I promise to post pics. &nbsp;I agree, I like the metallic shoe and bag combo idea. &nbsp;Thanks again!</p> <p>tammyw, I am trying for the ultimate combo - as cheap as I can get, but as comfy as I can get. &nbsp;I know, the two don't go together, haha. &nbsp;Problem is, I don't have many if any events like this to attend, so I hate to shell out so much money for a pair of shoes I will wear once.</p> <p>Elle, you have a valid point - one DH made, too. &nbsp;</p> <p>I also know this shoe will work for me (naturalizer in find 1 below), I have it in black and could get it in silver or gold. &nbsp;I would have a chance of rewearing these (and the Okalas too, if they worked). &nbsp;Pro is the lightly chunkier heel, to Elly's point re outdoor walking (and toddler wrangling, haha).</p> <p>Another option is in Find 2 - this type of strap works on my foot. &nbsp;Good price, too, and it is 4.5 in with a 3/4in platform. &nbsp;</p> <p>I've gone full circle, from thinking the Naturalizer silver sandal was it, to thinking I needed a pointy toe, then realizing ankle straps are difficult to fit for me, so back to sandals. &nbsp;</p> <p>I could likely rewear the Okalas and the sandals, the rest would likely sit unworn, sadly, so I would want to spend the least possible.</p> <p>I'm thinking maybe I just need to try some on but I get antsy and want it solved NOW - my personality, ugh.</p> <p>Anyway - thanks to all for your input!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thank-you-angie-i-found-the-gown-now-ylf-please-help-me-find-the-shoes#post-1569283 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 01:10:36 +0000 Elle 1569283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't want to be a spammer but do you know if the outside portion is on grass? &nbsp;Because stilettos on grass or any uneven surface can be a problem. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thank-you-angie-i-found-the-gown-now-ylf-please-help-me-find-the-shoes#post-1569277 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 00:53:58 +0000 tammyw 1569277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How finicky are your feet? I bought a pair of Ivanka Trump heels years ago and oh my, the pain. I've worn them several times, hoping it will get better. Never has. I'll never wear them again. </p> <p>Now I've discovered there are only a couple brands I can wear in heels. They are pricey, but I just buy a nice classic style that will last a long time. My two favorites for heels are Stuart Weitzman ($$$) and Via Spiga (not as bad as Weitzman). I hate heels, and somehow I do just fine in these brands. They are an investment, but worth it for me, and I rarely wear them.</p> <p>Some possibilities (with multiple colors).<br /><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/stuart-weitzman-nudist-sandal-women/3614954?origin=keywordsearch" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/st.....wordsearch</a></p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/stuart-weitzman-nudistsong-ankle-strap-sandal-women/3915100?origin=keywordsearch" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/stuart-weitzman-nudistsong-ankle-strap-sandal-women/3915100?origin=keywo" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/st.....igin=keywo</a>...</a></p> <p>I have these in black and they are gorgeous and comfortable!<br /><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/stuart-weitzman-nunaked-leather-ankle-strap-sandal-women/3973869?origin=keywordsearch" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/stuart-weitzman-nunaked-leather-ankle-strap-sandal-women/3973869?origin=" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/st.....69?origin=</a>...</a></p> <p>Not as high as the others:<br /><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/stuart-weitzman-turningup-sandal-women/3569225?origin=keywordsearch" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/st.....wordsearch</a></p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/via-spiga-tiara-sandal-women/3723625?origin=keywordsearch" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vi.....wordsearch</a></p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/via-spiga-tiara-sandal-women/4050252?origin=keywordsearch" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vi.....wordsearch</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thank-you-angie-i-found-the-gown-now-ylf-please-help-me-find-the-shoes#post-1569250 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 00:18:02 +0000 Suz 1569250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay -- they are now crazy $$ on Amazon but look on eBay: both 8.5 and 9:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Womens-Shoes-Sam-Edelman-OKALA-Dress-Pump-Heels-Wide-Ankle-Strap-Metallic-Latte-/291495497904"><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Womens-Shoes-Sam-Edelman-OKALA-Dress-Pump-Heels-Wide-Ankle-Strap-Metallic-La" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/Womens.....etallic-La</a>...</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thank-you-angie-i-found-the-gown-now-ylf-please-help-me-find-the-shoes#post-1569240 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 00:02:39 +0000 Angie 1569240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>YAY!</b></p> <b><br /> </b> <p><b></b>abc, my client who I went shopping with today bought this <i>exact</i> dress for a very fancy wedding in Dec.

