You have a number of choices as far as color goes. However since it is black tie (formal), try silver metallic or black. Choose a dressy style shoe like sandals, peep-toes or sling backs.
From your description the dress sounds fine. Garments made from silk are appropriate all year round. Silk is a dressy fabric and a silk dress is appropriate for a black tie occasion in November. Keep the jewelry simple since the dress has a lot of metallic woven in it.
It is not necessary to wear a floor length dress or skirt to a black tie event. An outfit made from a dressy fabric in a flattering length for your height and figure type is the best solution. If the occasion is business related choose an outfit that is more covered up. You want to present a professional competent message about yourself in business situations.
