Need shoe advice

[brucelegs]

I have this dress from Nordies and am wondering if a strappy black dress sandal might work?

edited - let's try this link

 

it is celadon lace and really comes just below the knee on me

 

I have these cool shoes that I do not think are going to work too weel, aso I guess it is off to find something in bone/ivory - I hate shopping for shoes since I have a good foundation - ie a size 12

I couldn't get the dress to come up, but IMO, rarely will a black strappy sandal not work. Is there black in the dress?

The link does not bring the dress up but I found what I beleive is the dress and it is a gorgeous silver dress. Of course strappy black dress sandal will work 0 you thinking heels or flats. A nice silver heel would work well too

The link worked for me and I definitely think you need a nude shoe. That dress color is in that mid-range to me? A dark shoe would be way to dark and would attract all the attention to your feet instead of to you and your face. You need a nude shoe that will blend. If you can find a skin tone metallic, that would work too...IMO...anything that will blend with your particular skin tone. Very pretty dress btw...

What a gorgeous dress! Although I think you could get away with black, I definitely agree with Anita Latte - a more neutral toned or even slightly metallic or sheen would look even better.

 

Love the dress!

Even a silver shoe like the model has on would look great!

The dress link worked but the shoe one did not. I think the dress would look nice with a bronze color shoe. Bronze jewelry is popular right now so maybe you could get a necklace or bracelet. Maybe a bronze evening bag?

A black shoe will be too dark and heavy...even if it's strappy! Yes...a nude shoe color will be MUCH better. A beige or snakeskin or metallic is considered "NEUTRAL"

What is your skin tone?

If you are dark then get a dark shoe. If you are light, like the model, get a light color shoe.

I agree that skin tone matters here. But with the cool color of that dress, I would stay in the silver/pewter range if you are going for metallic...gold/bronze is too warm IMO. I like the second shoebuy shoe in ivory too.

Pageant tip is to wear sandals in a shade closest to your skin tone to make your legs look longer (also no strap across the front of your ankle).

Beautiful dress! I agree that black would be too dark.

Love the Annie Lola. It looks less painful than all the others -- and cute too!

[luvscruising2007]

I like the first 2 shoes. I think they would both go with that wonderful dress and are a little more formal than a couple of the others.

You will look stunning.

[GORDONCHICK]

Now I can see the dress, and black shoes of any kind would too dark for this dress. Either nude or silver (maybe pewter if it's not a pinkish pewter).

[Yoshikitty]

Beautiful dress! Black is a no go.

 

I would get this shoes because it looks comfortable and I think you can wear it with all the lighter color dresses.

I have a celadon dress and I tend to wear silver with it. I like my black strappy sandals with brighter colors and jewel tones, but i find that black is a little too much contrast with pastels.
