So I'm going to the MOBO's...

[Sleepwhenidie]

and need a dress! Suggestions please...must be cool, but bear in mind i am 39, not 25.

So far i am looking at

this
this one
or this but slightly worried about the necessity of no bra!

£350 is top end of budget really but cheaper would be better. I should be ok with shoes/bags i already have.

how about these

Thanks for the compliments

Newmum, i will look out for PG and be sure to pass your message on

Thanks curtsey..not sure about the chunky heel on those, I prefer slim heels.

Do you think these would work? Also available in black.

Like those sandals river island have similar much cheaper that I also like...

Lordy - you look amazing - that dress is just wow on you! Better than on the model by far.

But looking back at the model - I quite like that style of shoe - have you looked in zara as they have some fab shoes in at the moment.

these

love these but perhaps too much for the dress

I think I'd go for understated barely there sandals so as not to detract from how fab you look in the dress

Wow! You look amazing. Agree that simple footwear is the way forward.

The dress is gorgeous on you - what a figure!

I love the really simple sandal from Zara that MrsCB suggested

Have fun!

I like the boots, but not those boots. I think you need something higher. However, you may feel more comfortable in shoes - some fab wedges with a lot going on heel wise, but fairly simple on the top part, maybe with a hint of greek goddess about them to echo the dress.

Not keen on the nude shoes love the look with black boots. Gorgeous!

Dress is stunning on you!

Dress is stunning but none of your shoes work - think you know that now though :) I like the silver ones you linked but like the Zara ones even more - very understated but also very high!!

Ooh I love a good frock thread. You look FABULOUS. I'm inclined towards the boots actually - the look is very now - but those aren't quite right.

I don't know what your shoes budget is, but The Outnet is pretty good for skyscraper heels. For example:

Herve Leger
Camilla Skovgaard
Alaia
Stuart Weitzman

Just seen Mrs CB's links. Love the studs.

Thanks everyone. Obviously I need to sort out some different shoes, but Queenbee, there is no shoe budget !

Think maybe I should ebay the nude shoes, jimmy choos, only worn twice so should get a good price, then look around...confused now between statemenht ones ( herve leger nice queen) or understated, thanks for zara suggestion mrs cb , will try those on first as reasonably priced, could avoid ebay if they work.
