This is my first venture into style and beauty so be gentle with me!

I, after much searching have found this dress

I now need shoes and bag, Im thinking maybe nude shoes and gold bag.... not sure tbh.

Its for a wedding and I need closed toe or peep toe mid heel shoes. £100.00 for both max!

Tia for any links.

oooh nice!
can't get links to load - look in Kurt Geiger sale under metallics - some nice shoes and a nice gold bag.

cyb · 02/05/2010 21:57

look at office for metallic shoes, I would go gold personally rather than nude!

isthatporridgeinyourzone · 02/05/2010 22:01

lol @ Cyb and mission to convert world to gold shooze. Would go for gold too.

luciemule · 02/05/2010 22:01

I would go purple shoes.

cornsilk · 02/05/2010 22:06

pssst cyb did you get the orange M and S dress yet?

flourybaps · 02/05/2010 22:08

Thanks for tips, just looking at office now. I was going to go for purple but was told it was naff to go for matching!

Its not clear on the link but the dress has a hint of a gold thread running through it so thats why I was thinking of gold.

Mind you Im pale! Can I wear gold and be pale! Agghh Im rubbish at this.

Are these too shiny gold for you? Also depends if you are a 4,5 or 6 mind!

They are a bargain though. I paid £60 for the same shoe in pewter and they are my favourite pair by far.

flourybaps · 02/05/2010 22:14

They are lovely goat but the dress is not glitzy, more dressed up hippy if you see what I mean!

You can wear gold - put some l'oreal sun shimmer on the day before you go. I love these Flats though but I would wear for summer wedding as the dress is the statement.

flourybaps · 02/05/2010 22:16

are these nice? too high though, I need a smaller heel.

luciemule · 02/05/2010 22:17

here

cyb · 02/05/2010 22:20

corny, bought marks dress (size 12!!) and I did like it but it was so clingy with static!

And uber short on me (I am tall) so grudgingly took it back. They were all reduced in the sale to about £20 last week ...half thought about rebuying it at that price then realised how ridiculius that idea was

flourybaps · 02/05/2010 22:22

They are lovely but I just cannot expose that much foot! My feet are not my best point. Will be getting myself some l'oreal sun shimmer though, thanks for the tip.

God after so long neglecting myself it feels fab to be putting the effort in. Havent shopped this hard for such a long time and it feels fab!

loooverly dress

I would go for gold sandals. Some options:
cage type affair
love these platforms though not sure if too high for your requirements
peeptoe

purple clutch

cornsilk · 02/05/2010 22:29

reduced - bargainous!
I really liked it but was too short for me.

luciemule · 02/05/2010 22:30

love those first ones Clure - gorgeous.

flourybaps · 02/05/2010 22:47

Thanks Clure, really love the peeptoe ones, just need to have a smaller heel....purple clutch is lovely.

OP posts:
luciemule · 02/05/2010 22:49

these?

luciemule · 02/05/2010 22:55

cover up quite a bit of your feet?

flourybaps · 02/05/2010 23:06

Oh thanks luciemule, I love those next shoes, very much my style. Im going to try them on tomorrow. I think the monsoon ones would actually go better with the dress though, but I prefer the next ones.

difficult... me?

Im going to try those both tomorrow, thanks.

Now.....bag! If im going for gold shoes should I go with a purple clutch so Im not matching too much? Or will that look odd?

OP posts:
Clure · 02/05/2010 23:13

not too matching is good

flourybaps · 02/05/2010 23:17

thanks clure

Im out of the loop can you tell

Think I need to get out a bit more!

OP posts:
gigglewitch · 02/05/2010 23:23

I totally love the next shoes. And the dress, of course.
Not a styleeee-type person, but maybe purple-ish bag? Good few of them to choose from atm. I really like the necklace that they've 'styled' with the dress on the monsoon site.

Another thought re shoes, my current fave is New look shoes

wineismysaviour · 03/05/2010 08:22

Love this new site, Metallic clutch here, or purple

luciemule · 03/05/2010 09:49

Dob't forget that those Next shoes are in the Directory and so may not be in the shop.
