Shoe help needed - what works with a brown dress?

Felicity

Hi, I am really hoping I can get some inspiration from you fashionistas ...

I am going to a wedding in August and have a lovely brown and white spotty dress to wear (think the famous race course scene in pretty woman) but I have no idea what shoes to wear with it to look really stylish.

I want a heel but not a mega heel (about 10cm is about my limit unless they are really comfy). My first thoughts were brown suede court shoes but that is so boring.

Can anybody recommend a different colour that would go with brown and white? Then a bag also, clutch? I have searched loads of sights but just can't find inspiration.

It will be quite a posh wedding and my budget is £100 max (but obviously cheaper the better!).

I would really appreciate any guidance ....

Felicity

Oh and also, sorry but I forgot to say I really don't think shoes that have straps that cut across the ankle or top part of the foot flatter me.

Also, the dress is short.

and the dress is a little like this

I bought these in nude and they are the most comfortable shoes I think I've ever worn... so many people commented on them too...

Hi, thanks but I can't see them in nude on the site, I wonder if they have sold out. I really like them, although would prefer a little higher but they do look comfy.

I did wonder about nude but then thought about trying a contrasting colour but I am not sure what contrasts with brown and white. Could yellow be an option?

How about teal green, coral or deep pink? you could have a bag in the same colour or jewellery/fascinator/hat

Felicity

Thanks, I love the idea of deep pink ... do you really think that would go with brown? I am not sure I am that brave ... might look at green ... that would probably be less brave.

I would stick to a nude or brown. The dress is classy make the shoes classy too x

I bought these and they're super comfy. May be able to get more sizes in store?

http://www.riverisland.com/Online/women/shoes--boots/heels/cream-peep-toe-slingback-court-shoes-617016 - these come in loads of colours, including bright orange

I think almost any of those would work RI shoes are always comfy I find too, for some reason.

I think a contrasting brown shoe will look great.

What about red bag and shoes? I think it looks quite nice with browns.
