To wonder if black shoes and tights would go ok with this dress?

Christmas party is looming this weekend, as always I am really prepared not

Would this dress look ok?

My problem is I don't do very well in heels. I am very tall anyway and being a tomboy, I never wear heels. I woud wobble if I did.

My other problem is I have big bunions on each foot which I do NOT want to display at all. So I am kind of limited in the shoe I can wear. I am aware that a silver shoe would probably go best with this dress but then that would mean I couldn't wear black tights (I hate my legs and they are white as a ghost).

Someone help me! I mean, if you want to find me a dress too that would be great lol.

I don't like showing my upper arms either. bah I am so fucking stressed.

I could wear trousers I guess.

I need a personal shopper :( and don't even get me started with make up.

May I ask where the dress is from? Looks great!

I think black DM boots are the way to go.

I see Holly Willoughby is always in boots on the telly just now but that might be a snake/spider deterrent.

Hmm to DM boots. I don't think I have the sass to pull that look off. The dress is from Dorothy Perkins other clothes shops are available lol

I really struggle in heels, I have large bunions so don't want to display my toes, this is why its tricky.

FYI the top looked awful so I can't wear that. I do like the sparkly tights so will look into those today!

Love those shoes. Where are they from please?

NewFreshStarts · 04/12/2018 23:59

I would think so, the seam wouldn't be showing and your sole wouldn't be showing anywhere.
I'd wear them a couple times to break them in or put a plaster on your heel/back of foot though because if they rub and cause your foot to bleed the tights could stick 😬😬

If I were your height and couldn't abide strappy heels then I'd just pair it with some high sneakers.. Seriously, you'll be more comfortable so will look better and who gives a fuck about what the bitchy colleagues... Lets all remember the lessons from Mean Girls

Where do you live op? Where I live everyone goes out out in flats and trainers nowadays..
I like those shoes you've chosen, but...

Fluffyears · 05/12/2018 12:28

These are Dorothy Perkins and apparently really comfy.

I've got the same dress from your original OP and will be wearing it with black tights and heeled suede ankle boots. It'll have to do as it's all I've got!

@FlyingUnicorn1 The same dress? Cool! I was considering suede ankle boots. I tried it on last night and it will do lol

Shoes are from Debenhams. Not bought them yet though - it's probably too late
