I thought they felt more like office shoes, but I wasn't sure if the little flower ornament could potentially kick it up. I'm taking one more stab at shoes tomorrow, but I'll focus on silver instead as I may have better luck there. And I foolishly hadn't even considered the coat-matching question, so thanks for the reminder. :)<br /> What on earth did I do before Ylf? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-shoes-with-maggy-london-dress#post-111913 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 03:14:35 +0000 Angie 111913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here’s what I think:</p> <p>o I am mesmerized with your description of the Steve Madden pumps as “ridiculously comfortable” . Nice price! I do agree with Maya that they are a little more office-looking than party looking. But I’m also with Marianna in that they will look fab with the dress in burgundy. I like that they are burgundy and not red so that they don’t match your new coat, which was to Shiny’s point. I like burgundy matched with red! </p> <p>o Sliver or pewter round -toed pumps, sandals or peep toes with a chunky heel will look sublime. </p> <p>I guess I haven’t helped at all :0( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-shoes-with-maggy-london-dress#post-111908 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 02:23:16 +0000 Maya 111908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe I'm the odd one out but I don't find them all that special. They are cute, but they're more like office pumps than dress pumps for me. Any possibility of buying online? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-shoes-with-maggy-london-dress#post-111884 Sat, 19 Dec 2009 23:27:38 +0000 marianna 111884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well it's definitely not a bright red, it's quite subdued, buy I think that's fine! It's a good shade of matte red. And if they're comfortable, who cares if they're not bright red?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-shoes-with-maggy-london-dress#post-111881 Sat, 19 Dec 2009 23:25:29 +0000 Michelle 111881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ridiculously comfortable... I'm kinda surprised you think the colour will work though! I thought maybe it would be too dark or washed out? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-shoes-with-maggy-london-dress#post-111878 Sat, 19 Dec 2009 23:19:41 +0000 marianna 111878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, those are lovely! Very nice choice. I love the flower detail. I think they'll look perfect with your dress! Are they comfortable? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-shoes-with-maggy-london-dress#post-111872 Sat, 19 Dec 2009 23:06:19 +0000 Michelle 111872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, that was officially the most frustrating afternoon of my life. The city of Toronto is practically barren of red dress shoes that aren't sky-scrapers or stilettos. This is literally the only pair I could find that was flattering on my stupid wide feet, and I'm not convinced they're right: </p> <p><a href="http://www.theshoecompany.com/shop-by-brand/maddengirl/madden-girl/prod13XXX662XXXX.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.theshoecompany.com/.....2XXXX.html</a></p> <p>Is the red too compromised? I understand it's more of a burgundy? And does it look too much like an office pump? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-shoes-with-maggy-london-dress#post-111829 Sat, 19 Dec 2009 16:39:17 +0000 shiny 111829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, red is definitely your color, but since you have a red coat, I worry it'll be too matchy matchy? I'd go with metallic instead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-shoes-with-maggy-london-dress#post-111811 Sat, 19 Dec 2009 15:07:44 +0000 Queen Mum 111811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle,<br /> another vote for red pumps- either peep toe or a sling back shoud be great!<br /> If you're wanting to go the silver route, I'd go for a darker pewter rather than the ligher shinier silver. It seems a bit more versatile as well as more sophisticated to me for some reason.<br /> And, for the record, I can't walk iin stilettos either! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-shoes-with-maggy-london-dress#post-111809 Sat, 19 Dec 2009 14:53:52 +0000 Claudia 111809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also think that you can't go wrong with a round toe pump with a chunky heel. A colored suede would be really lovely I think.