I love that dress. my automatic thought was bronze... prices range from $39-67 for the low heeled pumps

I see the purple in the dress but what other colors are in it?

Hermes

actually, the low heeled pumps (is this for meeting his parents?) are my favorite with the dress

The dress is only made up of 3 colors: the purple at the bottom, and cream and green on top. Ideally, I would like to wear this for meeting the parents but the v-neck may be too low. If it is, I'll throw on a cardigan or just keep it and wear it to something else-- it's just too cute and I've been eyeing it forever!

Bronze didn't even occur to me but that would be so pretty! Would a wedge heel work for this dress? Or would that be chunky?

P.S. My apologies to everyone for my constant neuroses about choosing a dress to meet the parents :)

I really, really like Detroit's suggestion for shoes -very cool.

Also, don't ditch the dress on account of the low cut neckline. Consider wearing a complimentary cami underneath or even try layering it with simple s/s tops in thinish materials in colors other than white.

Good luck meeting his folks!

sorry! I keep editing my last post (switching cardigans around - should have spent more time on it the first time around) it's just that I love that dress, so it was fun to play with!

I found these when I was browsing Le Train Bleu and I think they'd look cute, plus I think there's a code floating around somewhere.

The simpler the better with this beautiful dress! I would do a solid brown wedge. No High heels!

exsupahero · Kate Spade

i say, keep it simple with something like this

That is so funny detroit-- that was the exact cardigan I picked out for my dress!

I love ALL the shoes!!! I don't know how I'm going to choose a pair. The party is taking place outside which is why I didn't want high thin heels (no aerating their grass!). I love all the wedges and the simple, flat gladiator style sandals too. I'm pretty short -- about 5'2-- so would higher wedges be a better bet for me?
