Help me accessorize this coat

Yes, the coat is black.

So stick with black leather gloves for her. Her new car is fire engine red, so I don't think the red will be a problem. But I'm definitely not locked in. I tend to like her in 3 colors: black, white and red.

Beret is a good idea. She's not big into hats, so it'd be a great chance to try something really cute like that and hope to expand her horizons.

I am not a hat person myself. I have nothing against them--I just think they look ridiculous on me. I buy hooded coats or scarfs that are wide enough to throw over my head if it is chilly. But I have always liked those Russian-style fur hats (like fox). You can now get them in a wide variety of very convincing faux furs, so as to avoid the issue of endangered species and confrontations with animal rights advocates. I think a pretty face surrounded by a halo of fluffy fur looks good.
