What shoes to wear with a hot pink dress?

I've bought this. What the hell will go with it? What style and colour shoes would look good? Confused. I thought maybe silver, but I hate open toed shoes and can't find any nice closed toe silver shoes.
Anyone got any ideas and/or links please? Budget under £75!

It's a slightly frilly dress, so in all cases I'd keep the look from being fussy or frumpy by going for a court shoe with clean lines, possibly a bit of a platform, and a chunkier heel rather than stiletto or wedge.

Orange is the dog's bollocks with hot pink.

Mmmmmm, suede ...

Otherwise:
Cobalt blue.
Acid yellow.
Nude for an understated look.

Any help?

I couldn't carry off the orange! I could go for nude. Just a plain court shoe - I've got <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=bombay+lights+shoes&hl=en&sa=X&rlz=1R2ADFA_enGB439&biw=1344&bih=697&tbm=isch&prmd=imvns&tbnid=Z7M7CBa2nu7V4M:&imgrefurl=www.northshoes.co.uk/Ladies-Shoes/Ladies-Smart-Shoe/Clarks-Bombay-Lights-Ladies-Court-Shoe-by-Clarks.aspx&docid=cM4yaPsgIUCZxM&imgurl=www.northshoes.co.uk/product-images/Fullsize/64bb9170-e6e1-4748-8109-804fe1a8ffaf-1.jpg&w=729&h=600&ei=8VHBTsLBGs6T8gONmcHABA&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=189&sig=114694730225614086911&page=2&tbnh=145&tbnw=176&start=21&ndsp=18&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:21&tx=144&ty=126" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">these, but they'd be too frumpy wouldn't they?

I would say orange too. Or navy?

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 14/11/2011 19:12

Why couldn't you carry off the orange, OP? Surely everyone can carry off most colours in a simple court shoe? And yes, your existing ones are too frumpy, sorry.

As far as nudes go, I'd avoid patent ? something lap-dancerish about it IMO.

what about these? or these?

I have the glittery pair and I heart them. Brings out the Dorothy in me Grin

I just think orange and pink clash hideously!

Right, I'll look for a nude court shoe. I like those ASOS ones SofaKingOld, but would fall arse over tit in 3 inch heels. I can do 2.5 max (without wine!)

Sorry, it was ConfusedGirl who linked to the ASOS ones.

No, they clash beautifully Smile. Nude will look great. Good luck with the search! Have you tried Solea brand? I haven't had a look recently, but they often have lovely shoes, quite glamorous but with manageable heels.

CeliaFate · 15/11/2011 09:45

Thanks, I will have a google for Solea!
