What Do You Think?

Are these ugly/weird?

Would it be overkill if I’m wearing a red strapless tube dress (knee-length)? Should I wear contrasty shoes?? Part of me thinks they’re cute, but part of me thinks, “Ew, those remind me of Dolly Parton with sequins and whatnot.”

What do you think?!? (I’ll post a pic of my dress later when it arrives…)

Maybe a bit too sexy for what you’re wanting them for?

i think they’re hot..but i don’t know how they’d look w/ the dress..i’m figuring from the color that you want to wear ‘em for the bachelorette partay? ;) i remember your MOH saying they need to wear black , while you wear red. :) can you post pics of your dress?

Those shoes are $420! You’re only 22. How do you afford everything?

If it was with something understated it would be a nice flash of color but with a red dress too I think it would look a little cheap

where is your party at? If its in Vegas I would say yes! but if its anywhere else I think that would be way too matchy.

I think the effect with a red dress will be too “sexy devil on Halloween.” :)

Have you considered a fun animal print shoe w/ your red dress… could be fun! there are a lot of cute animal prints everywhere this season.

I agree w/ Sarah, a cute leopard print (done right) would look cute w/ red. :)

Maybe if you wore an accessory that wasn’t red and contrasted it would be okay to wear them. IMO leopard print is kind of tacky too…

Hmmm… the pointed toes, sky-high heels, and rhinestones do seem a tad much… :)

How about these? Showing some “foot skin” would be pretty, and these look like they’d be flattering on (the gold tips add some interest as well):

the heel looks a little lizardy! and solid red dress with fully covered red pumps = nono. i say go for gold strappity shoes with gold accessories to match the red dress.

LOVE the shoes….but with a little black dress. I agree that with a red dress it would look a little too, well, bridesmaid-y. In a bad way.

You can do gold strappy sandals with the red dress if you don’t want to do black shoes. And I’ve seen some leopard print/red combos that looked really sexy. I agree with Tiffany in that it *can* be tacky, but done well (and in small doses) the leopard really works.
