Default Purse to go with this outfit?

I just bought this Stella McCartney dress:

I need advice on a purse to go with this outfit.

I know Stella has a matching tote bag to go with the dress that I bought from her, which by the way...is one AWESOME dress!! But, I am looking more for a SOLID colored LEATHER purse to go with this. Maybe patent? Since the Paul Smith shoe is patent leather.

Thanks in advance for any help :D

It depends on how fun you want to go. You could do white and be more subtle, or I would find a cute blue or orange bag. Smaller clutch like bag.

What about a red BBag? I think that would be too cute!

Just as long as it's a solid color leather bag, and you'll be fine... whether the bag is solid red, white, yellow, orange, or dark blue.

Definitely white or red... and a solid color. I would say a smaller sized bag too, you don't want to be overwhelmed by busy pattern AND huge bag.

Wow what a cute dress! You could wear almost any color accessory -- red, light blue, orange, etc. Personally I would go with a clutch... RED

What were you thinking??

Thank you to everyone for your replies!! I've been scouring the internet looking for the perfect bag in either red or possibly yellow??
Do you think yellow would be too much??
Any suggestions on where to find it on the wonderful world wide web?? I got the dress directly from Stella McCartney's website and the shoes from Paul Smith's website.
Again, thank you all so much!!

Hi. I really don't do yellow, I'm just not that gutsy but a yellow clutch could be cute. I really like the idea of red but no one will see yellow coming. Have you checked neimnmarcus.com and saksfifthavenue.com? They usually have really cute bags. I'm checking and will see what I can find for you. If I find anything I will post it.

Red Kooba Clutch at Neimans for 295.00. Third one over.
Valentino gold clutch, I know it's not one of your colors but I think it's too cute at Neiman's for 895.00, second one.
Red Kors clutch at Neiman's for 995.00, 4th one over.
Tory Burch Yellow clutch at Bloomingdale's for 275.00, 1st one.
Marc Jacobs Yellow Patent Clutch at Eluxury for 895.00, 5th one over
Dior Red Clutch at Eluxury for 615.00, the very last one.

I love the Dior, Valentino, and Yellow Patent Marc Jacobs one. I hope this helps!

I think the red Louis is YUMMY! I would get that one if I were you. Of course, it was fun looking!

I like this one! The simple lines compliment the print and it's not overwhelming.

I think a dove grey could look quite nice.
