A quest!Can someone please help me find some red and/or fuschia shoes for a ball?

Ok so I have my frock. It’s fuschia velvet. And to go with it I fancy some bright red OR red and fuschia shoes or maybe even shoe boots/ankle boots. The trouble is I have horrible horrible cankles and wide feet and cannot walk in heels. My general ‘look’ is, I am told, fairly quirky, I think quite trendy Grin , I am going for slightly sexy rocky look. I’ll post a picture of the frock.
Anyway so I was hoping for maybe some kind of cool flats with maybe some kind of adornment? Like tassels or pom-poms or something??? Anyone seen anything like that anywhere? Size 8 please! Please help, I’ve looked online everywhere!

The dress looks more raspberry pink to me, is the photo an accurate colour representation?

Kenworthington · 12/05/2018 19:32

Hmm not sure maybe it IS more raspberry, I think it’s a bit brighter than it looks there

Ooh I have just spotted these though. What do you think of these? Clearly I’m not planning on MATCHING my frock...

You also can’t telll from the pic but dress has a very high thigh split. I’ve done ‘demure’ at these things before and whilst I’ve looked ‘nice’ I’ve not really felt like me iyswim. Just trying something different . Don’t nirmally wear bright colours either!Shock

These Mint Velvet have a small heel but an ankle strap (which may or may not be flattering?). They are over budget but you could hold out for a Blue Cross Sale day, as the colour looks pretty good on my screen?

These are rather lovely in either the pink or the black

Sandals with a block heel?

Toe post sandals (might not be appropriate if it's a very formal do)

Kitten heel sandals - not very rock, but nice

Silver tempt you?

Multi colour flats

OlennasWimple · 12/05/2018 19:48

Ooooh! Hang on!

Not very rock, but these sandals from M&S seem to work colour wise? (I know, it's M&S, but don't discount without looking!)

Kenworthington · 12/05/2018 19:52

Ooh links thanks!
Red and pink loafers- quirky but not evening-y enough I don’t think. Annoying as they look comfy !

I really like the black embroidered mules, don’t mind the silver ones and really like the multicoloured ones.

Can’t wear an ankle strap because cankles 😬😩 otherwise the first pink ankle straps with tassel are nice.
I think they need to have some kind of glam thing going on. I’ll know it when I see it!

OP posts:
Kenworthington · 12/05/2018 19:55

Ah hmmmm yes those M&S ones are good colour wise. But not very evening. Quite like them though. They’d prob be nice with some jeans . Maybe. I dunno.

I vaguely remember seeeing some red suede I think pointed miles with huge Pom poms over the front on someone’s Instagram. But can’t remmeber who posted them or where they were from because annoyingly they’d prob be perfect

You could always customise a pair? Stick on your own Pom pims!

OlennasWimple · 12/05/2018 20:05

Too day time?

Interesting shape

Pom poms! Grin Grin

Curveball....fruit!

Kenworthington · 12/05/2018 20:30

Ooooh those ‘interesting ahape’ Ones look promising 👍🏼

Join our club- genius! Why didn’t I think of that?? There is a concern that one could end up looking a bit ‘blue peter’

I am hard to please aren’t I? I’m sorry. I do appreciate you all helping me trawl through

Do you have a dance shop near, that does ballroom/Latin shoes? Many years ago I worked in one and we sold white satin shoes in all different styles/ heel sizes and dyed them to order.

Kenworthington · 12/05/2018 20:40

Oh I don’t know but that s a great idea. Maybe a wedding shop might do it too?

OP posts:
Bonkersblond · 12/05/2018 21:00

Yes a wedding shop, they probably get requests to dye satin shoes to match the bridesmaids dresses.
