Question for the fashionistas

My brother's wedding is coming up and I have found a simple black one shoulder knee length dress for the wedding.  There is a little bit of beading on the one shoulder but other than that the dress is very simple and kind of drapes down to my knees.  I had a gc for the dress so I am giving myself $30 for shoes.  I have two options, I can spice it up with these or do a simple black strapy heal which I already have.  Thoughts?  The wedding is pretty formal.  Thanks

  • Definitely spice it up!!  And get a cute clutch to go with it or a bling-y bracelet.

    Oh no!  I'm no where near that.  Thanks for pointing that out Fly!

    Ditto. I also love a big cocktail ring to add sparkle to an outfit (instead of, not with a statement bracelet). 

  • Spice it up!!  Maybe you can find them in-store. :)
  • I'm always going to vote spice it!

    If you're looking for inexpensive jewelry/wrap/clutch/whatever, there's a Charming Charlie in Cedar Park, and another location in the Domain.  They have all kinds of good stuff!

  • I would definitely try to wear shoes with color if you can. I think that is part of the fun of simple black dresses, accessorize boldly and you can wear the dress over and over again with different accessories and make it seem different!

  • Spice it up!

  • I'm going to be the dissenting opinion (boo! Stick out tongue) and say pass UNLESS you can realistically pair those shoes with other things in your closet & be sure you'll wear them again.  $23 from a cost per wear standpoint is a lot.  Same goes for accessories - even if they're cheap if you're only going to wear them once, it's a waste.  The one shoulder with beading sounds lovely on it own, I think you'll look gorgeous pairing it with what you already have.
  • Spice!

    You will be suprised what other outfits you will find to wear them with if you buy a pair you love!