</p> <p>But I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the silver shoes in the last link that RoseandJoan posted.These are dressy and look like they'd be comfortable as well as quite smashing with your dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-shoes-with-maggy-london-dress#post-111772 Sat, 19 Dec 2009 11:33:16 +0000 Inge 111772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I totally agree: round-toe pumps with a chunky heel, a retro vibe would be perfect with your old movie star elegance Michelle.</p> <p>I was thinking either red or purple.</p> <p>Here are a few examples:</p> <p>Red<br /> <a href="http://tinyurl.com/ygauywo" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/ygauywo</a></p> <p><a href="http://tinyurl.com/yheclpo" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/yheclpo</a><br /> (the description doesn't mention this, but they are not plain red, they have some sort of self-patterned marbled effect going on, it's quite subtle, but it adds a nice textural interest)</p> <p>Purple<br /> <a href="http://www.zappos.com/bandolino-davanna-medium-purple-multi" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/bandolin.....rple-multi</a><br /> Suede might also add textural interest to your outfit, plus these have a wedge heel but still look festive.</p> <p>These are very simple yet elegant open-toed pumps. The heel is higher though... I like them both in the purple suede and the purple patent.</p> <p><a href="http://tinyurl.com/yafdjpv" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/yafdjpv</a></p> <p><a href="http://tinyurl.com/yb6nww9" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/yb6nww9</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-shoes-with-maggy-london-dress#post-111766 Sat, 19 Dec 2009 08:30:41 +0000 RoseandJoan 111766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in love with these small heeled shoes from zappos</p> <p>They are silver, they have a peep toe, a wide strap crossing the foot, an elegant t bar strap leading to an elegant ankle strap. The heel is closed and the actual heel looks like a stable two inches. These shoes are very retro Hollywood</p> <p><a href="http://canada.zappos.com/n/p/dp/64566647/c/3298.html" rel="nofollow">http://canada.zappos.com/n/p/d...../3298.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-shoes-with-maggy-london-dress#post-111765 Sat, 19 Dec 2009 08:02:00 +0000 RoseandJoan 111765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a look at Canada's Zappos and they have some beautiful embellished evening ballet slippers.</p> <p>The first is red satin with a corsage in the same colour adorning the toe<br /> <a href="http://canada.zappos.com/n/p/dp/59623467/c/5360.html" rel="nofollow">http://canada.zappos.com/n/p/d...../5360.html</a></p> <p>The second is black suede with a peep toe and a black ruffle over the toe<br /> <a href="http://canada.zappos.com/n/p/dp/61545211/c/106.html" rel="nofollow">http://canada.zappos.com/n/p/d.....c/106.html</a></p> <p>Would you feel happier wearing a small heel? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-shoes-with-maggy-london-dress#post-111757 Sat, 19 Dec 2009 05:42:51 +0000 Anonymous 111757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of classic red pumps ,but can see peep toes or sling backs looking fab too. I like Maya's idea with chunky heel and round toe too as something cute and comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-shoes-with-maggy-london-dress#post-111744 Sat, 19 Dec 2009 02:59:18 +0000 chewyspaghetti 111744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to say red peep toes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-shoes-with-maggy-london-dress#post-111740 Sat, 19 Dec 2009 02:37:08 +0000 Maya 111740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm always a fan of a retro round toe pump with a chunky heel. Maybe peep toes if you can stand them.</p> <p>And I LOVE red shoes. I'm pushing for red too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-shoes-with-maggy-london-dress#post-111733 Sat, 19 Dec 2009 02:29:40 +0000 Michelle 111733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I'm trying to round up the components with which to style the Maggy London black dress, and step one is to find dressy shoes to amp it up for parties. There seems to have been a push for me to get a red pair... Is that still the best option? Or should I go for silver? And what style would you suggest with this one? I'll be slightly limited by the type of heel on the shoe, since I'm incapable of walking on stoletos )as Reva can attest), but I'd be incredibly grateful for any suggestions you may have as to which style would look best (peep-toe, classic pump etc). </p> <p>Here's the unadorned dress again:<br /> <a href="http://i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae339/mariannacecile/MaggyLondondress.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i985.photobucket.com/al.....ndress.jpg</a> </p>
