Cod, MrsB, JacHyde, Cyb etc etc EMERGE0NCY on Planet Fashion! I need green high heels, but not too high, and must be the right shade of green. And, er, must be bought by Saturday...

[Aitch]

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?

nudey glad types?

good in green or nude?

oh areln't you all kind? thanks. have been arguing with plumber downstairs...

those gold carvelas, cork heel? are they allowed~?

and i will be DANCING, nobbo. i'm not going for my first weekend away without children EVAH and standing crippled in a corner.

What about white/cream and dyeing them gold?

Or what about dyeing your silver ones?

Is that how you spell dyeing???

i think we're all dying a little...

no i think if i was getting into that territory i'd be more likely to have the zip replaced, iykwim? which i may yet do tbh if i get cork clearance.

meant to put a after dying line. am really tremendously grateful, you do know that, don't you?

lol.

Depends on the cork I suppose.

Advantages are cost and comfort. Plus the fact that there's feck all out there that suits the purpose!

my silver ones are just like the carvela [http://www.johnlewis.com/84370/Style.aspx?sku=230864321 ones]] but without that peculiar 'oh look it's a high heel and i'm standing on a corkboard trompe l'oeil'

soz

I know we said no nude but I like these

too delicate ?

I think Faith have gone bust ...

they are nice, but i just don't get the nude thing. do you, really?

Honestly ? I've never really got the nude peep toe/shoey shoes (iyswim ?) but I do actually like those glad ones. I think the fact they are cage ones takes them way out of the realms of being Queen Mum

Well they're rather nice.

Your specs don't have any gold in them I'm guessing, so the colour scheme is pink, silver and green? Hmm, I do think the gold would be better.

Still, the silver is fairly neutral, so it's just about getting the accesories right maybe to bring it all together.

Something like this though would work brilliantly with the gold/pink/green combo.

I think you should wear these
good for dancing...

hah, ingles! i'm strictly adidas-loyal, i'm afraid.

good spot on the bangles, wub, will deffo get them as the two greens are the same as my spex and sunspex.

I'm back on the gold I'm afraid

okay so a fairly spindly heel but not too high and they're fun and dirt cheap. Try some on!

they are nice, wub. am going to have to get into town on sat and try these mothers on.

no, don't faint. i've got about fifteen shoes to try... i am genuinely worried about the heel height.

lol Aitch. Get yourself a pair of gold flatties in reserve.

Once all the gold traders are pissed, they'll never notice.

well yes there's a really nice pair of slouchy gold thong sandals in new look for twelve quid that i might be able to smuggle in my clutch.

i said clutch.

buy a little pair of those gel soles too, great for dancing, if my memory serves me well.

That's the spirit Cripple yourself for a few hours (with copious amounts of alcohol to numb the pain) and then slip your shoes off flats on for dancing later.

Can I just say that I went to my best friend's wedding on Saturday. It was the first time I'd been properly out since having DS. My ex husband was going to be there. I spent months weeks trying to find the right dress and accessories. I had pedicure, manicure, hair done, fake tan - the lot. 5 minutes before I left the house, I put the dress on and the zip broke I was absolutely gutted. I had to dig a crappy old dress out of the wardrobe, get DH to cut me out of the new dress because it was jammed (Karen fucking Millen chinese crap cost me £145 !) and wear all the accessories I had bought but which didn't really go. I then had to reapply my make up because I blubbed like a baby.

The best laid plans and all that... I had a fantastic time though. I got hammered a bit drunk and I was still prettier and slimmer than ex h's OW

tilly -omg I would've blubbed as well
glad you were slimmer than ow though

aitch
wear the cork ones they are lovely

Aitch, just get these
