OT-What type of shoes go with this dress

So I have three weddings to attend this spring - one this weekend, one in June and one in July.  I purchased this dress:

It was a little more than what I wanted to spend but it actually fit and it looked alot better than those dresses that I have tried on.  My question is what kind of shoes would you wear?  I also have a cropped style black cardigan that I plan on wearing since a cold front has come through and we are supposed to get a little bit of snow tomorrow.  I have some black boots with a little bit of a heel that I could wear but I'm not sure how that would look.  Also, since I'm pasty white, would wearing black hose or a tight work, especially for tomorrow's weather?

    A wedge like what the model is wearing or flat but cute/stylish sandals with thin straps. I mention both for comfort. You could also wear a peep-toe with moderate heel.

    The dress is super cute!

    I would go with a strappy sandal. Where do you live? I would give anyone I saw wearing boots or tights in May the side eye.

    I would go with a sandal with an actual heel verses a wedge like the model has on.  A heel seems dressier and more appropriate for a wedding.

    You could do any color since the dress is black and white.  It would be cute to do a colored shoe and then a matching pashmina in case you got chilly or wanted to cover your shoulders.

     I live in Wisconsin.  With the thought of at least an inch of snow and the high of only 50 and cloudy and rainy/snowy tomorrow, I don't know if having an open toe or sandle would be a good or not.  I wouldn't want to freeze the entire day.

    In that case, you may want to go with a different dress. Boots or tights won't be appropriate for this springy dress.

    That dress cannot be worn with boots or stockings at all.  If it is going to be too cold for at most a peep-toe, choose another dress for this weekend.

    I also suggest a somewhat strappy shoe and would prefer a color over black.  But, I am also not the hugest fan of black and white printed dresses and need some pop of color.  As LCB said, a matching pashmina would be great.  Or even black shoes with a colored pashmina.  I also wouldn't wear a cropped sweater to a wedding...definitely a shawl of some kind.
