Shoes

[funeralcrasher]

Ok, I bought a skirt & top for work and sadly have no shoes to wear with it. The fabric is lightweight polyester blend, very breathable. The skirt is a little below my knee and the top is buttoned on the front and has short sleeves. Imagine a leopard print, but done with shades of moss green & light beige.

All of my shoes are either black, dark brown, and I have a pair of ivory flats. None look very flattering with the colors. What color and style should I look for?

Taupe pumps.

Is it sportswear or careerwear? That will make a difference in heel shape. I happen to be very fond of Clarks shoes for work

It is careerwear.

Haha. I got the ever popular "Sorry, no results found. Please try a different combination of searches." when searching Clarks for my size. :)

What about something like this?

I like those. Is the skirt tailored, A-line, or full? Is the overall look of a dress or a suit?

Depending on the length of the skirt you might want a little more heel (Yes I know you're tall)

What size shoe do you wear?

[pkbarbiedoll.livejournal.com]

It is A-line and looks more like a dress.

I wear 13.5 narrow. Sometimes I can fit into a 13w. All the 14's Ive tried have been too long.

here is the outfit

Lemme look and see what I find now that I know what you're looking for. I think that the shoes you selected would work nicely. Gotta jet to work atm.

More later.

I agree... The shoes in the pic you posted are a good choice. Pretty details and the colour picks up the beige/tan background of the skirt and top. So... What are you going to do for a purse with this outfit? ;-)

I can't wear a mini backback with this??? ;)

I don't know.. I probably need another purse to. But I'm dreading the thought of paying $100+ for a pair of shoes that probably cost $20 to make.

About the purse situation... If you like backies, I can personally recommend the Ameribag 'Classic' line:

Lots of different colours and fabrics, and healthy for your back, too...

About the price angst re.- the shoes... Just remember that, if you pay $100.+ for a pair of shoes you really like, you get the value back many times over in comfort, pleasure and satisfaction. And remember, also, that a nice pair of $100.+ leather 'classics' (that, granted, probably cost $20. to make) will probably last several times longer and turn out to be a *much* better overall financial investment than the $30. vinyl ones (that may have cost ass much as $2. to make)... :-)

Yeah those will work. Don't forget that in a pinch you can get white shoes and have them dyed too.
