What shoes with this dress?

19 replies

WineIsMyCarb · 08/02/2019 21:13

Bought this on the summer with no particular 'occasion' to wear it to. Now I do - I'd like to wear it to the 'next day bbq' after my Dsis's wedding in NZ next week.
So it's going to be hot, pretty informal (don't mind being most dressed up there - only there for 3 days total so want to look my best each day!)
I'm 5'8" and a sz 12-14. Norky, good legs.
I have white strappy heels and white courts (yes indeed!) but both seem too dressy, flip flops / strappy flat sandals seems too flimsy somehow...
the blue in the dress is almost an electric blue, not navy, so any navy espadrilles would be wrong.
Help!! Smile

Silver sandals

dontcallmelen · 08/02/2019 21:27

Silver or yellow would look good.

Espradrille wedges

I also think espadrille wedges in a bright colour - office has some nice orange ones here and in yellow here. I like these bright red ones from dune too.

For the BBQ day after the wedding I'd wear with saltwater sandals (i.e. flat and comfortable shoes) in a bright colour, yellow or green or red probably, whatever you will use the most in the future.

habibihabibi · 09/02/2019 05:10

Bright, gold, silver or tan wedges .
Not white.
White shoes ,aside plimsols or trainers always look odd and cheap.

Jandals Wink

ReginaPhalange89 · 09/02/2019 08:29

That's pretty . I'd personally wear them with wedges , espadrille type ones , still nice but not as formal as heeled sandals .

Or flat white sandals I guess

DontCallMeCharlotte · 09/02/2019 16:19

Lovely dress OP and I think those white sandals you linked eould be perfect.

Confuzzled19 · 09/02/2019 16:28

I think brown or nude scrappy heels / wedges - always look good with blue tones and in the sun

jackstini · 09/02/2019 16:41

I would go wedges too:
Not sure if you like platforms or flatter but a couple below in yellow and blue

Love the dress - where's it from?

Thanks everyone. Ok I'm hearing you re avoiding white shoes. And I've gone for these totally impractical heels Wink but a perfect colour match... www.office.co.uk/view/product/office_catalog/2,37/2448330476

Will be relying heavily on those heel stopper things for standing on the grass ~and may just take them off once a couple of pictures have been taken~
Thanks all!!
