Denise, you are so right. I think the dress needs the more delicate sandal. So I have those black ones, plus my Sam Edelmans -- that should be enough choices for it.
The pink clutch was an absolute steal from Danier. I have not seen another like it. Every now and then they have a sale of items that are not in their store or website -- sort of a sidewalk sale. It is buttery soft leather, and I got it for $20. It can be held as a clutch, it has a wrist strap, OR it can be used cross body. And it has those little credit card holders inside, plus phone pocket, etc, making it quite practical.
Thank you for the support on the dress, all. I am keeping the sandals but will wear them in carefully, and take Denise's advice about not wearing them with this dress. She is the styling queen!
