I'm wearing a long, elegant black dress to a "do" and I need a pair of stylish heeled silver shoes to wear with it, but I can't find any anywhere. Don't have alot to spend.....

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

very sexy !

pukkapatch · 13/01/2008 20:53

do you have broad feet or skinny feet?
make sure the shoes are comfortable. spenidng more on a pair of shoes is often cheaper in the long run, than a twenty on a cheap pair worn once.
never buy online, unless they do free returns andyou are willing to make lots o f trips to the psotoffice. fwiw, i biuy evertyihing else online, except shoes

went into town today and couldn't see any I liked .

But, I picked up a pair of purple stiletoes which I love, and will I hope go with the dress.

what do you think of these?

new look are fab for shoes (i bought a tab apir in Dune that cost £65 then an identical pair in New Look in black for £20 )

The ones that gok had on HTLGN were fab, they were from Faith and in the sale. Lotsd of silver on their site for about £50

Flier · 14/01/2008 18:17

mosschops I did look in newlook and saw a lovely pair of silver stilettoes, but they didn't have them in my size, sadly.

I saw the "Gok" shoes, but they're not my cup of tea, bit too "bling" for me

I didn't think to look on the faith website, but I need these shoes for Sat night, so not sure they'd get here in time.

Do you have a Faith near you? What about Dune, I know its overpriced but you cant fail to find a nice pair of shoes in there
Tried Topshop?
Dorothy Perkins?
Next?
Office?
Schuh?

(dont know where you are country-wise and if you have all these)

Flier · 14/01/2008 18:22

sorry MMJ I didn't like any in next.
Mosschops, I'm near inverness which isn't the best for shoes, or anything for that matter . We've recently acquired a jones bootmakers, but the only ones i liked they don't have in my size either

I've tried scuh, jones BM,next,debenhams, new look, monsoon, clarks.

Don't you like the purple ones?

OP posts:
mosschops30 · 14/01/2008 18:29

Sorry but I dont like the purple ones, they look a bit 80's to me, not a big fan of dolcis anyway.

There are some fab ones in dune, have just been dribbling looking at their website

Flier · 14/01/2008 18:33

hmm, used to love dune when I stayed in the central belt

just looking on their website just now.
