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?

more pink

pink animal print !

quite like the middle one, tilly, do not like any of that kinda slouchy leathery style (the last) though as attended american weddings where they were de rigour for bridal party and became allergic.

next had a mid-heel pink i tried on, but so badly balanced that i nearly fell over. mid heel hard to do i think, sometimes you're better off with a cheaper higher heel.

This site has got loads of green sandals.

I'm still here..sorry was trying to get office to load but it's all so slow tonight. They had some pink shoes in store the other day. I'll try again.
The only thing with gold is cheaper shoes look...cheap. iykwim.

here are pink shoes

they're probably the wrong colour, I have no idea if they're nice or not? Someone will tell us, but they are called Geranium Joy, which I thought in their favour

midnightexpress · 16/06/2010 22:06

madame fifi foufou

very MadMen

But you won't get either of these before the weekend, I fear.

PrimroseCrabapple · 16/06/2010 22:06

not sure about pink dress, pink shoes tbh.

Turquoise? Orange?

Aitch · 16/06/2010 22:07

mis-spelled rigueur. rigour probably more accurate however.

you can't wear green to a wedding... its a big no no

wubblybubbly · 16/06/2010 22:08

Not sure about these right colour maybe?

midnightexpress · 16/06/2010 22:09

explain yourself ruckyrunt.

FlameOverThinks · 16/06/2010 22:09

Can't help, but I love green shoes so am just opening all links

ahundredtimes · 16/06/2010 22:10

I'm worried that to wear pink shoes, they'll have to be so much the right shade of pink that it's a gamble.

traceybath · 16/06/2010 22:10

I thought it was bad luck to wear green as a bride 'married in green - ashamed to be seen' but never heard you can't wear it as a guest.

PrimroseCrabapple · 16/06/2010 22:10

right.....

are we talking bare legs and sandals?

peep toes

courts or wot?

Ingles2 · 16/06/2010 22:13

theses are shocking pink and only £15
how much do you want to spend?

Aitch · 16/06/2010 22:13

right then, orange shoes... i am agreeing that pink is not right. orange could be.

btw wubbly that ia a GREAT site you linked to, v drooly shoes there. but unf too expensive for me i think, am not a shoe person enough to fork out three hunner i think.

Aitch · 16/06/2010 22:14
