PIP: What shoes/sandals to wear with Anthropologie's Bailey Pieced Column dress?

Lucky2BinLove

I just purchased Anthropologie's Bailey dresses in white and navy. I love them both!

1. Am I able to wear them both over the spring/summer? I'm worried that the navy dress color is too "fall/winter"?

2. What sandals can I wear with them over the spring/summer? I was thinking of the Sam Edelman Gigi sandals, but what color? Is there a color that I can wear with both dresses?

Here is the navy one:

Here is the white one:

SE Gigi color I like, but not sure it'd match both (or either):

I have both dresses too and I would wear them as long as it's comfortable to wear them.  I think you could wear this dress year-round, unless it's really humid and hot.

I would get a nude or tan or beige sandal.  Another nestie wore her nude Gigi sandals with the dress recently and it looked very nice together.

Perfect thank you!

btw- what shoes/sandals do you wear with them?

I've worn knee-high boots, ankle booties, and wedges so far.  I will wear them with either neutral or metallic sandals when it gets warmer or nude pumps or peep toe pumps, depending on the look I want.  Here's a few pics (I bought 4 of these dresses):

I've pinned the Anthropologie images to my Pinterest to give me more shoe and accessory ideas:

 

Hope this helps you.

You've got a rocking body!

Thanks for the shoe ideas. I love your cognac knee-high boots. May I ask what is the brand/name of shoe? 

mavjen

Omigosh, thank you!  I think it's the dress, I call it the miracle worker (haha).

The boots are old (more than 3 years old), but I see them every blue moon on Gilt or Rue La La.  They are Modern Vintage 'Frannie' cognac boots.

Thanks for the boot brand and name.

Out of curiosity, what sandals have you/plan to wear with these shoes? (open-toe)

If it's casual dressy, I'll wear my high-heeled wedge sandals in black or metallic gold or coral.  Like these:

If it's super casual or I'm walking a ton, I'll wear sandals similar to these (I have bronze, it's a good neutral metallic):

I'd even wear them with a pair of leather flip flops.

Would this pair of SE Gigi shoes work for both dresses, or should I get something different?

Or... maybe this color (almond patent)?

Oh, I really like both colors of the Gigi sandal: saddle and almond patent.  I think eihter color and leather finish would go very well with both dresses.

So, my choice would depend on what else you would wear with the Gigi sandals.  But again, the sandals are so versatile, they'd probably go with practically everything.

I think my vote would go to the shade that matches my skin tone the best.

Awesome, thanks so much for your help!

That dress is comfortable- I loved the red one on you! Beautiful with ankle booties.

You're very welcome.  And, thank you.

Enjoy your new dresses!
