Find me shoes! £200 budget, need to go with turquoise dress

It is my best friends wedding at the beginning of October, I have this dress which looks much nicer on than it does in the picture.

I don't like the Miu Miu wedges the site matches to the dress, I like heels, higher the better. I would also like the shoes to be able to go with other, more usual outfits, if a shoe exists that would go well with the dress and with jeans - amazing.

Also, any suggestions on cardi/wrap/cover ups?

Pretty pretty please! I don't even know what colour to look for.

Absolutely gorgeous dress.

I'd be tempted to go for nude - LK Bennett do a good selection in heel heights.

Or is that navy or black in the dress - guess you could wear that colour too.

Such a gorgeous dress I'd avoid any type of cover-up or do you mean for outside?

Two hundred pounds on shoes? Shock

Ewe · 08/08/2010 18:30

I am always a bit scared of nude as I worry it makes me look pale, although I may have a spray tan before the wedding. I will try again though as those LK Bennett ones are really nice and don't look too dark, perhaps patent will help, the ones I have tried on before were just leather! The dress is dark green in places but never quite gets to navy or black unfortunately.

Think I need a cover up just in case it's cold, as it's October I don't want to take any chances! Will take it off inside the church/reception though.

I will happily spend less Grin that's just how much I am willing to spend if necessary for perfect shoes! I love shoes.

Nude patent is very flattering and leg-lengthening I think.

tethersend · 08/08/2010 18:44

How about yellow or orange?

Over budget but I don't care

TrinityRhino · 08/08/2010 18:45

you have 200 pound to spend on shoes

Envy

I mean I wouldn't spend it on shoes but to have that to chuck away
wow

tethersend · 08/08/2010 18:48

Oooh

Ewe · 08/08/2010 18:50

I was thinking clashing might work, perhaps a pink or a purple too?

The Stella McC ones are beautiful!

I know, I know, it's a silly amount to spend on shoes. It's a one off though!

Possible wrap but I'd wait and start looking at a little faux fur jacket.

Something like this but fake

tethersend · 08/08/2010 18:53

I think pink or purple might look a bit too... Debenhams?

Does that even make sense?

Ewe · 08/08/2010 18:54

Wow, would have to be very careful not to balls up my tan with orange shoes, wouldn't want legs to match footwear! I am in London so I might just take the dress and do loads of trying on as I'm finding it so hard to visualise.

I love these but they're way over budget.

ivykaty44 · 08/08/2010 18:54

I like these with the dress

tethersend · 08/08/2010 18:55

I take it back. These would be nice.

traceybath · 08/08/2010 18:55

I think the dress is so lovely that I'd personally keep the shoes neutral. Also find a good nude patent pair invaluable.

Ewe · 08/08/2010 18:55

Yes, I know what you mean, bit trying too hard and missing the mark?

The faux fur jacket is fab, I think that'd work really well.

OP posts:
traceybath · 08/08/2010 18:56

Oh the metallic choos are gorgeous.

chabbychic · 08/08/2010 18:59

Feeling brave? And frugal?

tethersend · 08/08/2010 19:01

I can't see the choos... which ones are they?

yy to fur jacket

tethersend · 08/08/2010 19:31

Oh, can see them now Confused

They are lovely...

Didn't think nude would work, but these are nice.

Ewe · 08/08/2010 19:32

The choos are glamour, under sandals, they're amazing.

I've been reading traceybath and tethersend as the same poster this whole thread, sorry! What an idiot. You've both been fabulous.

I am brave but not sure I am brave enough to do top to toe turquoise, not mediterranean enough to pull it off I don't think! I like them though.

Combined, our forces are greater Grin

Ewe · 08/08/2010 19:38

I think those nude ones might make me look a bit cankley.

I was wondering how so much style could be in just one person, I was feeling terribly inadequate Wink

I should never have looked at the Jimmy Choo website, nothing looks as good now

OP posts:
traceybath · 08/08/2010 19:42

Choos are for life you know Grin

Tethers - we're like the jedi force Wink

tethersend · 08/08/2010 19:43

Arf Grin

These are not the shoes you're looking for
