Very tricky in wardrobe and decor.&nbsp;</p> <p>The gold idea is a great one! I hope you get to keep the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-heartbroken-to-return-this-dress#post-2357443 Tue, 09 Apr 2024 13:24:49 +0000 unfrumped 2357443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hoping things work out!</p> <p>I’m empathizing because, foot issues. So increasingly I am getting clothes to go with existing shoes. I’ve never been the type who could just go out &amp; easily buy shoes to match a dress or anything, but now it’s just impossible. </p> <p>Last fall I found a pair of ankle-strap flats that were comfortable, &amp; duplicated in a different but maybe too similar to be worn enough — being anxious about finding others later. They’re neutral but not exactly toned for some planned outfits , so ok but turned out not to “ go” as well as I thought— that undertone thing! </p> <p>I had kinda sworn off any new midi skirts for the coming year, since I feel I have enough to make multiple outfits. </p> <p>BUT then I saw a floral print one online, reasonable sale price, that looked like it combined the exact neutrals of both pairs of shoes, &amp; works with coordinated solid tops I have— so I got it and it works perfectly —can’t wait for warmer weather. </p> <p>Anyway, hoping you don’t have to return your dress, but I can relate to shopping very intentionally now for dress, skirts, pants or whatever that REALLY feel right with the available footwear, whether it’s flats, sneakers or boots—the colors , vamp, the proportions— instead of wearing shoes that “ sort of” work but look kind of off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-heartbroken-to-return-this-dress#post-2357442 Tue, 09 Apr 2024 13:22:13 +0000 Anonymous 2357442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was also going to suggest metallic gold for shoes. I hope it works. The dress is lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-heartbroken-to-return-this-dress#post-2357440 Tue, 09 Apr 2024 12:44:14 +0000 lyn67 2357440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So are you sure the one on the right and the one on the left really don't work colorwise???? From my monitor these really should go well...ah maybe you don't like the style of these matching&nbsp; the dress...oh well. And hope the&nbsp; metallic gold will solve the problem eventually!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-heartbroken-to-return-this-dress#post-2357436 Tue, 09 Apr 2024 12:28:37 +0000 Sisi 2357436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to suggest bronze sandals. Those slingbacks are really pretty, I hope they work! It is a pity to give up such a perfect dress. I say this because I have <b></b>huge&nbsp;difficulties in finding the right dress for me.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-heartbroken-to-return-this-dress#post-2357435 Tue, 09 Apr 2024 12:21:53 +0000 RobinF 2357435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I liked all the shoes you showed with it but pictures don't always show a true color. Love the idea of gold though! Hope they work! It would be a shame to return the dress, sounds perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-heartbroken-to-return-this-dress#post-2357410 Tue, 09 Apr 2024 07:41:28 +0000 Style Fan 2357410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope the gold works.

Fingers crossed, it would be too bad to pass on a dress that otherwise ticks all the boxes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-heartbroken-to-return-this-dress#post-2357396 Tue, 09 Apr 2024 02:10:32 +0000 Roberta 2357396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I sincerely hope those gold shoes work out! In my opinion, taupe looks really good with silver too, if you have a pair of silver shoes tucked away somewhere. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-heartbroken-to-return-this-dress#post-2357388 Tue, 09 Apr 2024 01:11:56 +0000 Jaime 2357388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to suggest a totally other color like red or blue but I think gold is a better idea - hope you like it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-heartbroken-to-return-this-dress#post-2357385 Tue, 09 Apr 2024 01:04:19 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2357385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is exactly the moment for a metallic shoe.

I do have a beautiful pair of Paul Green sling backs I forgot about. </p> <p>This is very possible! I will try tomorrow in the daylight. </p> <p>Thanks you!!! This was almost in the bag and labeled! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-heartbroken-to-return-this-dress#post-2357372 Tue, 09 Apr 2024 00:14:06 +0000 Tina 2357372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely dress! Did you consider gold shoes? That's what I'd try because I wear gold jewelry. Maybe also a gold evening bag/clutch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-heartbroken-to-return-this-dress#post-2357371 Tue, 09 Apr 2024 00:13:27 +0000 Carla 2357371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Could you wear gold footwear and accessories? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-heartbroken-to-return-this-dress#post-2357370 Tue, 09 Apr 2024 00:10:47 +0000 Laurie 2357370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ever return something really reluctantly? I actually really like this dress and bought it for some upcoming summer wedding events. It's totally my style,&nbsp; and it fits me pretty well&nbsp; - would do with a slight adjustment to perfectly fit, but absolutely wearable as is. The petite is perfect length at ankle. The fabric is heavy and falls nicely. I love everything about it except the color. Well, I like the color. It is an olivey taupe and dark brown, not black. And, so, matching shoes is almost impossible.<br /> I've dithered with this for a week. I put all of my shoes near it. Boy do taupes reveal their true undertones&nbsp; - grey, purple, blue, yellow - when beside the another taupe! Black is stark next to the deep brown. But the brown is also really hard to match - most browns are too chocolately, or reddish or yellowish. It needs a brownish black.&nbsp; Blackish brown.<br /> Spent some time looking for shoes. I even looked at the dozen nude shades in a brand I can't remember to see if one would work.&nbsp;</p> <p>It's hard to tell in the photo - some of the shoes look like they work.<br />And sure, I could wear this with black or the wrong nude or taupe. But it would bug me the minute I got outside in natural light.&nbsp;<br /> So, the dress is going back.<br /> In conclusion, especially when you have a wide foot, it's easier to find dresses than shoes! </p>
