Pairing Shoes with Clothes Help Thread - Page 22

PinkPrincess113 · 16-03-2008

I was going to say something black and strappy with the red dress. How tall are you? The taller the better, I agree.......

cutxpaste · 16-03-2008

^I'm 5'9''

cutxpaste · 16-03-2008

My mom was thinking espradrilles... opinions?

cutxpaste · 16-03-2008

what about these chloes?

yoox

eh, i don't know, they could be terrible, i'm so bad at pairing shoes with clothes..

liashoes · 16-03-2008

No to espadrilles. I like those chloe's a lot! They would look great with the dress. Are you going to be dancing or just hanging at the dance? That may make a difference in the heel height, width you choose.

cutxpaste · 16-03-2008

i'll be dancing... but i will probably take off my shoes to dance.
the shoes will be more for when i arrive, taking pictures, etc.

You need fierce shoes.

Burberry Prorsum

Chloé

It shouldn't be too hard to find something similar.

Your dress is very simple and gorgeus - that's your chance to wear fierce shoes, really. I know that you are 5"9, but I say the taller the better. I'm 6"2 in heels

That's like... 3" taller than BF

I am searching for shoes to go with my prom dress...
Here's the only picture I could find on the internet that looks closest to it:

Except: It's in black, and is spaghetti strapped. Here's a shot I took to get the detail of it:

edit: Sorry, ^that pic^ is huge! Just a warning.

Ideally, I want some t-straps, you know, something that matches the style. But not too costumey, something modern.
I am considering buying these:

Opinions? Suggestions?

I really do like the pair of shoes you have picked out. Red is an excellent choice.

sissyneck · 30-03-2008

I bought these (in brown):

minnetonkamoccasinshop.com

I don't know what to wear with them

. I'm thinking, when it gets warmer, to pair them a long flowy skirt? What do you think?

The_Ida · 30-03-2008

^Light blue jeans with the legs rolled up a bit and skirts, yes. Not just flowy skirts, any skirt will do

GannetGuts · 31-03-2008

uberchic, I really like the red you've picked out. Red and black are great together and the dress is lovely.

blackpeace · 04-04-2008

I know these are a bit tacky, but what can one wear it with?

luckyme · 04-04-2008

uberchic, the red shoe would be a great pop of color and a neutral shoe would give you lots of leg so it most likely depends on where the dress hits your knee. but if you can go for a narrow heel with a little platform for added comfort since you'll be on your feet so much.

sissyneck, I use to wear those mocs with cut off shorts in high school, and they also go great with long denim skirts.

blackpeace, lingerie?
