Help pick a Louboutin shoe!

[msmec]

Hi Everyone,

I have a formal event coming up and have a white lace dress similar to the one linked below. I've been wanting and am now finally going to get a pair of louboutins

This will most likely be the only pair I will ever get so I want something somewhat classic
( no fur or spikes!).

Which pair/color should I get? Black, nude...maybe sparkly? Patent or leather?

Just some background I'm 5'7 and have black hair and medium/tan skin.

Your thoughts/advice?Thanks so much!

I would probably do a nude patent or leather that works with your skin tone. My second choice would be black. They are an investment shoe for you and I think that wouuld get you the most wear. I would worry that a glittery metallic would be great for now and not later. A glittery black could work if they were mostly for special occasions. The nude would make your legs a mile long in a dress like that.

Thanks for the responses, and I agree I think nude would work best. I love the shape/cut of this one but I don't think it comes in nude:

love the dress, I think nude shoes would be perfect. I love these personally: www.neimanmarcus.com/p/Christian-Louboutin-Filo-Patent-Leather-Platform-Pump-Shoes/prod145860053_cat39620738_cat5130731_/?isEditorial=false&index=46&cmCat=cat000000cat13030735cat42130739cat000226cat5130731cat39620738. I don't love the toe of the first one.

Love the nude as well but don't love the toe on the first CL, I don't think it's very classic. I don't know if the Decolette comes in nude but I'm almost positive the Pigalle does.

Btw I've been lurking on this board (and the nest before that)for awhile but just started posting tonight. This board definitely makes me shop more!!!! Anyways I also get great fashion inspiration which doesn't cost me a thing so thank you :-)

Emyinpink - thanks for the link - I think these are the winner! Crossing my fingers they are the right shade of nude for me!

Love the dress and can I express how super jealous I am that you're picking out Loubies *drool*

I love the nude, black, and glitter, but if I were investing in a pair of Loubs I would go for the nude pump because they're so classic and versatile and can be worn with anything.

ETA: I also highly prefer the shoes in the link Emyinpink posted as I didn't like the toes in the ones you originally posted.

Love the ones Emyinpink posted! I'm glad you went with those, OP! You must post pics, love the dress too.
