...now help me with shoes.

here's the dress it is FANTASTIC.

it's pretty late forties early fifties imo, i'm thinking that a small platform peeptoe sandal (not unlike my styleesh grandma used to wear) would be good.

if anyone else is ordering from uttam (although god knows what, i couldn't find a single other thing that didn't make me actively barf) there's a discount code for 10% off your first order. postage is free too, and it's next day delivery. i'm really impressed with the quality, it's LOVELY. skirt is lovely and full and the large patch pockets give it that strange post-war feel, iykwim? it's mad, i love it. AND IT IVES ME A WAIST!

hhhmmm. what's the quality like on asos, i've never got anythig from them before and rather snobbishly assumed that because they advertise in heat that they're for teenies.

not a wedge but chunky heel and quite retro. Not sure if black and white stripe on heel will go though

twinsetandpearls · 20/05/2008 22:02

again not a wedge and am not sure about colour match but very cute. Comes with irregular choice health warning

JackieNo · 20/05/2008 22:03

Only orange clutch I could find at Topshop was this one, but not convinced about raffia, tbh. Maybe it's not online.

hoxtonchick · 20/05/2008 22:04

i have seen those r&b wedges in reality & they are gorgeous. but hiiiiiiiiiiiiigh. the green was v. nice.

twinsetandpearls · 20/05/2008 22:06

coral but look like agony and not a wedge

twinsetandpearls · 20/05/2008 22:07

coral wedges which I like a lot!

twinsetandpearls · 20/05/2008 22:08

coral heels

PerkinWarbeck · 20/05/2008 22:08

love those blue one, twinset

orange but will set off the cork-alarm

green de havillands in the sale

twinsetandpearls · 20/05/2008 22:09

coral wedge but rafia heel which can look cheap and nasty

JackieNo · 20/05/2008 22:10

Probably not the right blue, and maybe a bit ordinary?

JackieNo · 20/05/2008 22:13

Can't decide between yellow and red? - have both.

JackieNo · 20/05/2008 22:20

This in the 'orange' (though it looks yellow to me) - you might have to go to the main 'sandals' page to see it.

AitchTwoCiao · 20/05/2008 22:23

lolol, that bag is FUGLY. it's a leather one, my mate said.

you know, i'm not seeing anything that's replacing the R&B ones but now hoxty has me scared that they'll be too, too high. love those de havillands but the wrong colour. and twinnie, i think because it's a lawn do, it's best to stick with the wedge. plus i hear they're easy to walk on, is that right?

OP posts:
AitchTwoCiao · 20/05/2008 22:24

i think that last one's a bit ortho, iykwim?

OP posts:
JackieNo · 20/05/2008 22:26

Yuup - know what you mean. Thank goodness that's not the bag she means. Am heading to bed now, night.

AitchTwoCiao · 20/05/2008 22:39
