Need help finding flats

MaggieB Ideal Rock Total Posts: 638 Last Post: 8/27/2009 Member Since: 1/22/2008	Hi everyone, I would also like help from our shoe experts. My fiance is only about three inches taller than me, so I would prefer a true flat, however, I would accept a kitten heel. My dress is a Pronovias, so Spanish style, lots of lace and beading. It is pictured on the current Pronovias thread - the Laya. I would like a pointed toe, or peep toe, flat, preferably with some beading, in an offwhite. I don't really have a budget. I came way under on the dress so I can afford to drop some money on the right shoe. Thank you for your help[:)

trinity911 Cut Rock Total Posts: 218 Last Post: 11/8/2009 Member Since: 11/18/2007	i agree with aprilcait - something plainer that didn't clash would be better. there's a cute pair of cream jewelled ballet slippers on amazon.com of all places and only $21 - bargain! Although, of course if money's not a problem and you want something you can wear again, Miu Miu do a darling range of jewelled metallic ballet slippers

overer Rough Rock Total Posts: 12 Last Post: 9/29/2008 Member Since: 5/19/2008	MaggieB, What size shoe do you wear? There are some ivory flats on ebay right now. I wear between a 9-10 and bought the 9 but it ended up being too small. So if you're unsure about your exact size then buy the larger one. Here's the link: http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksid=m37&satitle=ivory+beige+white+slip+on+flat&category0=

Here is a lacy one though:http://www.zappos.com/n/p/p/7308647/c/3.html

MaggieB Ideal Rock Total Posts: 638 Last Post: 8/27/2009 Member Since: 1/22/2008	Thank you everybody! I'm sorry I've been a little slow to respond. This is my final week of classes before I graduate from college so I've not had the time to compulsively check Pricescope like I like to do I've given a lot of thought to the shoes, and while I love all of the flats, they just don't seem to me like they "go" with the dress. I get that some of you think I should go simpler with the shoe and let the beading and lace on the dress stand out. That's a really good point. But the dress looks very vintagey and these shoes just seem very modern to me. San Diego Lady found a couple of pointed toe flats that I think do look a little bit more traditional, especially I think the first one from Perfect Details. I'm also going to consider going plain satin to not compete with the dress. Thanks guys!