Gold or silver.&nbsp;<b><br /></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thank-you-angie-i-found-the-gown-now-ylf-please-help-me-find-the-shoes#post-1569230 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 23:55:04 +0000 Suz 1569230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>OMG, LOVE!!!</b>&nbsp;</p> <p>So excited for you. I <b>knew</b> this dress would be a winner. I love it best on the larger model. You are going to feel and look spectacular!!!</p> <p>I am totally with Stephanie on this -- given your hair colour, I think a pale gold shoe would be amazing. I also love the idea of silver, but don't rule out pale gold.&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't suppose the Okalas have a high enough heel? Because with my new lighter hair, these ones bookend gorgeously and they are SO comfy. And on SALE in a number of places; at least I got my own on sale towards the end of August.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thank-you-angie-i-found-the-gown-now-ylf-please-help-me-find-the-shoes#post-1569213 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 23:10:36 +0000 Stephanie 1569213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This dress is begging for a classy shoe with a little sparkle…at least that's my first impression. Based on the photos, this is going to look STUNNING on you and very glam and elegant.</p> <p>I know you said silver or nude, but are you open to a more gold tone? I love this pair from Nine West (photo 1 below). <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ninewest.com/Dorey-d%27Orsay-Pumps/15766141,default,pd.html?variantColor=JJ5GKXX_1&amp;cgid=9706265&amp;cgid=9706265">http://www.ninewest.com/Dorey-.....#038;cg…</a></p> <p>The Vince Camutos in my finds below also have several colors available and some fun texture in silver and gold.<div><br /></div><div>The BP Illuminate is another option, and lower in price than the Vince Camutos.</p> <p>I'm seriously partial to this gold idea…I hope you're open to it! So I included a closed toe pair of Steve Madden's that would look nice too. The heel looks thicker on these, and not so high they'd be uncomfortable.</div><div><br /></div><div>Post photos in the dress, I can't wait to see!!<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thank-you-angie-i-found-the-gown-now-ylf-please-help-me-find-the-shoes#post-1569208 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 22:48:31 +0000 MsMaven 1569208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous dress. Tadashi makes such great dresses for real women. No advice on the shoes since I can't wear even 3" any more, but I do like the ones you show.</p> <p>My only advice is to get them asap and wear them around the house every day before the wedding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thank-you-angie-i-found-the-gown-now-ylf-please-help-me-find-the-shoes#post-1569180 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 21:40:02 +0000 abc 1569180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks to AMAZING ANGIE I took a risk and scored the Tadashi Shoji gown she recommended for me.</p> <p>Back story in case you need it - we are part of a wedding in Nov. &nbsp;We will have a small part in the ceremony where we stand and are seen by everyone, so I wanted the dress to be perfect.</p> <p>All Knowing Angie to the rescue. &nbsp;She recommended the dress below so I had faith. &nbsp;Sold out on Nordstrom but found on eBay for 60% new with tags. &nbsp;used buy it now, crossed fingers and waited.</p> <p>It arrived and it fits. &nbsp;It is perfect. &nbsp;SQUEE!!!</p> <p>Sleeves, check.<br /> Beautiful dark blue, check.<br /> Lightweight, check.</p> <p>Perfect, perfect, perfect. &nbsp;I can't thank Angie enough.</p> <p>Now - on to shoes.</p> <p>Some elements of the day will be outdoors and other inside. &nbsp;DH thinks I need to wear some sort of block heel. &nbsp;I originally had my eye on the Ivanka Trump pumps (in nude) but now that I try the dress on, I think I need as high of a heel as I can tolerate bc the dress is quite long. &nbsp;I don't want to risk altering it.</p> <p>So here are my needs:<br /> as comfy of a high heel as I can get<br /> size 8.5 med or wide OR 9 med<br /> color preferences: nude or silver metallic</p> <p>PICS:<br /> 1 - how the dress will look on me (hopefully)<br /> 2 - Actual color of the dress shown on thinner model<br /> 3 - Ivanka Trump shoes in the colourway I like</p> <p>FINDS:<br /> 1 - Ivanka Trump pumps (find wouldn't work for the color I want)</p> <p>Input appreciated. </p>
