Need shoes to go with a dress!!

[Michaela]

Oooh lovely!!

I was going to suggest New Look before, wasn't sure if you shopped there though, but I love them for shoes, so nice and cheap even if they don't last forever, I got a really nice pair there for Saturday night. For £20 also.

Are you wearing anything else? Or keeping it simple? I think just a load of purple/silver bangles like you can get at New Look or Claires would look really good. Maybe a really really long necklace but only if its really long

y'all have claires?!?!:biggrin2:

do you have Icing by claires, too? i like that store better, same good prices, but more teen/adult stuff

I don't think we have Icing. Sounds nice. I used to love Claires when I was younger, now I go in there for halloween or fancy dress!

I like this necklace Jen:

Its £7.50 at Dotty P's

Ooooh that's really nice! I didn't see that yesterday, but there was soooo much to look at- our new Dotty P store is a whole 2 floors!! (Sorry, I know I keep going on about this new shopping centre a lot, but it is truly amazing!)

Is that necklace a silver or gold chain? Hard to see in the pic!

I think its a sort of antique silver, like a pewter! It would be perfect.

It might only be available on the site because it sale (was £15)

Hmmm..... I wonder if I can convince Steve to take me to Outfit later to have a look! They usually have a lot of the sale stuff....

 

[pinksalamander]

I've never been to Outfit. Don't think we have one here. I am addicted to ASOS.com though. They're stuff is so pretty. Its the same price as Dorothy Perkins too but not everyone is wearing it! I wear dresses 80% of the time though.

Usually ASOS don't go up to my size! Lol! :embarrassed::cry1: I find sizing so difficult. I can be a 14/16 comfortably in tops in TopShop, but have no hope of fitting into their jeans. But Dotty P (and Asda LOL) I fit into small-ish jeans but am a larger size in tops! :X

Outfit is basically a Dotty P, TopShop, Warehouse, Miss Selfridge, Wallis and Evans (I think) all in one place. Sometimes the shoe section is bigger, but if you've got all those stores in your town, you're not missing much! They're usually out of town though, so easier to get to I guess, but that's about the only advantage!

I went there earlier and got a long antique-silvery kind of drop necklace, with sort of charms on the end. I'm really rubbish at describing stuff, but the silver matches my shoes! I couldn't find that really pretty necklace that you posted, nor could I find any nice earrings (they're all HUGE at the moment!), but I have some that will go.

I've just realised that including stuffing flats in my bag, I'm probably taking 4 pairs of shoes in all, for a 2 night trip. LOL!!! :shock::shock: Oh, and I have 'magic knickers' to wear under my dress. Oh yeah, I'm SO cool!

I could not wear dresses that often. For some reason, whenever I wear a dress, I look ridiculously dressed up! :?

 

[Bo B Bunny]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Those shoes! Perfect for that dress! (When you originally said color I envisioned like bright pink LOL).....

 

[tundrakatiebean]

I just saw this thread and I have to say: You look absolutely FABULOUS in that dress! Definitly a good "LBD" in purple

 

[pinksalamander]

ASOS ownbrand stuff is really generously sized. In Dorothy Perkin jeans I'm an 18 (16 top) and I can get away with a 16 at ASOS, and they go up to 18 if it looks a bit skimpy.

To school I always wear them with wooly tights and a big baggy cardi. Also if you have a posh dress you can put a t-shirt underneath it and it looks really casual.
