Little Ballet Pumps would look lovely with the dress, as it has a slight 50s look. Add a nice Pashmina Stole with it, maybe some little sexy gloves and I think it would look quite pretty and feminine.
A look I saw over and over again in the Anthropologie catalogs this winter was to pair a short dress with opaque tights in a slightly "off" color (navy, sage, charcoal) and then add heeled peep-toed-oxfords, or lady-like t-strap pumps. Sometimes even very short booties.
To balance the dark on the bottom, they were topped with either a cropped shrug or a longer belted cardigan (to keep that 50's waist).
I thought it looked like a fun way to "winterize" a party dress.
If you choose the shop-by-catalog option on their website and flip through the Nov and Dec issues, you'll get the idea.
Ahhhh, Grasshopper...you will do what we women have done for centuries: You will wear the lovely dress, the strappy heels, the light wrap and freeze your fanny off for beauty! Sad but oh! so true!!!

LOL. Awesome post.
I have a heels-too-high, ground-too-icy story:
We came out of a concert, a slick snow had fallen, and so my dashing SO scooped me up and carried me to the car. People actually clapped.
Long Live Chivalry.
To the OP: it also looks kinda cute when you have to borrow his suit jacket to keep warm.
I love all the suggestions! I had a pair of silver stappy heels I thought I could wear (the same "feel" as the suggested ones - which weren't on the site when I ordered it). I love the idea of flats or the tights with the shoes (similar to Anthropologie).
Unfortunately, the dress came today, and my torso must be longer than I thought, because the dress is soooo short! I could probably be arrested for indecency if I wore it Good thing shipping was only $5! I have to return it, because while I will show off my legs, I'm not really looking to show the tush unless I'm wearing a bathing suit
I'll have to find another fun dress for Valentine's Day, but will be looking for something fun, but a tad bit longer, and will keep the shoe recommendations in mind.

How sweet! I might have to whisper this idea in DH's ear while he's sleeping so he thinks he thought of it himself

If you find a similar dress, I think a choker type neckace would be very pretty with it, maybe pearls. Be sure to show us what you wind up with!
That dress is adoreable... sexy yet sweet at the same time. I say wear a strappy silver or clear shoe with open toes. Hair up or half up with a short necklace and chandalier earrings. A night to remember!
