is wearing same colour shoes as dress to a wedding a real no no??

[nowwearefour]

i have no sense of style but do have a great dress to go to a wedding this weekend. i have found lovel matching colour shoes but they also come in black. should i wear matching colour or black? the dress is this but in purple. The shoes are these.

Not black. Deffo the purple if it's a good match. Otherwise, um, silver? I'm rubbish at S&B though

Have you seen them both in reality or just online?

They look nice

no i have them in my house! i bought the dress in the sale in jan (been going to the gym 3 times a week since i bought it to look ok in it!). shoes i bought today. just had a look. they arent a good match. damn !

def not black, colour much better

Is the dress teh same just purple where it's turquoise? Why not the shoes suggested by Monsoon on that link or are they too pricey?

yes indeed the dress is the same just not turquoise (though that is nice!) it is def purple. those shoes are quite pricey.....

thanks. now i have learned that black is worse than a colour i am pleased! i havent a clue.....i have got some strappy ones already similar-ish colour to the ones on the picture. that be ok do you think?

Strappy gold? Think they'd look fine. Or browse Amazon for shoes or Schuh - may get similar to the Monsooon ones for much less

thanks. they are a kind of bronzey gold. i have just tried them and they look ok i think but i find it so hard to tell. why is black so bad, just out of interest?

Back is too harsh against a colour - they don't tone in a way that gold/metallic or another complementary colour will.

I think it's a bit too officey. Plus, a wedding is an opportunity to wear brighter colours and mess about a bit.

bLack not back...

The coloured ones look better, but you might get more wear out of the black ones as they will go with more outfits.
