what would you wear with this?

hey ladies

i'm looking for something to wear for my work and hubby's work christmas parties.
i've found this and this

what would you wear with them?

i'm 5 foot 2 size 10, short legs which are pasty and usually bruised!

is was thinking leggings and some heels? am i right? and what sort of heels?

I love the first one in black. I can't tell how short it is but if not indecent then I'd go for opaque black tights over leggings. Maybe a shoe boot

I've just brought a dress in very similar colurs recently.
I also think black opaques would look good and maybe some metalic coloured shoes such as [[http://www.newlook.co.uk/1797080/179708014/ProductDetails.aspx these]. I'm loving the tights and peep toe look at the moment.

it says mid thigh online and i'm a shortie so probably not too rude for tights!

i have an aversion to shoe boots though! don't know why i just can't stand them.

any alternatives???

whoops here

I think the second one looks more tunic like (it does say upper thigh ) so I think that would look nice with some black leggings or 80 den footless tights and some killer heels maybe platforms in black purple or metalic.

adriennemole - found the shoes, they are lovely but so much higher than i could manage. especially as i'm planning on drinking which will mean staggering as i'm such a lightweight after having DS!

Ok so maybe not so much 'killer' heels I've got a similar coloured pair though and they seem to go with everything which is helpful.

yeah colour is great!

any ideas about alternative heels that are a bit less killer!

i love the second one in both colours but prefer purple.

Hmmm if you're wearing thick tights or leggings I think you should go for quite a solid shoe as opposed to party sandal types.

My go with everything shoes are t-bar, peep toes with quite a thick (though high!) heel. These are ok though not really what I was thinking but you get the idea. Platform courts I think would go well with tights though they maybe too high.
