Shoes/Accessories to wear with this dress

I'm thinking of getting this dress for my friend's bachelorette party this weekend. I basically have to decide today for it to have any chance of getting here in time. I was wondering what kind of shoes and accessories I should wear. I know I could wear black shoes, but I'm really not a fan of wearing all black and I would like to find ways to spice it up a little bit. Thanks!




ETA - The dress is lace, I don't know if you can see that very well in the picture.

Re: Shoes/Accessories to wear with this dress

  • You could wear anything with that dress!  Do you have any heels already that are a fun print? 
  • Rach, I actually love those blue shoes. I wonder if I could find any kind of jewelry or a purse that color to pull it all together.

    Stacks, I have snake skin heels but I don't think they'd really go.

    Cfas, those shoes are hot! Maybe a little too high though, I have a feeling I'll be a bit tipsy and don't want to end up breaking my ankle ;)

    Here is a picture of my current shoe collection. It's not great, but at least you can see most of the colors of what I have.

  • I saw someone wearing those pink Jessica Simpson ones at a wedding this weekend. They looked dumb with her dress, they would look awesome with yours.

  • I actually have a coupon for DSW and it's right near where I'm getting my hair done, so maybe I'll stop in there and look beforehand!

  • Weird how I come back just in time for a thread like this.  Hang on....

    I love DSW, especially with coupons.

    If you don't find anything, I think your red peep-toe slingbacks and maybe a fun printed clutch would be really cute with your dress.

  • Out of your existing heels?  Either the silver shoes or the red patent pumps, but if you are going to play, go wild.  The options are endless!

    Interestingly enough, there is only 1 pair of those blue shoes left in my size. Fate? Does anyone know how quickly orders arrive from Zappos? Should I pay for faster shipping? I need them by Friday.

    ETA - Ok, DSW has the same shoes for cheaper, but they're showing up a completely different color. Which one is right?!?

  • Well, you could go Barbie, Sparkly, Snakey, lot's of Options,

    I have those sparkly shoes in silver, which would probably work just as well as the gold.

  • In that case, and knowing your financial situation, I would say, just go with the sparkly ones and get some accessories.
  • Personally, i'd do a really bright shoe (LOVE LOVE LOVE those blue ones Rach postsed) with a different bright colored necklace or purse. (Says the girl wearing an orange dress and a nude and hot pink belt today)

    That would be cute.  (Refresh THEN post...)

    Can you do a bright, long necklace?
  • I think since DSW has the same shoes for cheaper, I'm going to go to the store and actually look at the color since I like the color it's showing up Zappos and I don't like the color it's showing up on DSW... but they're definitely the same shoes. Failing that, I will probably wear the silver sparkly ones or one of the red pairs.

    Can someone show me an example of the kind of necklaces you're talking about? I honestly suck at visualizing things.
    imageWedding Countdown Ticker
  • Maybe a cheetah print shoe, or a shoe in a bright color, like pink or lime green. And you can probably wear some long neclaces, and a bracelet or two.
  • Thanks for the suggestions, ladies! I'll figure out shoes first, then move on to accessories!
    imageWedding Countdown Ticker
  • I just saw the picture of your shoes. I'd probably go with the silver ones. If you really want to buy some more shoes. I think that nude would work well too...

    Funny you should mention that because I've been lusting after a pair of nude shoes from Guess AND I have a gift card. I'll probably end up buying them regardless, whether for this outfit or other outfits.

  • I'm pretty obsessive about a pair of peep toe red patent leather pumps I have. I always wear them with LBDs like yours. It appears you have red peep toe pumps in your collection. Done & Done!

  • DSW is calling the turqouise "Teal"

    See:

    http://www.amazon.com/Michael-Antonio-Womens-Loveme-Pat-Pump/dp/B00471ROSY

    Here they have both the color shown on zappos and the color shown on DSW listed as two different colors.
  • Rach, when I get a real job, you are going to dress me. K? K. 
  • Muni, thank you! I definitely want the lighter ones. And I'm an Amazon Prime member so I can get free 2 day shipping there!
