I liked the look of them too but in the end decided not to get an evening only shoe. I do thank you for looking though!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-this-dress-for-a-wedding/page/2#post-1919108 Mon, 14 May 2018 09:49:06 +0000 Jenni NZ 1919108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your new shoes are classic and lovely. I hope maybe you still do one of the more metallic trenches? True and funny story, after being excited to find metallic heels for you all at no cost to me I've developed a bit of a hankering for some myself. I'm really rather keen on those Supersoft metallic slingbacks from Hannahs! But I'm resisting as I have no occasion to wear such.<br /> I suppose it's predictable that after looking hard for such a type of shoe I would end up wanting some! Speaking sternly to myself </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-this-dress-for-a-wedding/page/2#post-1919033 Sun, 13 May 2018 21:35:10 +0000 Sal 1919033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz and Helen - like so many of us the opportunities to wear heels are few and far between (especially in winter when we become more hermit-like around here).&nbsp; But there have been one or two work occasions each year when I have not had a classic black heel - so I decided this was the chance to upgrade this area.&nbsp; And I really like them a lot despite not being as fun or bookending as well as a bronze or gold pair.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-this-dress-for-a-wedding/page/2#post-1918949 Sun, 13 May 2018 11:16:34 +0000 Helen11 1918949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very chic new shoes.

Although if they are fairly nude I can't see a big issue? We might need Angie to tell us if that is a no-no! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-this-dress-for-a-wedding/page/2#post-1912063 Mon, 23 Apr 2018 19:47:26 +0000 Sara L. 1912063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is perfect on you.&nbsp; I like the idea of a metallic shoe to get away from an all-black ensemble.&nbsp; I look forward to seeing what you find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-this-dress-for-a-wedding/page/2#post-1912052 Mon, 23 Apr 2018 19:20:34 +0000 Sal 1912052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love those Jenni!! I am doing the school shoe shop today and will check them out. Perfect colours and heel height!! My only question is stockings with s slingback? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-this-dress-for-a-wedding/page/2#post-1911892 Mon, 23 Apr 2018 11:11:46 +0000 Jane 1911892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>An amazing dress! Jenni is a great shoe shopper! I’m looking forward to seeing what you choose. I like the metallic idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-this-dress-for-a-wedding#post-1911877 Mon, 23 Apr 2018 10:46:27 +0000 Staysfit 1911877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Jenni NZ’s pick for shoes above. She knows her shoes! It would work with the buttons on the dress. I need to chime in and complement you on the dress! You look stunning in that dress! Wow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-this-dress-for-a-wedding#post-1911872 Mon, 23 Apr 2018 10:07:18 +0000 Jenni NZ 1911872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Sally just in case they are sold out in your Hannahs branch, and since I don't know your size, here are pics. The paler one is more the colours of your buttons, it is Supersoft by Diana Ferrari. The more bronze one is Hush Puppies Standout. I thought they were both really pretty and not too high, but don't know how you would feel about slingbacks. I am going to stop looking now but had fun doing so. I wish you luck with your search!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-this-dress-for-a-wedding#post-1911772 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 20:33:33 +0000 Sal 1911772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes we do:). Hannah's Ziera Merchant plus one or two others. I need to get my son new school shoes so will definitely be at Hannahs!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-this-dress-for-a-wedding#post-1911771 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 20:24:40 +0000 Jenni NZ 1911771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sal try Hannahs. I'm about to go to work too, but saw two great options on-line at Hannahs for you last night. You surely have a store in Hamilton? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-this-dress-for-a-wedding#post-1911770 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 20:19:37 +0000 Sal 1911770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all!! I am off to work soon so can't get distracted :). In summer I will wear the green sandals with this dress for sure. But in winter I feel hosiery and closed ties will be better. I will look around for something in the metallic spectrum - i am sure there will be something.</p> <p>I wear summer heels a fair bit, and heeled boots. I own two pairs of heeled shoes - one are 9 years old and one 17!! I like them both but and wear the 9 year old ones for work but they are not what I want for this special occasion. So a pair of gorgeous heels will fill a small hole and have longevity I hope. I think elegant rather than trendy.</p> <p>I will post a pic once I find them!! We have an outlet mall, several shoe retailers and a few stores offering shoes as well as clothes - plus online of course.

