for a smart/casual lunch. i don't like gladiator type shoes cankles and i'm not too good in massive heels. also, i don't wear leather or suede.

any ideas please? (boots, converse or birkenstocks are my usual footwear).

Hi, lovely dress! Are you ok with low wedges? Like these...

I'd go with the Birkenstocks. I wear mine with a dress like that :)

[poppym12]

oohhh thank you, they're a possible :) i could manage that heel height for a while i think (2 prolapsed discs a few years ago made wearing heels too painful now).

i'd need to try them on as i have weird feet shoes ranging from size 4 to 6. there's no store nearby but i suppose i could order two pairs with express delivery.

i did buy these and they are very lovely

but one shoe is way too big and after wearing them for half an hour, my back started to ache. what a waste.

i would if it was just casual mummysparkle but i'd like to dress it up a bit if i can. i bought it as i know i'll wear it again with the birkenstocks in future whereas most of the others i looked at, i knew i'd only wear once.

Poppy would it be flats ideally then? As Mummysparkle says Birkenstocks would definitely work. Maybe in silver to be a bit more dressy?

[poppym12]

i think i'd be ok with a low heel rain and i've got it into my head that i want to make an effort (look different to how i usually slob around). i know the dress isn't really stylish but it fits my current body shape and size that i hate quite flatteringly.

I'd wear Birkies with that, maybe silver ones if I wanted to be posh.

[Ilovetorrentialrain]

Yep totally understand. Higher or lower than these? www.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/shoes-430/view-all-748/heartbeat-heeled-sandals-4103735?bi=1&ps=200

Lovely dress! Gutted I didn't spot it earlier as the size 10 has sold out. Would've been perfect.

I like the Dune ones and think Birks would be good too. Dune are very good for Summer shoes/sandals.

[poppym12]

suppose that at least i know i'd wear the birkies again. going shopping tomorrow so hopefully i'll be able to find something.

The Dune 'Head Over Heels' range seems all non-leather...

E.g. www.dunelondon.com/jellies-low-block-heel-sandal-0159509050002351/

that height or maybe even a bit higher rain.

i bought the dress from debenhams when they had a 20% off day a while ago waggle. it hangs really well as the fabric isn't thin and static-y. its one of my favourite purchases of the year. bargain .

[poppym12]

you are a very good shoe shopper rain and i appreciate it because i'm crap.

not keen on the gold heel but that link also showed up some cream ones with a cream heel so i'll have a look at what other colours they do.
