ok, I';m going to a party in Feb and thought I would wear my vintage (I think 1950s) black wool crepe dress - I'll try to post a picture soon, but it's one I bought for my graduation all of 25 odd yrs ago from Chelsea Antiques Market - it is lovely with a fab neckline that frames shoulders and decolletage very beautifully,nips in at the waist and has a kind of tulip shaped shirt,going to below the knee - if you think Nigella Lawson curvy, only not as voluptuous- that kind of style. It still fits me as I tried it on this morning. The belt is missing -was a thin self covered belt so I have bought a thin black patent leather belt .. I am now wondering about shoes - would my gold mules look ok - they're medium heels,pointy and quite elegant ? what do you style gurus reckon ?

I think teal shoes would like good with seamed tights/stockings. Loads of shoe bargains about at the moment, wouldn't go for gold or silver though.

Love the teal Office shoes, so wish I could wear heels!

purple would work, but i think teal would be the way forward it would compliment the vintage style of the dress.
