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 B) 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:

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

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]

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

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

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

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?

i just bought this marc jacobs dress and i'm looking for some shoes to wear with it...

i'd love something bright but not too trendy...definitely heels though...
thanks everyone!

 

[luckyme]

kimair, Beautiful dress. did you buy it for a party?

these two will do completely different things for that dress but both have their place.

AZZEDINE ALAIA and LANVIN

What to to wear with these shoes?

Hi Everyone,

I just got those shoes and I dont know what to wear with it. Please post pics of outfits that I can wear with these, please. HELP!

 

[luckyme]

I'm a little stuck with those anapaula, but a short skirt seems in order.

 

[Guessgirl96]

maybe check out the balenciaga runway since they had kind of a similar style of shoe last fall. I believe they paired them with bright tights and a flouty kind of knee length dress.

Short denim skirt?

 

[lauriza]

I would wear those with dresses, with or without opaque tights. I've seen it done beautifully with silk dresses, or crispy white summerdresses. Also Kate Lanphear wears her Balenciagas very well.

 

[PinkPrincess113]

I would wear those with short wispy skirts, with a shirt tucked in.
Opaque tights would work nicely with them too.
Did you get them in white? That's a little harder than black for me

Sorry for the weird shot, I felt like balancing on a yoga ball while taking this shot haha. What would you guys pair these with?!
