I think the Office ones would spoil the dress are. I think the dress need something with an open toe. I like both of the ones Frenchgirl linked and think either one would look Fab

I agree with Anniemac's comments - go with what you feel comfortable in and what you like. On a website full of different women - there is never going to be concensus.

JoolsToo · 10/04/2006 14:41

didn't see the first M&S ones - they'd look great too. I like that they're not too high - High looks good but for me are agony to walk in let alone bop! Grin

Also if you're on a budget or you wouldn't wear them again I'd go for the M&S ones.

georginarf · 10/04/2006 14:48

god there must be some shoes somewhere to go with that lovely dress

any of these? (can you tell I'm bored....)

but actually think those M&S ones might be fine anyway. and agree ankle straps can cut off your legs and make them look shorter.....

georginarf · 10/04/2006 14:49

hmm some of those don't look too good now. Sorry!

Piffle · 10/04/2006 15:00

I tried on the M+S ones yesterday but the heel is too low :(
This is a sodding nightmare - I thought finding the dress was hard enough
Think the 2 dunes that frenchgirl linked too are perfect but possibly too high

Re reading this thread I sound like an impossible to please old bag Blush

OP posts:
georginarf · 10/04/2006 15:08

you know I saw some lovely pink & sliver ones in Jigsaw, but they'd cost loads.

the dune ones are lovely

any luck on jewellery & accesories?

Piffle · 10/04/2006 15:11

yes jewellery/accessories are old gold fine chains with little old gold circles dangling..

OP posts:
georginarf · 10/04/2006 15:16

lovely!

anyway, tell me to bog off if I'm not helping, but anything along these lines? I'm having a lovely time surfing the net for shoes
\link{http://www.girlsofelegance.co.uk/acatalog/GOEL7715RedCourtShoes.html\1} or the same in bronze

\link{http://www.girlsofelegance.co.uk/acatalog/LS8124FashionShoes.html\2}

because if you can't find suitable gold strappy sandals (and they're too uncomfy) maybe something bronze....or something not strappy.
I'm getting really obsessed with this, just think it's because it's such a beautiful dress, wish I could wear it Grin

Piffle · 10/04/2006 15:17

lovely shoes georgina, heels very spiky for lumbering clumsy ass like me though LOL

OP posts:
georginarf · 10/04/2006 15:21

no i can't find anything that doesn't look deeply uncomfortable!

you might have to go and trawl TKMaxx or something and hope for the best!

Piffle · 10/04/2006 15:37

Trawled TK Maxx yesterday :(
Peterborough tomorrow I will come home with shoes...............................

Go and try those Dune ones Piffly one, they might be comfier than you think.....

puff · 10/04/2006 15:45

piffle, I saw some in Next yesterday - sort of an "old" gold colour, with heel, not too high, strappy - have you been in a Next shop to try any on?

Piffle · 10/04/2006 15:47

I went to a Next superstaore in Lincoln, there was a few nice pairs, one really nice brown with the right coloured beading but there sizing is rubbish as is way too wide for me

JoolsToo · 10/04/2006 15:56

moondog · 10/04/2006 16:24

Fimbo,can't do with mules.
Think they shriek 'slattern'.
Piff,there were some nice ones in Observer 'Woman' last Sunday too.

I liked those ones that JT described as 'very special occasion.

Tutter · 10/04/2006 16:29

can't decide whether \link{http://www.debenhams.com/jv/product_details_jv.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=9206165&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=8391023&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=7023769&CONTENT%3C%3Ecnt_id=9499&bmUID=1144682897243\these} ming or not. not, i think.
