What do you think?

Crappy lighting but boots are a darkish leopard print.. i have a darker plain pair but they aren't ascomfy.

The dress is black and sequeny.. too busy?

I would go for plain

Are the sequins black? It's hard to tell in the pic. If yes, then yes to the boots.

Lovely Dave (come and ask the Hushistas - i'm sure they will all agree with me !)

I like them, the dress is gorgeous too.

@Laska2Meryls 😘

Thanks for the comments.. tried to upload a pic of the plainer boots but I have uploaded too many pics today apparently 🙄

I like them, but I think they're more of a casual 'jeans' boot. Would like to see the other ones.

I think the leopard skin is too busy. If the dress was all black I think it would work but I don’t think you can wear animal print with another pattern I’m afraid.

Go for it. Leopard print is a neutral, according to the fashionistas.

Gorgeous @Dave, as ever Smile

Thanks all..mixed opinions..I'll upload the plainer boots tomorrow, although they are actually a very dark green!

To be honest I want to wear the dress but also want my feet to be comfy-ish..the eternal battle of glam v comfort!

With the plainer boots (although they do have studs round the ankle.)

Definitely the plainer boots - I'd go so far as to say shoes personally.

But, blimey, that dress is divine!

Maybe I'll have a rethink...

Hi Dave - you look gorgeous as ever. The dress is absolutely stunning. I have to say though that I think it works best with the plainer boots. I know that print mixing is meant to be a thing at the moment but personally I don't think it works. Just my opinion though. You would look lovely in a black sack so I think you should wear what makes you feel best. 😍

I agree, the plain boots are nicer.

I LOVE the dress (where is it from?)
