What shoes would you wear with this dress?

I bought this lovely dress in the Monsoon sale because I have two christenings and a wedding to attend this month. I thought maybe some plain white strappy sandals, but after spending hours in the shops today apparently they don't exist (unless I'm prepared to pay a fortune for 'bridal' ranges Hmm )

I'll admit, I'm a compleye fashion dunce, what else would go with it?

Nude shoes. Sales are on so get looking. Grin

LurkeyLurkerson · 11/07/2012 21:55

Thank you Jax, nude did not occur! Do you mean court shoes or something different? Would I need a matching nude colour back? I told you I was a fashion dunce Grin

How about these with either this or this? I can't tell if the dress is orange or pink Confused, sorry! I like it a lot though.

ProcrastinationAteMyMorning · 11/07/2012 22:31

No matching bags to shoes!

Yummymummyyobe1 · 11/07/2012 22:37

ProcrastinationAteMyMorning · 11/07/2012 22:42

Is that coz you is loaded yummy? Wink

Yummymummyyobe1 · 11/07/2012 22:47

ProcrastinationAteMyMorning I think I have misinterpreted the question as "what I would wear with the dress" I would consdier said shoes and bag an investment as they would go with almost everything/ Wink thats what I tell DP anyway Wink

tethersend · 11/07/2012 22:55

I'd go with yellow ones

ProcrastinationAteMyMorning · 11/07/2012 22:57

Ooh, yellow would be great. And bag wise tethers?

tethersend · 11/07/2012 23:00

Ah, you'd hate me- I'd match the bag Grin

This for example

ProcrastinationAteMyMorning · 11/07/2012 23:05

Snot matching is toning, I like it. More than legal in my book FWIW.

these are still yellow but maybe a bit less daunting

ProcrastinationAteMyMorning · 11/07/2012 23:07

yellow sandals

JaxTellerIsMyFriend · 12/07/2012 07:29

yes re the Louboutin style shoes. And toning handbag.

JaxTellerIsMyFriend · 12/07/2012 07:30

House of Fraser and all dept stores sales are on and I had a good look the other day when in town - was killing time, but couldnt find a pair that I loved.

There are lots of lovely coloured shoes and plenty of nude in different styles, lots of strappy sandals too, but nude would work with most outfits.

LurkeyLurkerson · 12/07/2012 10:30

I'm really rubbish at this, thank you! Yummy those shoes are fab, but I can just imagine their faces when I enter their shop with my single crisp £20 note Grin

So nude or yellow? What about gold?

And I'm not allowed to match? What is toning? I think I have a special colourblindness, I honestly can't tell if colours look good together or if they clash!

I love those yellow clarks ones. I had been coveting them and when I went to buy some found they didn't suit me Angry

Yummymummyyobe1 · 12/07/2012 22:00

I would go for the nude shades as they can be matched to anything and it is said that they lengthen the leg. Smile

marriedinwhite · 12/07/2012 22:10

I don't think yellow goes with that dress. I think white would be too much as well. I think you need nude shoes and perhaps a coral bag if you can find one; nude if you can't. Have a look in New Look - am always surprised at how nice their shoes are - and buy for dd in there sometimes. Personally I also think that dress would look nice with ballet flats - could get away with white I think but nto with a white bag.

Should find some shoes here

Ok Ladies, you've all been really helpful, some of these colours would never have occured to me. I have bought these shoes with this bag. I've left the tags on so can return if you think they don't go! Trawled the town and the retail parks the past couple of days, lost the will to live, then gave up and went to my local Matalan up the road!

LurkeyLurkerson · 13/07/2012 11:15

I don't think the bag link worked

trying again

They will look great with the dress and will also look great with jeans.

LurkeyLurkerson · 16/07/2012 20:08

Thank you Yummy didn't think of that! Was only this morning I was dispairing (sp?) of my usual boring SAHM uniform of jeans plain tops and flats! Might be able to glam up after all!
