Work holiday party outfit help

[y4m]

I'm wearing this dress we've discussed before. It's a sparkly gunmetal gray. The party is evening dinner/dancing at a country club-like location.



What shoes do I wear? I have black satin pumps or nude leather pumps that both seem like they could work... I also tried the black ones with black hose, but that all seemed so dark compared to my upper body.

Nude leather, or silver strappies. I probably wouldn't do black, but it wouldn't be terrible to do so.

I'm not good with shoes, but I would probably go with silver strappy myself. What i really wanted to say is that I love the dress!

I would do the black pumps.

I prefer black with gray and I think the satin pump matches the formality of the dress better than regular leather.

Patent leather would work too.

[Muddled]

I think either of your shoe choices would be fine. No on the black hose or any hose.

[ESF]

None of the above. Black seems too dark, nude too daytime, and silver seems like it would look weird since it won't match and it's not a different enough shade.

I'd try to find something in a color. A strappy royal blue sandal or a wine colored peep toe or something.

But, if you don't have time to buy new shoes, I'd wear black, no hose, and add a black wrap and clutch to balance your top half out.

Best.

I also have the option of hot pink shoes and wrap.

Black shoes would be a fail, unless they were really special strappy sandals. I like a silver shoe, like the silver Manolo Sedaraby, or a silvertone strappy heel. Black satin pumps usually look fairly dated, though I have one pair that has a cool toe box that updates the look. Hit up Zappos to complete the look!!

Ha ha. I just honestly think they rarely look good. They are just boring.

I agree with all of this.  The pink shoes you mentioned could work.

Definitely "no" to nude.  I don't mind nude but I envision it with a solid red or black dress.  This dress?  No.  It would look weird.

I think she probably made her decision 5 years ago

Update:  hahahaha.  I was all impressed that my dress was still in fashion, lol.

I opened this thread, saw the dress, and got all excited because I have it too and love it and I was glad I own a dress people like, lol
