Is this too safe? PIP

I found the one and only pic of me in my dress the day I picked it out and I will be deleting it now that I have posted it on here cause my FI is super duper nosey. Nevertheless I found some shoes today that I thought were awesome but I am now thinking they are just too safe. I got them from DSW and they were on sale and I had a coupon so they were a great deal but I wanted a punch of color. Here is a pic of me in the dress and a pic of the shoes in the box (had to hide those too thanks to nosey rosey lol) What do you think? Safe? Go for something more daring? My colors are chocolate brown and burnt orange.

TIA

    I think you are right.  They are nice shoes but a safe bet.  It's all about the look you want.  So I say go for daring if that is what is moving you.



    Love is the ultimate superpower.   
    It can make you weak and strong simultaneously.

    I love DSW and especially the clearance with the rewards coupon.  I plan to do some funky shoes. I like everything traditional but I think I want funky shoes... go funky if you'd like. But the shoes you picked are CUTE!

    Love your dress!  The shoes you picked are cute but I agree w/ pp, go w/ the color.  I'm having the same dilemma and my colors are coral and champagne.  I know I'm not going to find a coral shoe, but the bridal store where I got my dress has dyeable shoes and the dye is free w/ the shoe purchase.  The shoes are really cute and not that shiny satin material.  I think it's Colorifics and Nina.  I chose a dyeable shoe b/c I also wanted some bling on the shoe.  That's just another option.
