Gingee Posted March 17, 2010 #1 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I took a cell phone picture of my dress just now. I don't know if it will come up accurately or not. It is dark blue, v neck, sparkles in spots (blue sparkles), full skirt. So any more ideas on shoes (not expensive ones - I'm cheap - LOL). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingee Posted March 17, 2010 Author #2 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Okay, that was not too good of picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andee Posted March 17, 2010 #3 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I'd like the look of pewter shoes with that dress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srlafleur Posted March 17, 2010 #4 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I have strappy heels with rhinestones covering the straps that would look great with that dress. The "body" of the shoe (heels only really), is champagne silk, but that barely shows because of the sparkle. I can wear them with every formal dress I own.

cb at sea Posted March 17, 2010 #5 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Almost anything will go with the dress...silver looks great with blue! Any metallic is neutral, and you can wear gold jewelry with silver shoes (or vice versa), if you like....they are all neutrals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belease Posted March 17, 2010 #6 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I reckon silver shoes with diamantes would be cool and could go with any other outfit, but gold ones would look amazing too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt Jerome Wild Posted March 18, 2010 #8 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Gingee... In my professional opinion, The question is not "What shoes go with this dress"? But far more importantly "What shoes go with YOU"? People are going to give their personal opinions based on what subconsciously looks good on them, or subconsciously what they like... I don't think that there can be a proper answer for you personally, until we know: What Color and Tone are your Skin, Hair, and Eyes? Once anyone knows that, then they can give a much better opinion on what is going to look best on YOU personally, in THAT specific dress. Get it?;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy ks Posted March 18, 2010 #9 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Curt is correct. I've even purchased shoes I thought worked well, only to change my mind later. I see no reason why you couldn't take the dress shopping with you, to see what you like best with the dress. It's too bad you want to stay cheap. The best shoes I've ever purchased for formal nights are a pair of Stuart Weitzmans, they set me back around $200 (long ago). That was about 5 years ago and they have gone with me on every single cruise since then. I have worn them at least 15 times with cocktail dresses and I think they have been a better value than 15 pair of $20-40 shoes. I'll keep wearing them for several more years, since they are classic (probably the heel is out of date, but that's OK with me, they are comfortable). I always get compliments on them. They look a little like these, only in a muted gold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dona March Posted March 18, 2010 #10 Share Posted March 18, 2010 DSW...I was just there they have all kinds of dressy, strappy, rinestone, what ever you are looking for at discounted prices if you go to the back of the store you might luck out and find a pair up tp 70% off. Hope you have one near you and good luck.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingee Posted March 18, 2010 Author #11 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Okay a little description of me. I am 5 - 1 1/2, average weight (okay the tummy is not like it was ten years ago), blonde, blue eyed and medium skin - not super pale. Hope to have a little color before we go.

mousey Posted March 19, 2010 #14 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Places like TJ Maxx, Ross 4 Less, and Marshalls usually have great prices for designer shoes. Payless also has some very nice evening shoes for practically nothing. And, if you should be so inclined, they actually have a nice selection of different heel heights and styles that can be dyed to match your dress, which is gaining some popularity again. What do you think Curt about the dyed to match thing?:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gingee Posted March 20, 2010 Author #16 Share Posted March 20, 2010 I am surprised to hear about the dyed shoes? I thought said bridesmaid also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gingee Posted March 23, 2010 Author #18 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Died shoes die? That's funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy ks Posted March 23, 2010 #19 Share Posted March 23, 2010 The problem with dyed shoes is that if they get wet, the color runs and renders them unwearable. Plus they look like bridesmaid shoes. Do bridesmaids still wear dyed shoes? I haven't seen them in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeforadaiquiri Posted March 23, 2010 #20 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Gosh that's a very pretty dress. Do you have some sort of shawl too? Some of the restaurants and clubs can be a bit cool in the evening. And I like the idea of silver sparkly heels too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UandMe4Ever Posted March 23, 2010 #22 Share Posted March 23, 2010 The dress is lovely! Personally, I would work with silver either muted or shiny shoes/bag and accessories. You will look fantastic. Have a wonderful cruise :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
