Hi there,
I have finally settled on a dress for the Christmas party, largely because this cannot be returned. I got it at the Jessica McClintock outlet for $60. Yay.
I wanted glitter shoes, and tried on a ton. They're mostly all too high for me to wear, as I'll have to stand for quite some time. I bought these, but when I tried them again tonight, even with inserts they were uncomfortable. I also think they're a little too high for the dress. But gosh, they're pretty. (I like that they're pewter rather than silver.)
So looking through my closet, the only appropriate shoes I have are these. The plus sides: no additional cost, and they're reasonably comfortable. On the downside, they aren't that exciting. I thought I'd be able to find the photo online, but not quite. These are pretty close, though.
I do have one other pair I might revisit. I saw these at DSW, but I'm between sizes. I could probably add enough padding to make the 7.5 fit.

*Under $50
*No more than 4" total height, no more than 3.25" net heel (e.g. 4" with a 3/4" platform is okay). Most of the ones I've seen are about 4.5" with a 1" platform, and they're just too uncomfortable.
*I usually wear size 7.5
