these are nice

FlorenceandtheWashingMachine · 13/06/2010 12:53

I agree that wedges are the way forward. Sorry if any of these have been done before (in midst of making Sunday lunch, so no time to check out all the links), but these are in stock in a size 4 and it might be worth having a ferret around Yoox as they have some nice stuff:

red and white striped wedges from Yoox

hobbgoblin · 13/06/2010 17:06

Can I just throw a spanner in the works and say that I always felt that natural materials for the wedge was a no-no for evening/smart wear.

By natural materials I mean cork and hessian type stuff...

But in this glorious weather , the wedding party will be outside in the grounds, Hobgoblin, so it's more like a garden party.

(Florence refuses to admit that she didn't register the evening aspect of the wedding invitation.)

tethersend · 13/06/2010 18:26

I agree with you hobbgoblin- not formal enough IMO.

Besides, I don't think Yoox would deliver in 5 days time, Florence...

I think blushingm may have snuck out the back door to buy herself some flats

FlorenceandtheWashingMachine · 13/06/2010 18:30

By way of an apology, I bring you an M&S Autograph offering. They should be very leg lengthening in neutral and echo the crossover on your dress.

blushingm · 13/06/2010 18:48

no no i haven't snuck out honest!!!!

i was going to order the ones from Very but it said delivery in 3 weeks - my own fault for leaving it so late

what do you thin of these ones, or these,these or are these too low?

blushingm · 13/06/2010 19:23

florence - thanks those are nice but a bit too high for me

OP posts:
blushingm · 13/06/2010 19:27

I have to agree with hobbgoblin and say that cork or hessian heel style wedges for a wedding (even a garden party one) would be a no-no. A wedge is fine if you can't cope with a heel but be careful about the type of wedge.

FlorenceandtheWashingMachine · 13/06/2010 19:50

I like number one - the others are a bit too low to go with that dress in the evening I think.

What about these lovely Hobbs courts on sale from John Lewis? I have a pair of shoes with this heel and they are really very comfortable.

hobbgoblin · 13/06/2010 19:50

These? www.yoox.com/item.asp?tskay=B84CE7A2&cod10=44202175&utm_source=affiliatewindow&utm_medium=affiliazio ne&utmcampaign=affiliazioneuk&TP=15199

hobbgoblin · 13/06/2010 19:56

and if these were purple enough you could do these with other purple accessories www.yoox.com/item.asp?tskay=B84CE7A2&cod10=44212489&utm_source=affiliatewindow&utm_medium=affiliazio ne&utmcampaign=affiliazioneuk&TP=15199

ticktockclock · 13/06/2010 19:56

Oohhh those Georgio G ones would be great if the colour matches

hobbgoblin · 13/06/2010 20:00

I like the snake print ones. Was just looking at animal prints but decided leopard was wrong. But snake? yes yes yes!

ticktockclock · 13/06/2010 20:04

these would accesorize nicely

these

or these

blushingm · 13/06/2010 20:12

ticktockclock - i like those last ones but not in my size

and the red snake skin ones too - would the red need to match exactly or would close enough be ok?

OP posts:
blushingm · 13/06/2010 20:16

oh those giorgio g ones are lovely

OP posts:
ticktockclock · 13/06/2010 21:19

I think that with the snake skin and red ones, a close enough match would be ok because they are not all red.

blushingm · 13/06/2010 21:26

gaaahh they don't have my size in the snake skin ones................it's not fair

OP posts:
ticktockclock · 13/06/2010 21:41

I must say you have teeny feet! Too bad they don't have your size.

ticktockclock · 13/06/2010 22:44
