Can anyone give me color balance advice on my dream dress?

Here's my issue in a nutshell:
I want to buy Meta's brown cardi because I think the diamond pattern accents the print.
However now my concern is legwear because I think one combination makes it more bulky/unbalanced than the other:
1st option:
>gold shoes (they look bronzy in stock pic) + brown tights
2nd option:
>brown shoes + ivory tights

The reason why I'm partial to gold shoes is because that's the pair I own already. If I went with them I'd be saving myself some money. However I feel like pairing them with brown tights would make the coord look bulky because I already have the brown cardi. If I paired the gold shoes with the ivory tights it would make the coord unbalanced because then there's no darks at the bottom.

However if I did hunt down some brown shoes and pair them with ivory tights, I feel like that would be safest. But would the brown shoes and brown cardi be too much? I was thinking to break up the monotony of the cardi with a golden pin or brooch.
