Help me please!
Are these;

Ok to go with this dress, which in real life is orange, not red!

I can't find any sandals that are orange and aren't too high. I'm 5'10" so don't want huge heels and I have size 8 feet. I like these but can't get my size;

Thank you.

Ok, first off, what are you wearing it to?

Is it for holiday or wedding?

It's for a low key ball, school related.

I bought this dress on Saturday and yes, you are right, it's more orange than red (although I had an argument with my friend as she insisted it was red!).

I bought them with gold high heels.

Would you consider gold flat sandals?
They go lovely with that dress.

For example

Or

The shoes you chose unfortunately do not go at all BTW.

Sorry.

Don't mind the ankle strap ones, but not in my size. I'll keep looking!

They're very nice. Do you think the beads might catch on the fabric of the dress?

Love the dress, I think gold sandals woul be perfect. The Nine West ones are good. Do they have to be flat?
Will get my thinking cap on

Nombrechanger · 28/05/2013 20:39

It's hard to say. They shouldn't around the toe bit because I am 5'6" and in my 3.5 inch heels they're not touching my toes so its just the ankle bit but that part should be protected by the lining.

You could always return them, no?

fififolle · 28/05/2013 20:43

any good

Quite nice fifi, don't have to be flat but I'm tall and don't want to tower over everyone!
