Quick, going out in an hour & a half - blue tights, brown shoes?

[jamaisjedors]

Help!

A new dress is getting its first outing (had a thread about it a while ago, from Asos).

Have got blue (teal-ish - called cobalt) tights to go with it (the model on Asos was wearing them and black looks wrong.

Will brown shoes with a heel be ok?

The dress is kind of orange with blue trims (nice, I promise, universal thumbs up on here).

are tights opaquey or sheer?

opaque.

and what are shoes like do you have time to tell me

Ok found link to dress and now having a panic, her tights are much more navy and I think mine are too bright.

Hunting for pic of shoes...

shoes

No that's just gone back to the menu.
Hang on.

I actually think cobalt tights would be better. Navy seems to clash with the colour of the trim in the photo.

shoes

Goes to wash hair and put rollers in!

i think they would look quite nice with it

I agree with ilovejonty - the model's navy tights don't really do with the dress - yours will look better, and the shoes will look good with it.

OK great, glad to have some positive thoughts, otherwise would have had a total re-think and gone for jeans + top again.

Hope no-one laughs

read thread title and thought quietly to myself OMG but having opened your links it looks great - have a nice night out!

Will report on comments (probably only raised eyebrows from DH!).

Am doing a test-run at cm's daughter's 18th so hopefully blue tights will not be too out of place...

Want to wear it to work "do" next week.

I think brown and blue goes quite nicely together lol

Quick update : realised belatedly when putting on the dress that it has a brown lining which presumably the manufacturers think go with the dress.

So I think shoes were ok.

I think the tights were a bit bright, I felt self-conscious and got a few looks at me legs (not sure whether in a good way).

The only other person wearing bright tights there was the 18 yr old birthday girl - in bright pink ones with a black dress.

Most other people were in black so I felt a bit awkward but I have sworn to move away from the black since hitting 35 (this week) so at least I stuck to my resolution!

Thanks all.

Sounds lovely to me.
