What can I wear on my legs and feet with this dress, please?

Hi
I would really appreciate some advice. I have a friend's 50th birthday party in a couple of weeks. I found this dress and one a bit like it but with a 'nude' lining under lace and more of a 50s shape.

uk.monsoon.co.uk/view/product/uk_catalog/mon_6.25/3530180108

The dress comes just below the knee on me and I have fairly chunky calves and some thread veins in the foot area but nothing horrific. My skin is too pale to just leave bare though.

I'm not good with high heels and I have wide feet. I do have a very comfy pair of strappy black eveningish sandals with a bit of a heel but they are very 'open' over the foot so I wouldn't be able to wear tights.

So do I get a spray tan on my legs and wear the exisiting sandals?(Hmm to the Body shop for discontinuing their gradual tanning lotion)

Do I get different and more closed in shoes so I can wear dark tights?

And if I get a tan - how do I make sure it looks ok as I've never had one before?

Thanks very much in advance. Smile

Well alright then, shoeboots it is!

I'll tell DH that it's MN law when I drag him around shoe shops on Saturday. To be fair, he did get final say on which dress.

Many thanks to you - shoeboots and opaques. Done!
