Hi all,
25th birthday coming up, wanted something fun but not too much for meal & drinks. I have found the attached and love, however, unsure on shoe style?
I’m thinking maybe military style heeled boots? Or no? Please give me your opinions 😄!

I would go for an unfussy heeled boot - possibly suede like these

Olivetree615 · 19/01/2020 22:29

Thank you Lucked - I just worry something like that will cut my leg off & make me look even shorter (I’m pushing 5’3 aha!)

I would go for boots too

managedmis · 20/01/2020 00:36

I'd go for black heels personally

I'll be honest, I really think the dress is horrid. But, as a fellow short arse, if I had to wear it, I'd wear it with a V shoe boot these

Thank you for your honesty SetTheScene 😄😄 here’s it on if that helps- I’m still not 100%, all depends on the shoe!!
Ignore the giant bruise, I walked into my car door Confused

Shoe boot.

Wow I think that looks amazing on you - where’s it from?
I think a shoe like the style you have on in black would dress it up, or shoe boots would dress it down.
Have a lovely birthday 🥳

I actually like the dress! And when you're that slim you can pull anything off Smile

I didn’t like the dress in the first pic either but it looks really great on you OP! The sleeves are fantastic. I agree, you need shoes similar to the ones you’re wearing, but black suede to echo the sleeve dots. I think a chunky heel would look cooler but a stiletto sexier and you’ve got great legs so can do either - but definitely a pointed or almond toe as anything round will give Minnie Mouse vibes.

You look amazing! I'd wear black courts, same as in picture except in colour.

Olivetree615 · 20/01/2020 08:26

Oh you guys!! Thank you! I was thinking maybe something like this but unsure?

Dress looks fab on you, love the sleeves!
Love the boots you suggested too, great outfit Smile

Olivetree615 · 20/01/2020 08:51

Thank you Showmeyourhero, maybe I'm better at this than I thought! :D

Looks good on you and with those shoes, not so nice in the first picture but you wear it really well
