Hi again! I bought these shoes yesterday with no idea where I will wear them. I think I''d like to wear them to our rehearsal dinner in 3 weeks, but I''m kinda new to wearing fun clothes/shoes. Do any of you ladies have any suggestions of what you would wear with these shoes that would be appropriate for a rehearsal dinner? (Or really, what should I wear with these shoes period?)

Thank you!

I was thinking possibly this dress. Any opinions?

Ooooooh, they''re cute!!! I love them :)

I think they''d look awesome with a pair of jeans (white or blue) but not sure if that''s too casual for your rehearsal dinner.

Maybe a white summer dress with some red ribbon trim, sash or detailing?

nclrgirl, what ended up happening with your old job? I remember you were feeling bullied...did you get that resolved?
 
darn it! I posted on the wrong thread.

LOVE the shoes though!

Hi again lucky! I''m thinking you''re referring to the HR drama. I just ended up giving in. It was turning into a much bigger deal than it ever should have been. It just wasn''t worth it. They kinda screwed me over more even after I gave in, but I start my new job next week, so I''m excited to move on. (Excuse the language..I couldn''t think of a nicer way to say it!)
 
Well I''m excited for you too! I''m sure your new job is going to be fantastic!

You are too sweet! Thank you so much!
 
I like that combination you have up!

I love anything blue... and those shoes are too cute!
 
I don't like a lot of color, so keep that in mind...

So I would probably not pair those shoes up with that dress, as I would find the combination too colorful/bright. For me, I would pair them with something neutral or with a not-bright color, and probably solid. I would LOVE those shoes with a pair of really dark jeans, too. In other words I would make those shoes the "star" of the outfit and leave everything else more subtle.

Claudinam, I really appreciate your input! What color solid would you recommend? White? Black? It''s great to hear a different perspective. Thanks so much!
 
Of course it''s always best to try everything on, sometimes things you don''t think might work, work beautifully...

White is always an option but would probably be my least favorite combination (maybe a little too expected?)...black might be interesting, I would definitely try that...I think beige could work too...it depends on the material, too...I find that khaki pants, for example, look best with other more neutral/not too bright colors...otherwise it looks unbalanced...

I also think if you''re talking dresses you have a lot more leeway than if the material is touching/covering the shoe. In other words if there''s a bit of leg in between it''s easier to find colors to look good with the shoes.

I do want to tell you, that even though the blue dress/shoe combo isn''t right for me, I do think it''s an INTERESTING combination. There is something about it that "works". That said - I think it''s so much color I couldn''t even begin to guess the purse color you''d want to pair with it. But I do think some people can DEFINITELY pull it off.
 
I think a bright, solid dress would look good.. as well as a white one. Here are few I think would be cute!

Red skirt, white shirt (maybe a button-down). You could even wear them to work that way!

Oooh they''re so cool. I love them.
Yes with that dress but also yes with jeans and a cute top of any color that is in those shoes.
Cream, red, blue.
I have some shoes that are similar in the floral pattern and they are always my "go to" shoes.
Love them.
