These are all available in size 12. </p> <p><a href="http://zappos.com/j-renee-dayna-gold-glimmer-fabric" rel="nofollow">http://zappos.com/j-renee-dayn.....mer-fabric</a><br /> These are my favorites in the pewter color. </p> <p><a href="http://zappos.com/bella-vita-lattice-ii-pewter-metallic" rel="nofollow">http://zappos.com/bella-vita-l.....r-metallic</a></p> <p><a href="http://zappos.com/vigotti-metis-pewter-satin" rel="nofollow">http://zappos.com/vigotti-metis-pewter-satin</a></p> <p>what about a patterned number?<br /> <a href="http://zappos.com/nine-west-sharina-black-combo-fabric-2" rel="nofollow">http://zappos.com/nine-west-sh.....o-fabric-2</a></p> <p>Love these in the nude color<br /> <a href="http://zappos.com/bouquets-monroe-gold-satin" rel="nofollow">http://zappos.com/bouquets-monroe-gold-satin</a></p> <p>or this in red, add a red lip and you are done<br /> <a href="http://zappos.com/vigotti-metis-red-satin" rel="nofollow">http://zappos.com/vigotti-metis-red-satin</a></p> <p>These all said 2 1/2 inches but the incline on your size is going to be a lot less.</p> <p>ETA: I just looked at the dress again and I happen to agree with those, who suggested a dressier shoe. These are not frumpy, but I would go with something more dressy and special event like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/low-heel-special-occasion-shoes---are-these-matronly#post-957193 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 04:12:44 +0000 Diana 957193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they'll be great for the wedding with the dress.&nbsp; LIke others have said, the embellishment makes them dressy, plus you are tall so you can get away with a lower heel height anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/low-heel-special-occasion-shoes---are-these-matronly#post-956837 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 19:24:10 +0000 Inge 956837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is going to look stunning on you, Marianna, and the wedge shoes are lovely. I agree that the beading makes them dressier, and that handbag and other accessories can further dress things up.</p> <p>A few other options:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/j-renee-affair-pump/3223294?origin=category-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=GOLD&amp;resultback=430&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-browseresults-_-1_3_A">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/j-.....ontextualc</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.zappos.com/stuart-weitzman-poco-topo-summer-linen">http://www.zappos.com/stuart-w.....mmer-linen</a></p> <p>Also: I actually think Angie's Bella Vita Wow pumps in the Gold Cross Hatch colour&nbsp;would be perfect for this. The website says they have a 2 1/2 inch heel, but I remember Angie saying that they're lower.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.zappos.com/bella-vita-wow-pewter-kidskin">http://www.zappos.com/bella-vi.....er-kidskin</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/low-heel-special-occasion-shoes---are-these-matronly#post-956822 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 18:37:53 +0000 Marley 956822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the silhouette of that dress and I bet it is really flattering on you!&nbsp; I think the fact that it is jersey, means that you really need to make sure that the rest of your accessories (including shoes) are quite dressy.&nbsp; I think that these silver sandals are pretty, but because of the wedge, they seem too casual for the event.&nbsp; I can imagine that it is a real pain to find dressy low-heeled shoes in your size, so if you can't find any, I think these would do - and I wouldn't worry about it!&nbsp; Just make sure that your handbag and jewelry take&nbsp;your outift&nbsp;into the dressy&nbsp;category, &nbsp;OK?&nbsp; And, have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/low-heel-special-occasion-shoes---are-these-matronly#post-956820 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 18:36:20 +0000 CocoLion 956820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shoes look fine to me. &nbsp;The beading makes them fancy, and although the wedge is a bit more casual, I think you need to consider comfort for a wedding. &nbsp;They are usually long with a fair amount of standing around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/low-heel-special-occasion-shoes---are-these-matronly#post-956816 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 18:29:30 +0000 Anonymous 956816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look fine! The silver is dressy and at 26, you probably couldn't look matronly if you tried.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/low-heel-special-occasion-shoes---are-these-matronly#post-956806 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 18:10:07 +0000 Kristin L 956806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I'd have to see the rest of the outfit as well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/low-heel-special-occasion-shoes---are-these-matronly#post-956805 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 18:04:44 +0000 Liz A. 956805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't realize this would be such a tall order. What about this?</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/christin-michaels-zofia-black-patent" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/christin.....ack-patent</a></p> <p>I suppose it might read more day, but I like the look as a whole. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/low-heel-special-occasion-shoes---are-these-matronly#post-956796 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 17:43:45 +0000 rachylou 956796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How funny. I think the sandals are great for a wedding and hesitate a bit on the dress, because it strikes me as a bit casual. It would all depend on the accessories to me - I think you need some silver jewelry up top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/low-heel-special-occasion-shoes---are-these-matronly#post-956793 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 17:33:45 +0000 Liz A. 956793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I'm honest, those sandals are not fab enough for such a killer classic lbd. I am on my iPad but I will try to have a look around for you. I'm thinking more of a dull silver, less sci fi. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/low-heel-special-occasion-shoes---are-these-matronly#post-956724 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 16:02:07 +0000 marianna 956724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting thoughts about the look being too casual. I'll have to try everything on together and see how it feels. Formal wear is hard for me because I never have to wear it!</p> <p>I'm not even being seated with&nbsp;husband... because he's in the bridal party and I'm not! But that's a whole different topic... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/low-heel-special-occasion-shoes---are-these-matronly#post-956715 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 15:52:37 +0000 rae 956715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, there is nothing matronly about either piece on its own, but it's tough to say about them together. First reaction is that wedges and a jersey dress might be a little casual when your DH is in a tux... and somehow that alone might project a little bit of a matronly feel (if that makes sense). Of course it might be different IRL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/low-heel-special-occasion-shoes---are-these-matronly#post-956708 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 15:39:59 +0000 bj1111 956708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>marianna, nothing wrong with being a classic dresser. &nbsp;eventually the world will catch up with you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/low-heel-special-occasion-shoes---are-these-matronly#post-956706 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 15:32:46 +0000 TraceyLiz65 956706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My initial reaction is that I don't see wedges as dressy enough for a wedding where your husband in a tux... I could be alone in this view, so let's see what others say...&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/low-heel-special-occasion-shoes---are-these-matronly#post-956690 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 14:58:14 +0000 Sara L. 956690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think they're matronly on their own, but they could skew that direction depending on the rest of your outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/low-heel-special-occasion-shoes---are-these-matronly#post-956686 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 14:51:03 +0000 marianna 956686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks!

I actually think they're pretty... but&nbsp;I'm 26 and I'm sure most of the women&nbsp;my age will be in 3-4 inch heels, so I know this look is a little different...</p> <p>(Also my husband is the best man in the wedding and wearing a tux, so I do need to look appropriate.)</p> <p>I am still looking for modern accessories to lighten this up a bit, but I just want to make sure I'm not totally off base and dressing myself too maturely.</p> <p>And if I AM heading in the wrong direction with these shoes, please help me find something dressy, with a heel lower than 2 inches, and available in size 12. :)</p> <p>Thank you!</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.zappos.com/dyeables-harper-silver-metallic?zlfid=2">http://www.zappos.com/dyeables.....ic?zlfid=2</a></p>
