I bought this dress in a charity shop and had it proessionally fittes so it looks lovely on.

I have a clip like this or my hair it is navy in real life

Should I get a heeled court or a sandal, I don't like my feet so don't do strappy shoes.

Navy blue or silver. I thought black would be too heavy.

It is for a school prom, I am a teacher and have to go every year so i did not want to spend a lot of money. So I left a request in my charity shop.

I was not sure about it as I bought it a size too big but having had it fitted it does look lovely in. Dp eyes welled up when I walked out in it today

I am going to try and get some shoes on ebay to keep the cost down.

I am a little worried that it is too young for me and that I am trying to look like one of the students.

I have seen http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400120220460&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT these on ebay but thought they were too heavy for the dress I do have quite wide feet though so the fit should be comfortable. I will be in them for about 7 hours and be on my feet for most of that.

A silver peep-toe wedge would look lovely I think.
Those H&M Choos look sooooo uncomfortable imo.

like these not sure about the raffia wedge, all silver would be better but it may look ok, the dress has a 70's vibe about it that would work with the natural wedge maybe? Good price tho' and they look v comfy

I like those second ones but can't spend £95.

I don't like my feet enough for the last ones.

You have got me thinking about the seventies vibe, Debenhams have these but I think the clip in my hair will look daft then.

I don't think it will work.
