Flat shoes with swishy dress?

[Lulumama]

going to party tonight, if i can defrost my car!!

wearing my swishy dress has a black bow. not the gold. and wearing silver cardi over it

have black patent cone heels, but not in a high heel mood,can i wear flat dark red patent ballerina flats, with a big bow on the front?

or will i look like i have had a style bypass?

pleeeeeeeeeeease don't let me make a serious fashion faux pas!

plllllllllllllllease!

Lulu I am no style icon and know practically nothing about party wear but tbh I think that dress needs heels.

ok, thank you ! it probably does, i am being a lazy mare not wanting to totter about in heels

Disclaimer is that I'm no style goddess but it does look like heels would be best. It's very pretty and I think heels would finish it. Flats would be a bit.... flat.

Unless you're v tall in which case, you may be able to carry it off?

Do the flats fit into your bag in case your feet hurt later?!

yes they would fit in my bag ! and am definitely not tall ! thank you

DO NOT WEAR HEELS - DO NOT WEAR HEELS - DO NOT WEAR HEELS

Good suggestion janeite!

Well, then as a short arse myself I say - no. Sorry....

oh no cariboo!! why? i was now in high heel mindset!

Heels will look best.

When you said about flat ballets with bow on I immediately thought 'mini mouse'!

Your black patent cone heels sound perfect actually. Can you drive in the flats and carry them in your bag in case your feet start hurting?

ha ha ! i am not remotely mouselike

more hippo and heifer like !

Depends on how good your legs and ankles are tbh. Only the very best calves and astonishingly well turned ankles can get away with flats and a skirt/dress, imo.

Heels will look much better than flats with that dress (which is lovely btw).

actually, NDP,i'll hvae you know i have gorgeous ankles and shapely calves

the rest of me is a whole other story !

so, heels on, flats in the bag and get a grip , basically?

Because an above-knee skirt & heels say 'slut' to me. Usually.

Also, above a size 10, heels with shortish party dress bring to mind hippos in Fantasia. Sometimes.

Heels on; flats in bag. Ignore Cariboo who clearly knows even less than the rest of us! Have fun!

lulu, I wasn't saying you had/have bad legs.

Yes, I'm sure you're right! (cod, come back)

Here's my pc answer: whatever you feel best in.

oh i know, NDP

PMSL at hippos in fantasia... the dress is knee length,. and i will be wearing tights

If Cod came back, she'd tell Lulu to forget the dress altogether and wear white knee length shorts!

Too right!

thank you ladies, you have made me larf!
