I don't think bronze matters, but Moondog should probably advise! they had pewter too, might be better.

georginarf · 06/04/2006 11:31

pewter not better.
I do like the plum ones I found but yes, the colour match is probably off. gold/bronze are much better

I've ordered the red satin LK Bennett ones from the vivaladiva site - down from £120 to £40 I think - couldn't resist

georginarf · 06/04/2006 13:35

Piffle · 06/04/2006 13:47

I don't like them - too Joan Collins looking. I'm off to look now!

Fimbo · 06/04/2006 14:04

\link{http://www.marksandspencer.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Merchant_Id=1&Section_Id=8000&Product_Id=2001580\These?}. Quite a lowish heel and would look good with lightly tanned legs.

moondog · 06/04/2006 14:32

Fimbo,you're having a larf right??
No no no Piffle! Why do you have a 'Come Dancing' fixation??
Grin

Piffle · 06/04/2006 16:54

No Fimbo they're the wrong colour entirely.
Come dancing? Woz that then?

Don't get those 'paris hilton' asos ones - i ordered those, against my better judgement, and they were soooo cheap and nasty - horrible.

nailpolish · 06/04/2006 18:17

cod · 06/04/2006 18:18

i think cod may be right here - putting "cool" coloured shoes with a "warm" coloured dress

thewomanwhothoughtshewasahat · 06/04/2006 21:35

I really think you need red shoes(and DEEOP red nailvarnish) Think the dress is stunning and gold or bronze or any contrast would draw attention away from the dress and make the outfit fussy. You want a shoe that fits and doesn't detract. Now, you're going to say you'll never find a pair to match. not true. The trick is to get a pair that either is extremely strappy - so that basically there really isn't much colour, or to get a pair that involves 2-3 shades of red, that effectively blur and take on the overall tone of the dress. I have a fab pair of shoes like this - they go with everything. Unfortunately I go them about 3 years ago. however I will go and have a hunt.

thewomanwhothoughtshewasahat · 06/04/2006 22:35

I thought the dress was red. i see it's pink, in whihc cae pink shoes. I like the boden ones (if you mean the pink ones that I think you do)

WestCountryLass · 06/04/2006 23:26

What about:

www.clarks.co.uk/

menu, womens, sandals, Stipa in fuschia?

I have these and they are v comfy :)

Luggs · 07/04/2006 09:44

definitely gold shoes/sandals. What about LK Bennett ? Not cheap but the dress is so lovely it would be worth it.

Piffle · 07/04/2006 13:36

HOW annoying is the clarks website, what a load of fannying around
I found the gold sukie ones which seemed alright, no doubt you'll tell me off if they're not :)

I am still contemplating the boden ones \link{http://www.boden.co.uk/col.asp?segname=Women&styid=AR273&segid=6&gpname=Shoes+%26+Boots&desname=Jewelled+Kitten+Heels&gpid=18&gen=#\here}

i think too low

Piffle · 07/04/2006 13:39

I thought silver but it really does not suit my skin tone...
Lk Bennett gorgeous but tooo much has to be under £100 pref much less - need them pennies to go shopping in NYC with!

OP posts:
BingoStingo · 07/04/2006 13:40
