thank you - I love the dress. Bought on impulse on a lunch break. Hate shopping for me. Hate dresses even more, never wear them. But it called to me and the girl in Monsoon was a legend, getting me shoes etc to try with it.

budget? and do you mind a high heel?

IQuiteLikeVodka · 01/04/2011 20:25

what a gorgeous dress! I second the silver strappy shoes,I'm thinking heels though for definite. Or, same shade shoes,heels and again,strappy. x

No budget really - whatever it takes (within reason, ie not a mortgage payment!) to get a high heel that doesn't kill me. Not killer heels, but high -ish! I want to dance all night and not have to take them off.

so silver, you think? Is comfort and fabulously stylish never a winning combination in heels? I don't want that godawful burning you get in your soles.

mumatron · 01/04/2011 20:33

i would probably go for these myself.

clingingtosanity · 01/04/2011 20:34

I like both those pairs mumatron!

Not sure about the ones you tried on with it Kbear - don't mind a clashing colour if you co-ordinate tones with bag/accessories etc but don't think a court is right style imho

mumatron · 01/04/2011 20:34

i like the ones you tried with it. I love bright colours together.
