You mostly know what I look like, right? Will this dress make me look too boobish/hippy?

What color shoes would you wear?

[overture]

I love bold shoes with neutrals, so I'd probably wear orange.

I don't know what you look like, but I feel like those stripes wouldn't be very flattering on most people.

I have no clue about shoes. I am terrible at this. I have a work trip next month and I want to look nice and professional (but it's not a suit crowd).

The hips on the dress seem REALLY unforgiving.

However, you appear to be perfect, sooooo.

I'm hopeless with shoes.

Hmmmmm, I'm torn. This is like right on the cusp of whether or not the top part will pull too much b/c of your chest. It is cute and worth ordering to try on, though. I do, however, only like the navy neck and waistband, not the grey neck and waistband.

You could do a very classic navy or nude pump. If the environment is a little more progressive, you could do spectator pumps (Mary Jane, T Strap or Classic) or you could do an interesting bright canary yellow or kelly green shoe.

I am not perfect, I have the world's chunkiest legs. And a giant ass. But I think the cut of the skirt will be ok. Usually skirts like with a higher waist disguise everything pretty well.

Will nude pumps look weird on me if I am super, super pale?

[zoidberg]

Oh yes, I didn't even notice that they had two different waists. I do not like the gray one at all.

Nope

I am paler than you and I rock them. Just match them to your skin tone as best you can.

No and if you really had chunky legs they elongate them and have a slimming effect. I have pale legs and my favorite nude pumps are the Jessica Simpson ones.

I will check those out.

I will check out the suggested shoes, thanks for the advice everyone!

I think I might just order the dress, hoping that I get the navy version. They certainly seem to have a good return policy.

I think it would be awesome on you. I love the patterns.
