which shoes? +rep

[VelvetClover]

I just bought this dress

http://www.janenorman.co.uk/fcp/product/buy-fashion-look-fabulous//jewel-neck-body-con-dress/11756

and this one

http://www.janenorman.co.uk/fcp/product/buy-fashion-look-fabulous//one-shoulder-flower-body-con-dress/10888

and I need some shoes to go with each...I need high heels but preferably not REALLY high ones as I'm 5'9 1/2 without shoes on.

I don't know what colour to choose. Anyone find me some/suggest a colour style?

For the first dress something strappy but fairly open so your feet don't look clumpy, not gladiator sandals though as they'll overpower the outfit, and with that colour dress you can get away with black, white, cream, browns (tan/beige prob) and possibly gold if they don't look tacky. The page says to add bright block accessories but that could quite easily turn out hideous and not anything like classy - you're better off with gold/wood bracelets to give it that goddess look

Black heels for the red one, classic look that isn't going away in a hurry. Could also go silver but black goes with most things so you might be more able to put them with another outfit with the darker choice. Again stay away from gladiators but something more solid will work with that dress, but nothing too much like a boot obv

neon green nike with the red straps for the first one

knee high converse for the second one

Gladiator sandals I agree...no way. It's gotta be high heels anyway with these dresses. And yeah colour blocking with the white dress sounds a bit stupid. Thanks for the advice! :) +rep

I like the 2nd one ;)

erm... white heels & a white bag would look nice imo...

This is pretty good advice tbh, wouldn't do it any differently :)

Btw I love the dresses, the first one is really nice!
