Help! What shoes with this dress for a July wedding guest?

[RJnomore1]

I’m getting myself confused. It’s so long since I’ve bought an outfit for a specific event! What would you wear? Colour, style, perhaps even a link! I’m 47, size 14/16 and can still rock heels of a good height so I think there’s options …

Nude heels

have you actually bought this dress ?

Nice frock.

Really it depends on your hair colour and skin tone. I wouldn’t generally suggest black shoes for a July event, but these would be lovely with black hair and a different coloured bag.

Gold, or silver, or rose gold would all work with that for a July wedding. I’d go silver sandals, with statement jewellery/earrings myself.

I have, why? @HateMyRubbishBoss

i did wonder about black. I’m Mediterranean coloured, can carry strong colours. Will have red lipstick probably if that gives a picture. Long dark hair and thinking of this hair clip :

I like the Zara ones too. That's quite a lady like look.

More black …

(Bit more up to date than the clumpy gold heels?) But yes, wonderfully ladylike!

Love these with this dress : https://www.jimmychoo.com/en/sale/women-sale/shoes/bing-100/champagne-glitter-fabric-mules-with-crystal-strap-BING100TAI120011.html?geoip=geoip&updatePreLocale=true&cm_mmc=GoogleUK--Shopping--Shopping-_-J00016052136&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwmrqzBhAoEiwAXVpgolgKqjnecdBv__m7GcqagMN15ZhusD2iS0fLV8-IGjGC8W6UDvyGxxoC5TQQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Dress is gorgeous and extremely elegant , that bow at the front would not flatter me personally hence my question
Is it fixed? Can you tie it on the side if you wanted to?

Ah! The whole belt comes off - it’s actually a swing dress and it comes with the belt. It’s Jasper conran if that helps? I was worried you knew something bad about it!

Wow is that the one ? Admittedly it’s stunning .. personally I d really go for nude heels!

Stunning dress and will look gorgeous with your colour. Personally I would go nudes or black, classic style heels. It is such a fabulous colour you really don't want the shoes detracting from it.

Enjoy!

That’s it - beautiful isn’t it!

It's a beautiful dress. I'd go with similar colour and heel height as it's been styled with. I don't think clumpy / clompy heels will look right with such an elegant dress.

I really don’t want flats though.

I have a dress that colour and wear gold with it

if you don’t mind the price …

Lovely dress, beautiful colour. I don’t think black works with strong colours.

I have a pair of green trousers in a similar colour and wear with gold heels.

If you're set on heels, then something like that is spot on. Or the classic, always available LK Bennett court. I think clumpy/ clompy block heels will detract from the elegance.

I had a look on the website. They haven't styled any of the dresses with heels and have gone for Audrey Hepburn style ballet flats, which looks so right. I think Esska are everything that was wrong with 1970s Top the Pops and aren't right with that dress.

Yes I was going to say gold as well. Pointed toe, kitten heel. With a hot pink bag.

Agree.

There's loads of possibilities on here - pink, gold, silver. The block heels are elegant too.

I had actually been looking at those jimmy choos too.,, love them but not sure about mules, lack of ankle support, a few drinks and a dance floor… although I’ll probably take some foldable ballet flats for later anyway which sounds like the right shoes to start with!

I want heels though… I like the Zara ones but they’re not leather and I’m not totally sold on black for the wedding… I’m fussy sorry!

Are these horrible?
