Can I wear black strappy shoes with a royal purple dress?

Help! I have lost 140 lbs after Lap-band surgery. I rarely went to events in the past because finding clothing I liked was too much of a challenge. I have been invited to a birthday cocktail party at a very nice venue. It will be in on Apr 26th, from 4 to 7. I want to wear deep royal purple dress, knee length, with a v-neck (does not show too much) and cap sleeves. I want to know is the dress color OK for April?
