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?

tethersend, you did it again!

Habbibu · 17/06/2010 19:41

Not in her size, tethers!

Habbibu · 17/06/2010 19:46

Too high?

Habbibu · 17/06/2010 19:50

Pink and gold

Habbibu · 17/06/2010 19:52

Too high again?

DuchessOfAvon · 17/06/2010 19:52

PLease don't reject them out of hand - they are super-comfy and will bear up to child-wrangling, driving et al....

ANd they aren't nude....exactly.......

Montifer · 17/06/2010 19:53

If the silver ones you have are perfect, except for zip clashing issues, could you spray them gold?

DuchessOfAvon · 17/06/2010 19:54

Oh - just twigs that they are the same as the ones Terthers linked to.

(Bt I got them for a party and they are lovely.... promise....)

Jaquelinehyde · 17/06/2010 20:18

The gold caged platform sandal Habbibu linked to are lovely and would be perfect.

Go for them!

tethersend · 17/06/2010 20:19

Bollocks. They had a 5 earlier.

They may be in stock in store though?

She may not even like them...

Habbibu · 17/06/2010 20:25

Do you reckon she's on the plane right now, silver shoes in hand luggage?

Aitch · 17/06/2010 20:39

those would be perfect, tethers, will go and look in the store.

am i mad to be considering the pink and gold btw?

wubblybubbly · 17/06/2010 20:44

I think pink and gold would be rather lovely, if you can get the right pink.

Aitch · 17/06/2010 20:48

i think their colour is slightly more coral tbh but i may no longer care...

i am snorting at the 'our product is 100% synthetic' boast on the site.

wubblybubbly · 17/06/2010 21:09

Are these just too off message?

I kinda like them but sure if they're right for this outfit?

Aitch · 17/06/2010 21:11

hmmmmm i kinda like them too... i wonder. thing is, if they're awful i can't exactly send them back.

OP posts:
Habbibu · 17/06/2010 21:14

Yes you can - why not?

Anyway, I'm feeling shameless - can I poach a maven or two for my own quandary?

midnightexpress · 17/06/2010 21:14

Oh god no. Still here? 300 bloody posts and still no shoes. Get a grip woman.

Tillyscoutsmum · 17/06/2010 21:17

I've ordered from that ebay seller before. They do returns (within 30 days)

Aitch · 17/06/2010 21:18

feel free to press hide, midnight.

anyway, loooooky more views. i do like them. does anyone else, apart from me and wub? i say this as a confirmed loather of irreg choice.

OP posts:
wubblybubbly · 17/06/2010 21:19

They do take refunds but not on the postage.

Besides, I'm not sure if introducing purple is gonna clash with the specs.

brimfull · 17/06/2010 21:19

I like them

get them

Aitch · 17/06/2010 21:22

i just linked to another site, though, wonder if they're actually on sale thro' IC anyway?
i like pink and purple together, and purple and pink are suffragette colours... push comes to shove i can unwillingly pull out old pair of purple specs as well... i'm going to order them because i wuv them.

now, from where?

OP posts:
wubblybubbly · 17/06/2010 21:25

Well you can always add a purple bangle to the other lot.

Go for it. Whoever delivers most quickly/most cheaply.

Tillyscoutsmum · 17/06/2010 21:26

I like them... Its the same retailer (Branch 309), so it makes no odds whether its direct from their site or via ebay....

If purple is a possibility, can we bring some purple shoes to the table. I love bright pink and purple together
