I have a non-existant budget, so the cheaper the better, but I need some nice sandals/shoes and something to keep me warm in the evening to go with this dress:

this is the dress Th flowers are a lot more gold thn thy appear in the picture.

I am clueless about nice shoes and stuff, so really need help! I have huge wide horrible feet size 7 and cankles too.

blinks · 15/05/2010 22:50

just saw this dress myself... velly niiiiice.

these are £15.

the pink one's here are £15

plain god peeptoes here £25

pretty satin gold shoes here £25

duck egg blue ones here £25

sweet cheap little gold button cardi here

gorgeous pink glittery slingback here bit pricier at £40

basically, i'd either go gold, nude or a bright red or dusty pink, accessories-wise.

blinks · 15/05/2010 22:54

ok - these are goddam perfect- here

they're wide fitting, gold with heel to balance cankle. £35.00

Oh Bliinks thank you so much, I am going to look through all your links this evening whn I have some free time and make a decision.

Glad people approve of the dress, it was lovely MNers who found it for me!

I still need help, those shoes are all a bit too fancy for me to fel comfortable in, I am used to quite conservative shoes I guess and couldn't rush around in some of those heals!

Do they make sandals with kitten heels? (those are little right?)

OP posts:
blinks · 18/05/2010 10:14

these are lower and right colour

these nude pink and kitten heel

these are perfect- gold, kitten heel and £15.

blinks I searched high and low in town this afternoon, all the office shoes where gone, and I ended up buying these.

Will they go?

OP posts:
cyb · 19/05/2010 17:23

If you suffer from cankles i think a heel is more flattering personally

overmydeadbody · 19/05/2010 17:26

oh dear cyb.

Ok, all I can do now is try on the shoes with the dress, get some honest opinions from RL people, and keep looking

OP posts:
Eddas · 19/05/2010 17:54

i think that dress would look nicer with heels. But they might look ok in RL.

I'm having toruble finding shoes etc to match a dress I bought for a wedding. It's a nightmare isn't it?

overmydeadbody · 19/05/2010 18:47

Yes Eddas, complete nightmare!!

I want heels but also sandals, or peep toe, the shops only seem to stock trashy looking gold ones

OP posts:
blinks · 19/05/2010 21:26

bugger.

check out the www.newlook.com website and do a search on gold shoes. there's a good few good value mid/low heel shoes there that would go well with that dress.

i wouldn't go for the flats- you need a but of height to balance the volume of the dress, esp if you've got cankles.

overmydeadbody · 20/05/2010 22:48

blinks just to update you I found some perfect gold wedge sandals in New Look today, horray!

I will be taking the flats back to DP tomorrow.
