & clutch?

It would look quite polished, but oh, so predictable and I'm a gal who enjoys wearing color.

Any suggestions?

I think you can use any color to pop- coral, red, turquoise, kelly green, yellow, etc.

Have you considered a bright, lightweight scarf??

Maybe a red medium heel shoe and a clutch

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

What about a statement necklace??

I would wear black patent heels and carry a small silver clutch. Since I can't see the top & color in person or by photo this is my suggestion. If another color clutch looks better go for it. I like when shoes & bags DO NOT match. Earrings -- possibly big hoops or an earring that has a semi stone hanging. Michael Dawkins does earrings like that. Good luck.

If you want the outfit to pop and the camisole is not attached to the lace top, can you wear a different color camisole?

Would a statement necklace work or big cuff bracelet? Something unexpected like leather....

I enjoy vivid colors but all B&W can be quite dramatic so black or silver shoes/clutch would be oh so chic.

Black shoes and red, yellow or turquoise clutch.
