What jewelry and hairdo with this dress? (pic inside!)?

Think Marilyn Monroe at a Christmas party. I LOVE your retro idea .. go for it! You're sure to get heads turning. I'd say go for black peep toe heels, wear red lipstick, do your hair in a 50's style & wear minimal jewelry. I think a simple strand of black beads would look gorgeous & fit in perfectly with the retro look!
