Shoes for this dress for teen

10 replies

Totallyfidobono · 29/08/2014 11:04

My DD(14) is wearing this dress to a wedding later this month.
www.oasis-stores.com/scallop-lace-bodice-dress/dresses/oasis/fcp-product/5550083618

But what shoes and colour? She has never worn heels but would like to. I've noticed a lot of young teens wearing giant platform wedges but it's not her style.
Help appreciated.

these if her feet fit? www.boden.co.uk/en-GB/Clearance/Girls-1H-12yrs-Shoes-Boots/Shoes/39122/Girls-1H-12yrs-Glitter-Ballet-Flats.html?NavGroupID=11

these are current season and go to bigger sizes www.boden.co.uk/en-GB/Girls-9-16yrs-Shoes-Boots/Shoes/99047/Girls-9-16yrs-Ballet-Flats.html?NavGroupID=11

trendier and from topshop so maybe more agreeable for a 14yr old www.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/shoes-430/flats-459/voltaire-tumbled-point-shoes-3101058?refinements=Colour%7b1%7d~%5bcream%7cmetallic%7cnude%5d&bi=1&ps=20

if she wanted heels lots of options in newlook www.newlook.com/shop/shoe-gallery/going-out-shoes/blue/cream/silver/stone/_/N-9pmZ1z14161Z1z14162Z1z1415oZ1z1415s?No=0&Nrpp=120

most of the ds's friends that are girls seem to wear ballet flats with even the most dressy dresses, for parties.

I love the Topshop ones. I never thought of it because we don't have one nearby.
The Boden just too girly- she likes her DMs.
Thank you v much. A trip to Top Shop for us.
New Look - she wouldn't last the walk to the car in some of those as much as she would want them!

they had those flats from topshop in a few different colours, topshop also has the option to tell you if the item is in stock in your nearest branch as well.

my dd is 8 and already asking for heels, I've told her no way! dreading the teen years. Hope your dd likes them.

I quite like these -

I know she would like to give heels a go and I'm trying to find the right balance.

Nude wedge heels would work on a teen.
New look have loads.

Thanks for ideas.
She has decided she'd like to go for a wedged heel.
I tried New Look but any that were in stock were too high.
I'm going to order these:

Its a lovely dress, how long is the wedding as for a recent family wedding my
dn's around your dd age wore a pair of wedges which they had fun walking round house the whole week prior then changed into some ballet flats.
Dsis found the wedges of ebay for cheap so didn't matter if only wore for a few hours.

these are probably too high (worn by older dn)

worn by 13 year old dn

and 14 year old dn

my dsis got all three pairs for less than £25 with free click and collect and in person they looked beautiful.