I love the idea of champagne-colored shoes and bags that would play well with the copper...and your fur coat to bring the drama!</p> <p>Like Angie, I worried about this being warm enough, and if the ceremony is outside, I do think closed-toe shoes are in order. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-this-dress-for-a-wedding#post-1911726 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 14:54:03 +0000 Anonymous 1911726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m with Lesley in liking the green shoes and some coordinating clutch.</p> <p>But I can understand why you’d want a close-toe pair. Agreeing with you and others on a metallic shade. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-this-dress-for-a-wedding#post-1911725 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 14:48:41 +0000 Anonymous 1911725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was taken with this dress when you first posted the catalogue shot of it, but now that I see it on you - WOWZA!<br /> I’m in agreement with the consensus there about warm-toned metallic accessories. But if you find the perfect shoes in pewter or a cooler-toned color, you could opt to change out the buttons for this event. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-this-dress-for-a-wedding#post-1911716 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 14:06:38 +0000 kkards 1911716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>fab dress....love the idea of a metalic shoe, &nbsp;but i'd never rule out a basic black dressy shoe... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-this-dress-for-a-wedding#post-1911704 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 12:38:58 +0000 Janet 1911704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Suz and Lisa that some great pumps in a warm metallic to pick up the tones in your hair and the copper buttons would be perfect. Add nude hose, sparkly earrings, and on the of the lighter bags in your collection, and you’d be set! I agree with Bijou that the dress is way better on you than the model. But how nice that it will be a versatile piece to dress up or down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-this-dress-for-a-wedding#post-1911672 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 08:02:44 +0000 Lesley 1911672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your dress and sunglasses are adorbs. I would love to see with the green shoes and envelope clutch, or maybe the black beaded clutch? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-this-dress-for-a-wedding#post-1911653 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 04:33:42 +0000 Anonymous 1911653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bronze or copper shoes seem like they would look best with your faux fur coat. Something to consider. The dress looks so much better on you than the model. I'd add sparkle with earrings and maybe bracelets if they work with your coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-this-dress-for-a-wedding#post-1911648 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 04:02:11 +0000 Sal 1911648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bijou - I doubt I would have bought the dress online if I had seen this pic!! I will have fun finding shoes!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-this-dress-for-a-wedding#post-1911646 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 03:55:59 +0000 Bijou 1911646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes - one stellar pair of heels is definitely called for. With this dress, you are free to put any colour shoe with it, because it will work. I think you will have lots of fun finding the perfect shoe. Metallic is super versatile and would be my choice, particularly with your blonde hair.</p> <p>I love this dress on you. It looks 100 times better on you than the model and is super versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-this-dress-for-a-wedding#post-1911629 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 02:48:04 +0000 Sal 1911629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Brooklyn and Lisa - I think metallic is the way to go too. I was so delighted to see this dress - it met all my criteria. Suz - I agree red could look good but I think metallic might be more versatile in the future? But I think a red lip!! My lifestyle has little call for dressy heels but I think one stellar pair can be justified.....</p> <p>Jenni - the I love Billy ones are fun! I like them. I will likely visit Dress Mart and see what is there.... at the moment my feet are pretty adaptable but I want something that is comfy for dancing too:)</p> <p>Jussie - those are cute too! I think I will do a heel in this instance but I may slip my gold ballet flats on late at night if needed. Since we are staying at the hotel I think that would be easy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-this-dress-for-a-wedding#post-1911614 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 02:25:14 +0000 Brooklyn 1911614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the metallic bags (not black) to lighten up the palette and I think your teal coat would look great too.<br /> Metallic or lighter coloured shoes. </p>
