I have a few bits and bobs coming up, an evening wedding, a couple of Xmas parties. Also quite like the idea of making a bit more of an effort on Xmas day itself.
I love this dress, I know it's very simple but it's absolutely my style. I've seen it in the shop now and it's MUCH nicer in 'person', as it were. Not cheap but it looks beautiful.
However I won't buy it unless I have footwear sorted. It's a big purchase and I need to know I will get wear out of it and I won't get that wear unless I have the right shoes!
The ugly clumpy sandals in the picture are all wrong, I think. But obviously for a party it might need a sandal (sparkly?) Could I dress it down for a daytime event with ankle boots, or would that 'kill' the velvet vibe? And are sandals the only evening footwear that would work with it, do you think? Glam courts, otherwise? Something satin-y and pointy-toed, with a high heel?
I'm crap crap crap at getting shoes right and can't splash out £150 on a dress without being sure it's a goer!
Advice hugely appreciated (even if you hate the dress, I know it's not to everyone's taste but it's less monastic in the flesh, I promise!)
