I don't know if I could wear them. I've had sandalfoot stockings in the past. I'm really hoping the grey boots work out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-for-an-ef-dress#post-1736287 Wed, 05 Oct 2016 17:21:01 +0000 tulle 1736287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to wear those hose (just remembered that they are called "sandalfoot") by Hanes, back when I still wore hose, and they were fine.&nbsp; The toes are sheer, not actually naked. But I know that shivery feeling, and I wear boots for dressy cold-weather occasions a lot up here in the mountains. I just try to wear a boot with some kind of dressy element--a pointier toe, a slightly higher heel, a metallic or elegant suede finish, a close fit.&nbsp; Keep us posted about how your boots work out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-for-an-ef-dress#post-1736276 Wed, 05 Oct 2016 16:57:11 +0000 JAileen 1736276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ecteacher, thanks! I definitely want warm feet. I've never seen boot bling before.</p> <p>Tulle, thanks! The boots are scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. So we'll see. I'm not sure about the toe-less hosiery. It seems too cold to me. Is there anyone here who has actully worn them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-for-an-ef-dress#post-1736275 Wed, 05 Oct 2016 16:44:01 +0000 tulle 1736275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good advice here, and I second:&nbsp; the gray boots only if the gray tones are similar; silver shoes (peep toes with nude-foot hose would work) to add a dressy touch to the minimalist dress;&nbsp; some extra sparkle via jewelry, bag, etc. Have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-for-an-ef-dress#post-1736271 Wed, 05 Oct 2016 16:10:43 +0000 VioletMyra 1736271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are some images of boot jewellery if you wanted warm feet with added bling.<br /><a href="http://tinyurl.com/hltddhd" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/hltddhd</a> <br />Best wishes for a fabulous time.<br />Denise </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-for-an-ef-dress#post-1735784 Tue, 04 Oct 2016 14:32:31 +0000 JAileen 1735784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Firecracker, thanks! I was thinking the same thing - if the grey boots don't work I can wear the Born boots.</p> <p>CocoCat, thanks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-for-an-ef-dress#post-1735630 Tue, 04 Oct 2016 05:55:19 +0000 Cococat 1735630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also agree with Angie on the boot options...or the gorgeous plum OTKs..yum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-for-an-ef-dress#post-1735497 Tue, 04 Oct 2016 00:08:27 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1735497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress looks fantastic on you! I like Angie's picks. Those gray suede boots look so chic--I hope they work out for you. And your black ones are a good fall-back option. You can always add a little sparkle with jewelry, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-for-an-ef-dress#post-1735488 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 23:38:35 +0000 JAileen 1735488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Xtabay, those are beautiful boots!</p> <p>El Cee, I've never heard of toeless stockings. They don't sound warm enough to me. Have you tried them?</p> <p>Joy, I didn't know you had this handkerchief hem dress. I remember when you got an EF dress that when I tried it, everyone told me to return it (it looked better on you than on me!)</p> <p>Elle, I'm glad you and Traci mentioned the hem issue. It would never have occurred to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-for-an-ef-dress#post-1735456 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 21:57:13 +0000 Elle 1735456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of gray boots too - but definitely test any boots before you wear them with an uneven hem dress. &nbsp;I've had trouble with hankerchief hems catching on the tops of my boots. &nbsp;Of the dressy shoes, I love #3 the best </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-for-an-ef-dress#post-1735454 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 21:55:33 +0000 Anonymous 1735454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JAileen, we might be EF dress twins. The dressier boots and any of shoes 1-3 plus the peep-toes seem like they would work. You could add some sparkle with jewelry and/or a clutch if you wanted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-for-an-ef-dress#post-1735389 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 19:29:19 +0000 El Cee 1735389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG Xtabay -- those boots are gorgeous!</p> <p>JAileen -- Do you have "toeless" pantyhose/stockings? They would work great with your lovely silver peep-toe shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-for-an-ef-dress#post-1735385 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 19:15:44 +0000 Anonymous 1735385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these would look pretty great with your beautiful EF dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-for-an-ef-dress#post-1735383 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 18:57:52 +0000 JAileen 1735383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have silver peep toe shoes. I couldn't wear stockings with them, could I? I don't want bare legs. Brrr </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-for-an-ef-dress#post-1735380 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 18:53:59 +0000 Suz 1735380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now, why did you have to show me those Via Spiga boots? &nbsp;;)&nbsp;</p> <p>Gorgeous, but I worry about duelling greys. This is the bane of my existence, though maybe less so now with grey hair? I am hoping it will make things blend/ cohere more...</p> <p>I like the idea of SILVER shoes for this if people will be in sparkles. &nbsp;:)&nbsp;</p> <p>I can stand in my Okalas well so can't advise on that -- it depends on your feet, I guess, and the surface.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-for-an-ef-dress#post-1735378 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 18:51:15 +0000 JAileen 1735378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a banquet setting, so some standing at the beginning, and then sitting. Oh, and walking to and fro from a parking garage probably. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-for-an-ef-dress#post-1735375 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 18:47:39 +0000 El Cee 1735375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is this a standing or a sitting event? That always makes a big difference for me as to my footwear choice. I adore your Okalas and think they would be lovely paired with your EF dress -- but I know I personally would have issues if I had to stand for a few hours in that style (narrow heels and a semi-open foot).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-for-an-ef-dress#post-1735358 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 18:24:00 +0000 JAileen 1735358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sterling, Traci, Elizabeth, El Cee, Angie. I've gone ahead and ordered the grey boots. If they are the wrong color I can return them. Traci, great advice about the hardware! </p> <p>I've seen a huge range of dressiness at this event. Not everyone wears sparkly things, but some do. Many wear nice suits and dresses. I was thinking of boots for warmth. At the very least I want to wear stockings, if not boots, so definitely no sandals.</p> <p>Here are dressy shoe options: SE Okala, Liz Claiborne, Alex Marie. The fourth picture is Camper. They are probably too casual, but I really love them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-for-an-ef-dress#post-1735352 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 18:12:55 +0000 Angie 1735352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote #3 or #4.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-for-an-ef-dress#post-1735345 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 18:06:00 +0000 El Cee 1735345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Grey suede boots would be fabulous. The other two pairs seem a bit too casual for the event. What are your dressy shoe options?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-for-an-ef-dress#post-1735344 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 18:02:55 +0000 Elizabeth P 1735344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the grey boots, as long as the greys match/blend.&nbsp; However, if people will be dressed up in "sparkles" I think I'd be more tempted to wear dressy shoes.&nbsp; Boots are pretty casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-for-an-ef-dress#post-1735340 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 17:40:09 +0000 Traci 1735340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I like the gray boots best too. If you go with the Fryes make sure to test drive the dress with the boots around the house. Sometimes hems like that get caught in my boot hardware. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-for-an-ef-dress#post-1735339 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 17:37:04 +0000 Anonymous 1735339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the grey boots.&nbsp; Wow.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-for-an-ef-dress#post-1735333 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 17:22:36 +0000 JAileen 1735333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have an event coming up and I'd like to wear this light grey EF dress. What people wear at this event varies, from sparkly dresses to nice workwear. Anyway, I've only worn the dress with sandals. Do you think boots would work with it? I have a couple pairs of black boots, Frye and Born. I'm also considering these Via Spiga grey suede boots. What do you think of these various options? Do you think dressy shoes would be better? </p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/via-spiga-odella-tall-boot-women/4444357?origin=category-personalizedsort&#038;fashionsize=10&#038;fashioncolor=ANTHRACITE%20SUEDE" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vi.....TE%20SUEDE</a> </p>
