Dresses and footwear

[NotABanana]

What makes a dress need heels? What makes a dress look awful when worn with flats?

I have a lovely new dress and really want to wear it in the week but the heeled shoes won't do for the school walk. The lady selling it me said it needed a heel but having worn a longer dress last week with flats and it looking fine, I am wondering if this dress (just below knee) will be fine too with flats.

cheeky fecker

I trued the dress today with the black shoes but felt frumpy and a tad overdressed.

Uggs or Birkenstocks are my available choices. Can't help on the heel front - boots to unfrump it?

Too hot here for boots at the moment.

I have these which are a happy medium

Those might do.

My friend is coming round later to help me sort something out.

Wedges!!!!!!!!!!! Much easier to walk in than you might think.

what about these in red

I have just been and bought some choc buckle wedges from Next. They won't go with the dress but they will go with some other stuff I had. feet were too fat for nay black footwear I liked.
