Any opinions gratefully received...I have brought this after searching everywhere to wear for my neices wedding in August. It is actually great quality and looks more pink than the photo. What colour shoes do you think I should go with?

I have brought a snakeskin clutch to match the belt but I feel matching shoes as well will be a bit much? Or would that be better? I'm a bit clueless!

I was thinking a dark grey or pewter colour to at least match the colours in the belt and bag. The other problem I have is that I tower above DH in heels so don't want them too high but not too low so they look frumpy..

Any ideas would be great, TIA!

@Silver yes I am a bit of a slave to a heel😁
The ones you picked are excellent because the silver would be more low key/classic elegant and the pink would be more fun and might bring out the pinkness of the dress and make the dress a bit more "party".
I got this new thing this week, a competed stick for new strappy shoes. You rub it on your feet where the straps go and it's supposed to stop them rubbing as much. I'd definitely give those shoes a few decent practice wears before the day. Nothing like sore feet from new shoes on a long day.
Good choice. Enjoy.

@GlamGiraffe ooh that sounds good, where did you get that from?

Yes I was thinking maybe the pink may make the dress look more pink, I'm hoping the shades look ok together as I've never had pink shoes before! Grin although I feel my DD may be wanting to pinch them now she's the same shoe size and is drawn to anything pink

Do you have any shoes in mind if the dress is good for you when it arrives?

@Silver not sure how long it will take to come, how long did yours take?
Need to see the real colour.
I already have lots of basics all terrifically high. Dull gold slingbackss which I wear with everything as they're almost like a glamorous nude, silver but not very shiny sandals, bright neon patent shoes, fusciA sligbacks, fuscia stilts😂 sandals with a snakeskin detail. I've I so got a snakeskin pair but don't like them. Don't think they look good on my skin. If it comes this week I can show you colour combos😂😂
Haven't had the shoe steal g DD issue as gave DS wh is 6'2" with size 12 feet, not have DD age 2. Always in the shoe cupboard🙄🙄

@GlamGiraffe Grin she is starting young! Wow, sounds like you have quite a shoe collection already! I think they took about a week to actually arrive. Hope you like it. Do you have an occasion in mind to wear it to?
