Need amazing shoes to dress LBD

21 replies

BaDaBing · 07/12/2013 17:00

Have ordered a fairly plain lace black dress for office party and now struggling to find amazing shoes to really dress it up. Have a black and neon pink clutch I'd like to use so been searching for a shocking pink but nothing suitable.

I'm a big heels girl - love a wee concealed platform and happy up to 6''. Only no go is peep toes - hate them.

Any ideas?

On sale here. Though the really nice ones at selfridges all have open toe, I noticed.

Personally, I'd go for something sexy but elegant like this

Think black lace and bright pink shoes might be hard to pull off, unless they're really £££ amazing shoes, and the dress is there to not overshadow them.

yes DO bin the platforms

Thanks for the links - Im not keen on an ankle strap, always feel they make my legs look stumpy.

No platform? Aw boo! Does it make a difference im 27, size 8/10 with decent legs? That make me more stripper actually now I think about it....

I think a small platform is still perfectly fine - sticks tongue out at Hanne.

Suede

Ponyskin

Super high sparkly

Simple platform

The office ones are lovely.

MoonlightMerrimentandMistletoe · 10/12/2013 00:17

The Office ones are good but, assuming you're in the market for more, and they have your size, how about:

slingbacks or

these platform courts to reference the lace

tethersend · 10/12/2013 19:10

I like the pink RI ones

JanineStHubbins · 10/12/2013 19:14

slug those shoes are FAB-U-LOUS. Have you got them? What do they feel like to walk in?
