Help! What shoes with this dress?

PaulineMonicaMole · 19/05/2022 08:40

Event coming up on Saturday and I just can’t think straight. Event is is a woodland setting and host recommended wedges. Have a small silver clutch and will be wearing small teal fascinator. I’m 5 foot 3 and a size 6 shoe. Happy in heels. Just want to look as stylish as possible.

£100 budget.

thank you in advance!

UGG wedges are super comfortable and they usually do a few colours.

jeaux90 · 19/05/2022 08:46

Also Unisa, but not quite as comfortable as the Ugg ones

I probably wouldn't wear wedges with it but what about a chunky nude heel?

Something like this?

@fluffyrainbowllama I agree block heels would look better in nude or gold, but if it's woodland then the suede might get damaged/muddy

These or something similar

For the love of god do not wear wedges with that dress.

It's a beautiful dress but wedges wouldn't go at all. A block heel in black or perhaps silver might look good.

Have a lovely time!

Thank you so much! My brain was truly fogged.

love the silver block heel suggestions - I’m going with the next ones.

now - as they are open toed what colour shoe polish? Oh my goodness, making one choice just opens up more decisions to make …………

In a woodland setting I'd be wanting to wear wellies or trainers!!

Black, nude, white, pale pink would work for toe polish colour. Tbh I think most things would.

Maybe match your nail polish to your lipstick / make up / eyeshadow :)

The Next shoes are by a brand called Linzi who have their own website with loads of heel options in a whole range of colours, they are my go to for event shoes!

Lovely dress by the way OP, where is it from?

SookieHouseboat · 19/05/2022 09:59

beautiful dress! Red nails would look amazing.

RubiesandRose · 19/05/2022 09:59

I would go with a pale pink or teal polish.

Definitely not red as you move into Christmas party territory with a green dress and red nails!!

SookieHouseboat · 19/05/2022 10:04

An orange based red would look amazing, not blue based. Red is always a classic, only someone thinking very obtusely would think of Christmas

Drame · 19/05/2022 10:08

Where is your dress from?! It’s beautiful

agree with others about no wedges or flats! If you can’t find a block heel you like what about getting some of those high heel protectors that are often handed out at weddings?

thank you! I do appreciate all the help.

For those that were asking, the dress is from self-portrait. A talented stylist on here @nofrills helped me find it. She was nothing short of amazing because, as I’m sure you can tell, I’m clueless at style!

I’m a jewel winter, hence the silver bag, so I will be wearing fuchsia lipstick because it just does something magical to my face. I’m having a manicure and pedicure tomorrow so will take along photos of the dress and shoes while wearing the lipstick and get their advice as well.

@SookieHouseboat I am not being obtuse.

I just associate red and green as a Christmas look. It's my opinion and it's okay for me to give it, as it is for you to give yours without being insulting.

Just placemarking my name here for anyone interested x

itsnotmeitsu · 22/05/2022 20:53

The dress is lovely, but personally I wouldn't wear it with a fascinator. I'd pair it with Doc Martens, but that's what I'd like, not you. What I'd mention, as a tip, is that when I went to a concert in woodland (Dalby Forest) I wore short wellies and jeans. I thought I'd feel a bit out of place, but on the night it had been pouring all day and I felt as if I fitted right in, as opposed to those who were wearing high heels and short dresses. And I could also fight my way through the mud to the car park afterwards.

itsnotmeitsu · 22/05/2022 20:54

Meant my message for the OP.

RampantIvy · 22/05/2022 20:57

That is a stunning dress. I live near woods and walk in them regularly. I can't imagine wearing heels there. What will you do if it is muddy?
