Ooh!  I like those!  What about something like these, but in black:

Or would a heeled mary jane look cute since the dress is a little reminiscent of the 40s?

both the ones you posted come in black - I like the rosette ones best out of the two...


there were some MJish t-stap wedges at NN that I didn't post... I think it could be a cute look (in black)


$34

I think my ankles are too wide for those, but oh how I'd love to have the comfort of wedges!!!


 


These are the style of maryjane I was imagining.  Or are these considered maryjanes?:

Wow, you are going to look smashing!  And Detroit did a bang-up job finding the perfect necklace for that dress.  When I saw the dress, I was thinking an MJ-type shoe to go with since it does look vintage but maybe with a pointy toe for sexy/sweet contrast:

or, maybe even a d'orsay pump:

these, my dear, are peep toe slingbacks with a scalloped edge.  I like the idea of peep toes with it... those would be cute in black - although I'm not liking the diamond pattern of the dress with the scalloped edge of the shoe...

Yeah, I know.  But I was thinking something along the lines of that or an open-toes MJ.  I like open toe just so my tootsies can stay toasty yet get a little air!


I'm a shoe moron.  I just get what I like........

I have these MJs in blue that you could buy in black.  They're really cute IRL, very 50s & were really affordable, they're 4" though, I dont know if the height is a problem for you.


$29$25

I do, but my feet are teensy - 5.5 ideally - so it's hard to find my size there.............  Plus I'm hoping to find something online so I don't have to drag my kids out!

BQ - Those are both cute!  I'm not sure about the heel height since I really never wear much of a heel.  Might be deadly?????


Shopgirl - I like those last ones, bow and all!


Detroit - I'm such a loser.  I clicked over to bid (I'm a sniper), and it had just ended

oh and can i also suggest..don't do anything that will tie up the leg.  it tends to cuts ones leg off, especially with that cut of dresses.  i HATE when little teeny boppers have their mom buy a $400 dress and then INSIST on dressing around those tie up the leg shoes cuz they think they're fun.  .  they look even smaller and ridiculous and their mom is down $600!  end rant.

those were my favorite bow and all (i just didn't know if you were a bow person).  don't worry about the auction.  i bought some jet black jewelry at F21 and it's all over nordstroms, ebay, etc..  just know that you don't have to pay a ton for it (i don't think i would even pay what nordstrom is charging).

Maybe I'll HAVE to go to the mall tomorrow to scope out black beads and shoes.  You twisted my arm.

Let me know what you finally do with shoes and jewelry because I just bought that dress too for a holiday function.  I fell i love with it and it was such a good price.  I hope it fits now.

Here's a similar necklace from JC Pennys.  You still could probably find something on ebay though.


$30

How would these shoes look w/ the dress?  Too chunky, or do they give it a nice vintage appeal?

I'm not feeling it... they seem too casual. I feel like you need simple black velvet, satin, or grosgrain (sp?) (like the grosgrain rosette shoes)with that dress - there's a lot going on with the dress in pattern and texture, so I wouldn't stray too far from what's already going on... does that make sense?


oh - love that JCP necklace that was posted... I think that would look really nice with it.


another comment - someone said something about tie-up-the-leg shoes - whenever I wear that style, I never tie them up my leg, I just wrap the ties comfortably around my ankle and tie them in a bow in the back...
