The lovely Dh has bought me this dress on line, and it arrived today. i tried it on in the shop a while back, but the one I tried on was black, this is navy. I really like it, I think it looks better navy, but heres the thing. I don't own navy clothes. I don't know what shoes to wear. I want to wear it tomorrow to the work night out, so new shoes are not an option.

I have:

Knee high dark brown flat boots
Knee high black high heeled boots
Knee high tan high heeled boots
Various sandally things, all very summery, and not suitable with tights.

I also have - jade green tights, purple tights, black tights.

I am pregnant, and would prefer to wear the flat boots. Can I?

I'm off out for a couple of hours, so will check back in for your wonderful advice when I get back!

Lovely dress

I wear a lot of navy and wear both black and brown with it. Depends how formal your work do is. I would have said the black high boots would be smartest with it. Also, if it is a meal then you will spend most of your time sitting down, no? So heel height won't be too much of an issue.

However, if it is more of a casual affair then the brown flat boots will be fine.

Go for black tights if wearing black heels. I would wear brown tights if I went for the brown boots option.

That's a lovely dress but I'm not sure it would look great with brown boots.

Have you got any pumps if you don't want to wear heels?

It's a lovely dress. But I have to say go out and get a pair of silver sandals/pumps in your lunch hour tomorrow. I got a pair of silver pumps in Sainsbury's for a tenner.

I like the silver pumps idea, but not sure I can afford even a tenner until Tuesday!

Will black tights work with navy?

Yes black tights definitely work with navy. I wear it a lot. In fact wore that combo last friday to a christmas works do

Navy with navy is just too matchy matchy.

Ok doke. Will try that out then. Hopefully will have enough in the bank for some silver shoes.

Thanks all.
