So I've got this dress for a wedding next week, but what shoes?

Thanks to previous guidance on this topic, I've picked up this dress to wear for a wedding next week.

Only problem is I'm now stumped for accessories! Was planning gold jewellery and a headband of some sort, but what about shoes? Perhaps gold? bronze? or something else?

Open to virtually any style but bearing in mind it has to be a low-mid heel as the wedding is going to involve lots of dancing and chasing after my 2 year old. And I definitely don't want to spend more than £40.

I've had a brief look online but havn't found anything I really like yet. apart from a very expensive pair of Manolos. Help? Blush

Lovely dress.
I think cream leather Mary Janes with a slightly blocky heel would be good, stay with the vintage feel of the dress and be comfy for dancing and chasing. I can't find any right now on my phone but will try to look later.

Ooh that's lovely Smile Mary Janes would be a good choice, could also maybe go with a navy? Def leather, not patent.

minibmw2010 · 24/07/2013 20:25

I know you said leather not patent but I have a beautiful pair of patent Mary Janes from Clarks and they are amazingly comfortable and look fab with colours like green. Beautiful dress.

Ooh lovely, thanks guys. Couldn't find any cream Mary Janes on the Clarks website though and struggling to find anything I like online generally...

I'm also thinking maybe t-bar shoes? So undecided!

What about something like this

silver with pee toe, would pick up the silver on the belt

silver again but a lower heal

I´ll keep looking I love shoes!

MiniTheMinx · 25/07/2013 10:18

Lovely dress, beautiful colour.

I think I would go for something bold and colourful with green in.

maybe these www.irregularchoice.com/shop/womens/product/4517/penelope.html?offset=69

But then I love mad shoes.

Planning on wearing gold jewellery so not sure about the silver - already have a pair of silver shoes I tried on with the dress but not sure it suits it.

LOVE Irregular Choice shoes Mini, own lots of pairs Grin. Can't really afford them now though remembers the days when you could pay £30 for a great pair.

I did find http://www.amazon.co.uk/Poetic-Licence-Womens-Natural-4111-3/dp/B00ABYE06U/ref=sr_1_14?s=shoes&ie=UTF8&qid=1374741421&sr=1-14&keywords=poetic+licence+6 these from Poetic License though.

Not sure if these are the right green or if they have the right size.

look to be a good match on screen

inneedofrain · 25/07/2013 10:37

Also these

cream mary jane sling back

makemineabacardi · 25/07/2013 10:47

A bit dark the first ones inneedofrain but they are lovely. I fear the second ones may be too high for me Blush. Thanks though Smile

There's just too much choice!

MiniTheMinx · 25/07/2013 12:50

These look very pretty, they are a mid heel in a muted gold, very grown up.

Like the classis nude ones Vibbe Smile

Mini - had no idea New Look sold IC shoes, not for this dress with those ones but tempted to buy anyway Wink

Like the muted gold ones too unfortunately they don't have my size Sad
