Help me find shoes for this vavavoom dress!

I've just treated myself to this amazing dress

I want shoes that complement the retro style without being OTT. My first instinct is to go for leopard print so you can see my problem Blush . Will be wearing with bare legs rather than stocking as in the photo.

I hate Irregular Choose and any other Panto Dame shoes.

Can't wear stilettoes but can do a heel.

Budget up to £60.

Help!

Have bought the green ones!

The ankle straps were a no-no. I don't need help to look short!

I meant the green leopard. I like the other ones, and I think they'd go well with the dress, but I'm never sure about ankle straps. There is always the stumpy leg issue, on me anyway.

Grin Pants

Which ones do you think are fabulous? The Bettie Page or the Green leopard?

Those are fabulous. The whole outfit will definitely be memorable so I think it would take some out there shoes.

I knew Ruby Shoos would count as panto dame

Have had a look at Ruby Shoo. Definitely not my thing.

Thanks though.

Ruby Shoo do some nice styles that aren't too high, fairly study but not clumpy heels.

I'm only 5'4. Aren't ankle straps meant to be bad for short legs? Hmm

Have also found these which I kinda love but worry they fall into the OTT category?

Ankle straps draw attention, could look great.

Realistically (with my crap social life) it'll probably be Xmas before they get a run out Grin .

They're so pretty!

Love the spotty bit, but not sure about velvet at this time of year.

Love the last ones Moonlight. However I have horrible stumpy trotters that don't look good in very strappy shoes Sad .

I think I might have fallen in love with these.

Yup, can indeed - couldn't find anything decent in animal print without a skinny heel but, how about;

floral platform - might be a bit too 40's though

not sure if heel too skinny?

Thanks both.

Pants they're not my bag. I can't stand pointy heels or kitten heels.

Twinkle Love both of those esp the second ones. Off to browse. Thank you.
