Thought's on these shoes

WhateverHappenedToFayWray · 21/07/2021 12:09

I'm going to a wedding at the beginning of August. I have found the dress I will be wearing but am finding it harder finding the right shoes. I'm quite tall (5'10) so I rarely wear heals but I've seen these and thought they are quite nice and the heal isn't too high. I like that they look quite "vintage".

What are your thoughts?

I will attach a pic of the dress and shoes

@MrsPelligrinoPetrichor

I thought the pics were of the OP too!
I would have just worn the shoes in the picture if that was the case. Sorry, I thought it was pretty obvious it wasn't me

I also thought the pics were the OP, plenty of people post real photos of themselves on here

Agree with all the other comments, the sandals are much better. You won’t be able to walk in the ASOS ones

WhateverHappenedToFayWray · 21/07/2021 16:39

I've never seen anyone post a picture of themselves showing their face on here

Loads of posters do.

I thought it was you op. I loved the hat and thought I wish I could pull that off like you!Grin

RichardMarxisinnocent · 21/07/2021 16:54

Why would I put a picture of myself on an anonymous site?
Plenty of people do, and the model does appear to be taking a selfie with her mobile in her bedroom, which is why I thought it was you.

Many people do, so others can see their colouring/size/shape and make suggestions.

I've NEVER seen anyone NOT explain that its a model, taking a selfie, and not themselves in the photo!!! Confused

WhateverHappenedToFayWray · 21/07/2021 17:08

Why is it an issue though? I genuinely don't understand? I thought it was obvious, but clearly not.

Because we are all making fashion suggestions based on the size, colouring, look etc of the model- not you!!!!
WhateverHappenedToFayWray · 21/07/2021 17:10

Like I said above I would have just worn the shoes in the picture of that was the case. I also said I never wore heals so I thought it would have been obvious. Sorry

OP posts:
WhateverHappenedToFayWray · 21/07/2021 17:11

My colouring is fairly close to the models though and I'm a size 10/12 so not far off

What about something like this

Op I realised the pic wasn’t of you

rishisboater · 21/07/2021 17:49

No I'm sorry they don't go with the dress at all. You need something more summery, not round toed and a lighter colour.

A small wedge with straps?

rishisboater · 21/07/2021 17:52

Oh I thought it was you in the picture too!

I've posted a couple of shoes that I've just ordered, one pair are flat espadrilles so quite similar.

Me too. Nice dress, not great shoes. Someone upthread posted a link to some M&S mules that look good.
WhateverHappenedToFayWray · 21/07/2021 18:05

@Blossomtoes do you mean the original shoes I posted or the ones I have ordered?

Somebody posted their unfettered tits on a weight related thread the other week 🤣

Anyway, it was perfectly obvious that the photos in your OP were of a model and not selfies.

The black ones don’t work but I think either of the pairs you ordered probably will. Toenails to match the dress would be nice with the sandals.
WhateverHappenedToFayWray · 21/07/2021 18:12

@LazyMareofEastown

But did they show their face? 🤣🤣

I'm going to go against the grain and say that neither of the sandals you've ordered are suitable for St Paul's Cathedral, especially the espadrilles. The dress could be smart enough but you really need a fabulous bag and shoes and, possibly, a hat. Weddings where I'm from are quite a big deal and most people wear hats.

Puffalicious · 21/07/2021 18:24

Also, why are you paranoid about looking 'huge? I'd kill for your height. Own it! My niece is 6ft and rocks her heels.

Thats why I was worried about wearing sandals.The couple who are getting married are both quite relaxed and I don't think they would mind what I wear unless it was really casual or offensive.

What shoes would you suggest?

It's something that I've been picked on for, mostly at school. I have a bit of a complex about my height
