I have lost all capacity to make decisions. So

silly

or sensible

I have wanted glittery red shoes since forever, but they are twice the price.

With this and <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?um=1&hl=en&rlz=1C1LENN_enGB470GB470&biw=1241&bih=606&tbm=isch&tbnid=jzdtWX2p_QZjwM:&imgrefurl=www.accessorize.com.br/produto-99144190-44-80-10-fascinator-dalmation-pill-box-and-veil.aspx%3Fpg%3D2%3Fcolor%3D90&docid=4eRIt_3fxT2QsM&itg=1&imgurl=linxb2caccessoryze.blob.core.windows.net/010-001-" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">prd/geral/linxshop/fotos/thumbs/foto9914419090100z.jpg&w=800&h=800&ei=LpWqT5rfOIKk0AXIwMyTAg&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=638&sig=106939317718505199749&page=1&tbnh=108&tbnw=102&start=0&ndsp=27&ved=1t:429,r:8,s:0,i:88&tx=57&ty=43 this

What's the occasion?

I love the patent red shoes, and the glittery ones are quite fun.

BunnyLebowski · 09/05/2012 17:08

The glittery ones! The glittery ones! The glittery ones!!!!!!

They are FABULOUS

And on a practical note the red of the Next shoes doesn't go with the red of the dress at all. Plus they look a wee bit plasticky and cheap.

The glittery ones!!!! Grin

Definitely the "silly" ones. They will make you smile everytime you look at them. I think that's a great outfit but the shoes will make it "pop"!

lisaneedsarest · 09/05/2012 17:10

The silly ones are great!!! And not really silly at all if you ask me, just lovely!!!!!!

Chrestomanci · 09/05/2012 17:12

That is a very good point Bunny. I'm going to regret it if I don't get the glittery ones aren't I?

Told you so Smile

'sensible' red shoes are an oxymoron.

valiumredhead · 09/05/2012 17:39

Tap your heels together 3 times and see if they take you home Wink

StellaAndFries · 09/05/2012 17:41

I love the sparkly ones.

Astr0naut · 09/05/2012 17:50

Sparkly. If you have to wear maternity clothes to an occasion, you need fabulous accessories.

I had to wear mat dress to my sister's wedding, but borrowed THE best hat from someone in work and wore my highest heels.

Eglu · 09/05/2012 17:51

A friend of mine has some very similar ones to the sparkly ones, but they tie with ribbon.

She wore them to go and see Wicked.

SeaHouses · 09/05/2012 17:59

You must buy the sparkly ones. I'd buy them if I had anywhere to wear them.

Msarsebiscuit · 09/05/2012 18:12

You did the right thing, there is NOTHING better than glittery shoes.

Chrestomanci · 09/05/2012 18:25

I may have to print this thread out & show it to DH! Astr0naut _ I like your style - I can see this being an expensive pregnancy!

I have red sparkly shoes- also from schuh but without a strap and with a bow in the front- very Dorothy. I wear them to work sometimes, with boring black trousers and a dull red jumper. Makes me smile EVERY time I see my feet. I say go for the sparkly ones.

mirpuppet · 09/05/2012 21:35

Sparkly

drywhiteplease · 09/05/2012 23:06

Agree next look cheap . Dress is lovely. Go for the glittery ones because you are pregnant and deserve them and you have always wanted them. You will look beautiful.
