I have posted in Chat but got no responses.

If you don't like the shoes or the dress, please try to remember that this isn't the question I am asking :) (as per previous question about a jacket lol)

Thank you for taking the time to help!

Vote YABU for no they do not go
YANBU for " yes they go!"

I would match with a white bag.

I am not a girly girl at all and don't own any dresses really and don't have much money or time to find another pair of shoes :(

I think they go as the dress does have white in the print.

Try them on with the dress and see if the shoes stand out too much.

(Sorry, I know it's not what you want to read but a different colour shoe would be better.)

I wouldnt wear white shoes witha dark dress. But if they are comfy and you're likely to be on your feet all day, then wear them.

AyBeeCee10 · 27/06/2019 10:22

They dont go. They are too contrasting almost as if the white is too loud.

Lima45 · 27/06/2019 10:23

It's a no from me. Separately they're both nice. But I don't think they work together.

Vilanelle · 27/06/2019 10:24

@AyBeeCee10 Yeah I get that.

You can't really see them though as the dress is long. Oh man, I am gonna have to dig out some cash to get others :(

They look fine to me.

RedHelenB · 27/06/2019 10:26

I'd wear them together and tbh I doubt anyone will be thinking about it too much

chocolatebrazilnut · 27/06/2019 10:27

I think they would be fine 🙂.

Smokesandeats · 27/06/2019 10:28

How long is the dress? If it’s a maxi and the shoes peep out at the bottom, I think they will be fine. If the dress is shorter than ankle length you’d look better with black shoes to continue the line of the dress which will be more flattering.

I like the print fabric - very nice for a wedding!

ThatCurlyGirl · 27/06/2019 10:28

Personally I would go for a turquoise type colour, or a pink similar to the flowers, to make the colours in the dress pop Smile

Vilanelle · 27/06/2019 10:28

Would you get a white bag to go with it?

They're fine. They might not be everyone's pick but they certainly don't scream 'WE'RE THE WRONG SHOES!'. Wear them.

moreismore · 27/06/2019 10:29

They totally go! No need to find anything else.

Vilanelle · 27/06/2019 10:29

@Smokesandeats its a maxi, so they peep out!

Oh gosh - going against the grain but I really like them together and I like to think I'm quite good at fashion. Confused

I do think you have to assess them on as there is the interplay of dress length/heel height and I can't really tell the style of the dress. Mind you, I am in the minority on liking the colours so maybe don't listen to me Grin

x2boys · 27/06/2019 10:29

I think they would be fine ,whites neutral it's not like it's a completely contrasting colour?

flossie86 · 27/06/2019 10:34

They go perfect in my eyes YANBU

VivienneHolt · 27/06/2019 10:34

They aren’t awful so it’s definitely not a problem if that’s the best option you have. I think a darker shoe would be better though, if you have one.

DontCallMeShitley · 27/06/2019 10:35

I wouldn't wear them together, but then I don't like white footwear. One of the colours in the pattern would be better.

They do look comfortable though.

OhTheRoses · 27/06/2019 10:36

Peeping from a long dress fine. Please don't get a white bag though.

VivienneHolt · 27/06/2019 10:36

(To be clear I think both are lovely separately! And I definitely don’t hate them together)

CaptainJaneway62 · 27/06/2019 10:40

Nothing wrong with the outfit.
Looks more summery with the shoes.
No need for matching bag.
I voted YANBU!

Vilanelle · 27/06/2019 10:41

@OhTheRoses

What colour bag? Shouldn't bags match shoes?! argh!!

OP posts:
Ihatehashtags · 27/06/2019 10:43

It’s a no from me. White is too contrasty with the dress. And the dress looks like a modern floral but the shoes are very old fashioned. I’d go fora more modern, different colour shoe. Black or beige/taupe

OhTheRoses · 27/06/2019 10:44

Not necessarily. I think that's old fashioned advice. I'd go turquoise or navy if that6the base colour. It would be helpful if the bag and hat or fascinator match if you are wearing one.

Am sure you'll look lovely.
