Of the Chockers shoes, I liked Dido and Katey a lot but I immediately thought of something like this when I saw the dress:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sinistersoles.com/Striped-Victorian-Mary-Jane-Shoes-p/s-tuk-stripe-mary-jane.htm">http://www.sinistersoles.com/S.....y-jane.htm</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sinistersoles.com/Gothic-Mary-Jane-Shoes-p/s-ellie-425-glenda-shoes.htm">http://www.sinistersoles.com/G.....-shoes.htm</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear---urgent-prom-edition#post-943355 Tue, 28 May 2013 17:58:47 +0000 rachylou 943355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First, I have to say I just love the dress you've picket. Just adore it.</p> <p>Of the monster platforms, I like the first Dorothy's best. They inject a little colour and are dressy. I must say I also have poison eye for such shoes and think they'd be a style-cramper come prom night. I, personally, was all over the place having fun, and I think it would be hard to run around in these.</p> <p>I like the Jade shoes that Ceit linked to, but would like them better if they had a little gold like the Dorothy's.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear---urgent-prom-edition#post-943354 Tue, 28 May 2013 17:58:09 +0000 Anonymous 943354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Lucy ones are kind of veering into a cybergoth silhouette, which could be a nice juxtaposition with the dress. I think those are my fave of all the ones you posted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear---urgent-prom-edition#post-943353 Tue, 28 May 2013 17:50:50 +0000 Lydia 943353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had another quick browse - tell me what you guys think of these please:</p> <p><a href="http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk/category/heels8/product/chelsea1/" rel="nofollow">http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk.....t/chelsea1</a><br /><a href="http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk/category/heels8/product/lucy11/" rel="nofollow">http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk.....uct/lucy11</a><br /><a href="http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk/category/heels8/product/maria16/" rel="nofollow">http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk.....ct/maria16</a><br /><a href="http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk/category/heels8/product/kate16/" rel="nofollow">http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk.....uct/kate16</a><br /><a href="http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk/category/heels8/product/heidi18/" rel="nofollow">http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk.....ct/heidi18</a><br /><a href="http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk/category/heels8/product/heidi17/" rel="nofollow">http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk.....ct/heidi17</a><br /><a href="http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk/category/heels8/product/katie9/" rel="nofollow">http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk.....uct/katie9</a><br /><a href="http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk/category/heels8/product/becks12/" rel="nofollow">http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk.....ct/becks12</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear---urgent-prom-edition#post-943340 Tue, 28 May 2013 17:31:02 +0000 Anonymous 943340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To me, the Katey would be how you would swing it more goth. Blood red shoes and gloves, or a dark purple would look good too.</p> <p>But that clunky shoe with the big heel paired with a victorian style dress is how I dressed for one of my high school proms </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear---urgent-prom-edition#post-943339 Tue, 28 May 2013 17:28:03 +0000 Lydia 943339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Omds - thanks guys for all your comments! I completely get the posion eye thing for the monster wegdes - I've never really considered them as a shoe to wear tbh but I can see the appeal in them.</p> <p>In terms of heels and stuff, I'm completely fine with wearing them - in fact, I adore high heels! </p> <p>@Ceit thanks so much for the links - out of all of them I like the Kateys - I must say I've never been a massive fan of court shoes and I really don't want to go for black because I'll be wearing black gloves as well. When you say Victorian/goth and that type of look, do you have any other suggestion of the type of style I could go for? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear---urgent-prom-edition#post-943209 Tue, 28 May 2013 12:58:53 +0000 Suz 943209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress looks fun and original! I like it. You will look unique, not like all the other girls running around in strapless minis.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm afraid I have a bit of a poison eye for monster wedges, too. I like some of the ones that Ceit linked to, though. The pointy toe is very on trend.&nbsp;</p> <p>Right now your best bet is to make sure the dress works; then you can start doing shoes and such afterwards. You are going to look lovely!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear---urgent-prom-edition#post-943186 Tue, 28 May 2013 12:31:27 +0000 Kristin L 943186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are some high heeled/platform shoes. Will they be comfortable for you to where all night? I think I like the red ones best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear---urgent-prom-edition#post-943183 Tue, 28 May 2013 12:27:17 +0000 Anonymous 943183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First off, pretty dress! I would get that first so you can make sure it fits well and it will be easier to judge shoes once you have the dress in-hand.</p> <p>I have a total poison eye for the shoes you posted, so I am not much help there.</p> <p>I think you should go with the Victorian/goth look of the dress in your shoe styling. How comfortable are you in heels? Because if you are going to be dancing/standing a lot, you want your feet to be happy!</p> <p>How about these ones:<br /><a href="http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk/category/shoes4/product/chelsea4/" rel="nofollow">http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk...../chelsea4/</a><br /><a href="http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk/category/shoes4/product/katey14/" rel="nofollow">http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk.....t/katey14/</a><br /><a href="http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk/category/shoes4/product/jade17/" rel="nofollow">http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk.....ct/jade17/</a><br /><a href="http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk/category/shoes4/product/brazil/" rel="nofollow">http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk.....ct/brazil/</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear---urgent-prom-edition#post-943177 Tue, 28 May 2013 12:20:24 +0000 amiable 943177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm definitely not the expert, but if It were me, I'd go with the green or the red of what you linked above! &nbsp;If you want the shoes to "match", though, the Dorothy black ones are also lovely </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear---urgent-prom-edition#post-943161 Tue, 28 May 2013 11:28:36 +0000 Lydia 943161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey guys</p> <p>I have a prom in about a month and I'm not too sure which dress/shoes to<br /> wear. I'd like something rather edgy/quirky - to reflect my personality<br /> and make a statement. I'm not big on accessories - but I do love<br /> earrings, and I'd like to wear the dress with vintage gloves (think<br /> Cinderella).</p> <p>Well, there's my intro - I'm interested in this dress:</p> <p><a href="http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/dresses/tokyo-doll-black-lace-victorian-maxi-dress_278275401" rel="nofollow">http://www.newlook.com/shop/wo....._278275401</a> </p> <p>But I'm not too sure what type of shoe to head for:<br /><a href="http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk/category/shoes4/product/rosie9" rel="nofollow">http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk.....uct/rosie9</a><br /><a href="http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk/category/shoes4/product/dido12" rel="nofollow">http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk.....uct/dido12</a><br /><a href="http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk/category/shoes4/product/dorothy1" rel="nofollow">http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk.....t/dorothy1</a><br /><a href="http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk/category/shoes4/product/lauren7" rel="nofollow">http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk.....ct/lauren7</a><br /><a href="http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk/search/Dorothy/product/dorothy2/" rel="nofollow">http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk.....ct/heidi18</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk/search/Dorothy/product/dorothy2" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk/search/Dorothy/product/dorothy2" rel="nofollow">http://www.chockersshoes.co.uk.....t/dorothy2</a><br /></a></p> <p>As you can tell, there is not really a running theme throughout the links.<br />I've<br /> literally just selected shoes that I like, without really considering<br /> the dress. Could you tell me 3 shoes that you like? If there are none, could you suggest the type of shoe I should be looking for - or even better, give me a link please?</p> <p>Thanks guys!&nbsp; :)</p> </p>
