Oh lord if any of you can help i would be soooooo grateful.

i have green metallic glasses, right? looooovely ones, mikli/starck etc cost a freakin' fortune. and i am wearing a pink dress to a wedding (IN FRANCE, SODDING GOLD TRADERS APLENTY, THE POTENTIAL FOR SNOOTINESS ABOUNDS).

aaaanyway... it's only after coming home i realise that those glasses pop a little against the pink. fine, i like pop. so without running the risk of looking too matchy-matchy i thought maybe a green clutch and some green OR gold shoes. however, the woman in JL (yes, i know) said that i HAD to get green shoes as gold not appropriate (even with humungous gold zipper and potential for green and gold accessorising at wrist).

aaaand, oh i don't know. i'm just blethering. do you like my dress?

have any of you seen any nice green shoes lately? i've got good pins, can carry off a heeled glad-type thing. did try these on today and they are MASSIVELY comfortable but ever so slightly mumsy in the heel imo.

any advice?

such a good idea, actually... but for the fact that the shoes i want to wear are vetoed on grounds of cork wedginess. but yes, will think more on that, deffo. i am in fact rather cheered by that thought.

must go to bed, all, thanks soooo much for your help.

80mm is 5inch? Are you sure

Jaquelinehyde · 17/06/2010 01:05

It's about 3 1/2 inches by my calculations

Jaquelinehyde · 17/06/2010 01:33

too high and a bit old looking but nice almost 4 inches

love but far too high for you again I think just over 4 inches

Jaquelinehyde · 17/06/2010 01:34

I have failed, I give up my bed is calling me.

I'm sure you shall look stunning even if it is bare foot!

Tillyscoutsmum · 17/06/2010 09:17

Right - I have slept. I have renewed vigour. My dc's can entertain themselves. Let's find the shoes

gold sandals

very gold

cheap as chips

gold and sparkly

Aitch · 17/06/2010 10:03

some lovely ones there but seriously all too high. i'm so sorry to be such a buzzkill but i really can't go higher than three inches, i think. [weak of ankle]

Ingles2 · 17/06/2010 10:09

Ingles2 · 17/06/2010 10:11

gold wedge

Ingles2 · 17/06/2010 10:14

Found them Aitch!
here, gold, strappy, 3 inch heel
and in the sale!

Aitch · 17/06/2010 10:17

och, i know that a lot of you like those filigree, delicatey sandals but i really don't... poor ingles, you must have been so excited there for a minute.

Tillyscoutsmum · 17/06/2010 10:24

Wear black shoes..... seriously... everything goes with black. It will be good with the dress, won't clash with the fecking zip or your glasses and we stand a cat in hell's chance of finding some that aren't too high, too delicate, too spindly heeled, in the right size and available in the next few days

wubblybubbly · 17/06/2010 10:27

£45 but heel too spindly?

Gold cork platorms, 11cm heel £55

Would look lovely with your dress £85, but too spindly? Too jazzy?

And it's really peeing me off that the Faith website is down just when we need it!

Ingles2 · 17/06/2010 10:28

I was!

I don't like fine strappy either

wubblybubbly · 17/06/2010 10:34

And theres these with a nice sized cone heel, but they don't look very gold Just £35 though.

Aitch · 17/06/2010 10:36

they'd be great, wubbly, but what colour of gold is that supposed to be? looks brown. what a shame, though, they'd be perfect i think.

have we had these fellas?

brimfull · 17/06/2010 10:45

right
here you go
demure , mid heel

arf

brimfull · 17/06/2010 10:50

what size are you
I am becoming obsessed

Ingles2 · 17/06/2010 10:53

I think it's worth ordering those gold cage ones that wubbly linked. I think it's just the lighting that makes them look darker

brimfull · 17/06/2010 10:56

size 36 or 40??

brimfull · 17/06/2010 10:58

are you tall enough for kitten heel?

Ronaldinhio · 17/06/2010 10:58

green and gold?

brimfull · 17/06/2010 11:02
