    Bought this dress on ebay a few days ago:

    What colour/style shoes would go with it? I'm thinking something bright and clashing? I've never really worn orange before!

    Oh dear I just had a thought: with my black hair I hope it doesn't look too Halloween-y! :pac:

    I'd go for metallics like gold or bronze shoes

    Rose gold shoes in Next €41

    If you want to do colour block, Penneys have loads of heels in various bright colours at the moment. This pic is from Aldo but Penneys have very similar ones.

    I think a snakeskin/pattern could work too.

    Those snake print ones would look great with it.


    EDIT: I meant snake leopard, derp!

    For colour-blocking, I'd go with royal blue.

    For a less "clashing" look, I'd go with dark brown leather shoes and some dark brown/cream/gold accessories.

    What height are you?

    I'd worry that skirt length will be way too short and that frankly you'll look like you're wearing a silk dressing gown/kimono!

    Id be careful with the heel height on that basis...

    If you want slashing I'd recommend purple. :-)

    I actually think grey and orange go really well together, you could try that? For colour blocking, definitely purple or blue.
