Anyone have advice on how to walk in heels?
My dress also arrived today. It is black, simple, and lovely. I found a black 'shrug' to wear over the sleeveless dress, and the skirt portion comes down a bit past the knees, which is a good thing for me. I need to accessorize, and I am thinking bracelet and necklace in silver. Good choice for black? Or I could go with some color. I am not fond of the closure for the shrug (two very ugly buttons), so I'm thinking of ripping off the buttons and fastening it with a pretty pale green and pale blue on a silver background pin in the shape of a dragonfly that I bought a few years ago.
Would this be too much with a necklace? The necklace would sit higher up.
Good grief, I don't know. I'm completely inept at these sorts of things. And I also need to figure out where I'm going to put my hotel room key (which is all I will need to carry with me) since there are no pockets on the dress. Any ideas there?
Fondly,
Your Fashion-absent dork

i would continue to practice walking in the shoes, and let me tell you, your legs and feet will hurt at the end of the evening from being at a different angle than usual.i wear flat shoes and when i wore heels at my sons wedding last year i was feeling it.
silver would look lovely with the black. i think the pin and the necklace might be a bit much on the front of the dress however. how about changing the buttons?
silver is good,, nothing says elegant and classic and understated sophistication like pearls imo-
leave your room key at the front desk or carry a small black clutch
I'll have to clutch all night while I dance my heart out if I do that.
Your hotel key may very well be one of those cards (I liked keys), so my suggestion to tie it to a ribbon and attach to the inside of your skirt with a tiny safety pin might not be of any use. I think putting it in an envelope and leaving it at the front desk is the best idea.
I like silver but that's just a personal preference on my part, so I couldn't say if it the best choice, or if it's just what I would choose.
Depends on the necklace, if the necklace is small-scaled and/or short, and there is some distance between it and the pin, it might not be too much. But getting buttons the same color as the shrug would be a safe way to play it.
What Cat said.
get a small wristlet type purse, you can get them the size of a clutch or so small you can only fit your ID and a $20 folded up hanging off your wrist like a bracelet. college students carry them for clubbing. if that doesn't sound comfy, there is always your bra (snort).
good luck with it.
