Thanks everyone for your input. I now have the outfit.

Black Velvet 3/4 length tiered skirt
Black Velvet tank top
Black Velvet shawl
Black beaded necklace and matching earings
Will wear high heeled boots as it is going to be -20oC and strappy sandals just aren't going to cut it in the snow and cold.

When I get all dolled up tomorrow will snap some photos to show you how it worked out.
