I just bought this dress for a wedding and I'm stumped on what color shoes to wear with this. Would gold be too matchy matchy? And should I be looking for pumps, strappy sandals or what? Argh.

Gold might be a bit too matchy and hard to find an exact shade so how about bronze or brown strappy heels? Will look out for possibilities......

Don't worry darling, I'm only looking!!

I think strappy would look great.  What about something like this

First of all, LOVE the dress.

For shoes, something strappy would be great, but yes gold will be overkill.

A pinkish brown color would be great. Nothing too pepto pink or too pale. I'll see what I can find something...

These might be too bright, but might work:

oooh.  lovely dress!  I think that gold, even if strappy, might be a little too much metallic. 

I'm thinking:

an animal print

a cute floral

my mom wore the floral shoes to my brother's wedding this month and it looked smashing with a solid color dress.  really smashing. 

ETA: i also like the idea of a rose/pink shoe!

I'd have to see them together to be sure, but I really think these might.

Pretty dress! I'd probably wear that with simple black slingbacks with a pointy toe and 3 inch heels. The metallic dress is very striking, so I'd keep the shoes solid and low-key. JMO!

ETA: oh, I'd probably carry it with a black clutch and accessorize with dangly and delicate onyx earrings.

I think a very muted gold, in a strappy shoe, would look great. A dark color will look too heavy and draw the eyes down. A monochrome look is elegant as long as the two colors do not compete or clash. I would avoid a bright or brassy gold.

I agree a nice, matte gold shoe. Love the dress.

I was just in a wedding, and our Bridesmaid dresses were that exact gold color. Hereare the shoes that we wore. They matched perfectly, and I didn't think it was too matchy-matchy even with 10 of us up there in them. Even though they look a little scarey to walk in, they were pretty comfortable and easier to get around in than plain ole heels. Maybe they aren't sleek enough to go w/ your dress, but I think the color is pretty good for it.
