Engagement Party Outfit
March 11th, 2010 by Allison Silber
I ordered all of this last night (along with a few other “necessary” but not engagement party related items) from Nordstrom last night. Free shipping and I can return anything in the store (which is walking distance from my house). I haven’t tried on the dress yet, but I am really hoping it looks fantastic! If not, but to square one with the dress shopping!
In terms of shoes, I can’t decide. I LOVE the zebra print but there are 2 downsides: 1. I want to incorporate Zebra into my wedding and wedding shoes would be a great way. It’s not decided but it is a possibility so I don’t want to possibly wear them twice. 2. They are $200! eeks. As far as the black shoes, well, the pro is that I own them (by far my favorite pair of shoes I have ever purchased. I still get compliments on those) but the down side is that everyone knows I own them!
So what’s a girl to do?? I am going to keep looking for shoes, but what are the thoughts on the outfit???

I think you should go for a simple black shoe, like the one you have shown above. The zebra shoe (although cute!) doesn’t really go with this type of dress, and I think they would be way more fun to use on your wedding day!
That dress is adorable, hope you find the perfect shoes! Have fun!

I agree – I love the black ones you already own, and I think it matches better with the dress. :)

I love it. It’s gorgeous and I am sure you will look fab.
And yeah black shoes all the way. I think it’s just going to fit your outfit so much better.
Plus the black shoes have the little “flower” bit that reminds of the details on the dress. I think it’s totally gorgeous, fun and classy all at the same time.
We will need to see pics of that after the party!

LOVE THE DRESS!! OMG You are going to look amazing!
I like the black shoes, the zebras are cute but I think they’ll take away from the dress.

I hate to be the voice of dissent here, but I think the zebra shoes would be an adorable addition… it all depends on the other accessories. Do you have a simple chunky bangle bracelet to pair it with? I think that would add just the “ballast” those shoes need.

To be honest, a new trend is wearing funky shoes with your wedding dress. If you wanted to incorporate the zebra into your wedding, you could wear the shoes to the party but also with your dress. Just an idea.
