urgent - need to buy prom shoes TODAY

[likewhatyoudo]

What style would you advise? dd (16) has bought a fabulous burgundy House of CB prom dress from vinted (Anastelle). She only has today to find shoes. Looking for something affordable because most of her budget has gone on dress, nails, earrings. She will need to try on because she has narrow feet, high arch. We live in a town with most chains (eg Next, New Look, H&M, John Lewis, m&S, office, ….)
She would like flats or very small heel. She has very pale white skin, gold blond hair, wears gold jewellery and she doesn’t like “her grippers” on show, so closed toe. Size 7 and narrow feet.
Suggestions gratefully received!

the beading is dark bronze

I would start with New Look for shoes.

For your brief what about these?

@Justyouwaitandseeagain all lovely, except for heels. DD is already tall, and she would be very wobbly and uncomfortable dancing and spending hours in heels.

@Justyouwaitandseeagain but apart from heels, those ideas look super - many thanks .

What about these? They say dark burgundy although looked a little brown to me.

New look are cheap and look great for proms. Your daughter will be wearing them for hours so make sure they are comfortable and think about some gel soles if they'll fit.

Love the dress. Mine has hers next week im so excited for her. Im also looking for shoes.
probably kitten heels.

Marking my place because my Dd has nearly the same query but less urgent

Gold coloured flats? Try the supermarkets, they have them in at this time of year

Gold converse ?!?!

If you have a riverisland near try there they are my go to for heels as they are always so comfortable. They have lots of low heels at the moment

@underseige05 unfortunately no River Island.

Are you out shopping yet? New Look shoes are great so I’d start there. Then Next. Then JL if you’ve exhausted the budget options as they’ll be up a notch.

DD thinks gold shoes isn't the vibe. Not even champagne or antique gold. Keep burgundy/other ideas flowing pls!

Do you have Primark? https://www.primark.com/en-gb/p/patent-ballet-pumps-burgundy-991151404368

or https://www.primark.com/en-gb/p/pointed-slingback-flats-burgundy-991155385368

If they’ve got to be bought today, surely going and looking round actual shops is going to be more productive than us sending links to things online that probably aren’t in stock?!

These are great - unfortunately no stock availability at our Primark .

Find a dance wear shop and buy ballet shoes?

Edited to say you could sew ribbons on if you wanted.

Taking your inspo, we used AI and found Zara has some cute options - we're going to rush down there...

Thanks everyone!

Funnily enough I've just been in New Look and saw these! They do look burgundy in real life and they looked very nice. They have other smart flats too. 20% off shoes at the moment.

That's a gorgeous dress @likewhatyoudo !

Do you have a South Asian area nearby? My DD and her mates found shoes in a random little shop. Loads of really pretty sandals and very cheap. Bags too.
