What colour shoes to wear with navy and white dress?

Just bought a lovely navy and white spotty wrap dress that is super flattering. What colour shoes would you wear with it for work? Think navy shoes would make me look to 'Mumsy'. Brown maybe?

Lime with Navy and White is sumptious.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 04/11/2011 15:40

Agree with lime. Or, more neutral but not frumpy, a pale nude sort of colour?

Nude definitely.

SixStringWidow · 04/11/2011 15:46

Today, I'm wearing a navy trouser suit with nude shoes, it looks nice.

ThePathanKhansWitch · 04/11/2011 15:47

The nude things looks lovely with nice tanned legs.

OhBuggerandArse · 04/11/2011 15:47

Red, for definite - lime in the summer, but not so much now, nude a bit too Middletonesque.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 04/11/2011 15:48

. It's been a while! Nice namechange, by the way.

mandoo · 04/11/2011 15:49

Nude or gun metal grey maybe?

OhBuggerandArse · 04/11/2011 15:49

(Oops, sorry, nude people!)

SixStringWidow · 04/11/2011 15:50

Red, White and Navy just screams Sailor Suit to me....

Can anyone recommend a nice pair of lime shoes?

Nothing wrong with looking like a princess :)

ThePathanKhansWitch · 04/11/2011 15:56

Ohh Mandoo i'm liking your Gun metal, very lovely.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 04/11/2011 16:02

bit sludgy-coloured perhaps?

ThePathanKhansWitch · 04/11/2011 16:14

LCCM i was thinking sheeny shiney Gun Metal, would that not be good then?

ThePathanKhansWitch · 04/11/2011 16:16

Oh sorry just looked at link, yeah sludgey someone would say where did you manage to find shoes the colour of curry Smile.

Like those Hobbs olive ones LadyCCM.
What's the occasion OP? Assuming you're going to wear nude tights?
What about wine ? They also come in dark grey.
At the risk of being lynched, I would personally wear navy shoes. There's something about spotty fabric, I just don't like forcing another colour into the mix. But then I'm a bit boring like that...Smile

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 04/11/2011 16:20

'the colour of curry'. How rude!

Not far off the mark though. Although I do like them. And yes, I think gunmetal grey would look good with navy dots. Also a dark silver or platinum ...

ThePathanKhansWitch · 04/11/2011 16:25

dingdong i like the pewter better than the wine.

He he LCCM they are like a pot of boiled shite! .

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 04/11/2011 16:26

Charming! Grin

dingdong3 · 04/11/2011 16:28

you know you want to
