sarahbobeara Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Oldest DD is wearing this for a formal occasion (a ceremony for DH). It's kind of an oddball color/pattern but after DD tried it on she loved it. What color shoes would you envision your 9 year old daughter wearing? I think she's going to be wearing thin white tights. I've been thinking of these, maybe I could find a red cardigan to go with? Would that look OK or would you stick with basic black flats? Patent leather? Pewter? I refuse to buy white shoes, don't even go there :lol: I'd hope to keep the cost to under $35. I keep thinking she needs something sparkly/fun/girly and maybe red shoes would do. Thanks for any input :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyinND Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 My first thought when I saw the dress was silver, but I think the red shoes with red sweater could be cute, too. I always think about what else could be worn with the shoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenCat Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I'd go with Navy or Pewter shoes. If you do the red cardigan, then red shoes would also work. Not black, as there is no black in the outfit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahbobeara Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 I thought silver too, but the majority of the silver shoes just scream "wedding!" at me. I know DD9 would make it a point to wear RED shoes as much as possible. She's that kind of kid :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myfunnybunch Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Red would be really cute, even without a red sweater. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 The red shoes are cute and it is trendy to have a bit of flair on shoes. What about making a little pin for her waist that is a red flower the same color as the shoes? A red sweater would be cute but, it would have to be the right red and very simple style. The pattern on the dress could be overwhelming with a heavily patterned sweater (even if it is all red). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2bdeutmeyer Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I vote red shoes with red sweater. Back up? Navy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Tara~ Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Red shoes, no sweater :) Though pewter shoes would be nice as well. But agreed, red would really pop, lots of fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catwoman Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) The dress is very cute, but it's not at all formal. Personally, I would go with navy shoes (but they have to be the right shade; otherwise stick with black) and no cardigan, but if you think she'll need a cardigan for warmth, I like the idea of a red one with the red shoes. If you decide on a cardigan, be sure she tries it on with the dress to be sure it doesn't hit her in the wrong place and make her look chubby. It would need to be exactly waist-length to be flattering, because once it's longer than that, it will be over a flared part of the dress, and will make her look like her body is either completely straight up and down, or that her hips are wide.

kitten18 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I was thinking something like this for silver. http://www.payless.com/store/product/detail.jsp?catId=cat10090&subCatId=cat10324&skuId=092151110&productId=70853&lotId=092151&category=&catdisplayName=Girls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitten18 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I like these. http://www.6pm.com/jessica-simpson-kids-leve-toddler-youth-pewter *I* had a pair of pewter flats that I wore out because I loved them so much. They went with everything.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ruffled edge on the dress may be hard to get a matched line though. http://www1.macys.com/shop/kids/girls/girls-7-16/sweaters?id=47651&edge=hybrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura in STL Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I like the red shoes. I'm not sure I would put a sweater with that dress unless she needs the warmth. Could you do some other red accessories? Something in her hair or jewelry? I also like the red flower idea by a pp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggieamy Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 The pattern is kinda crazy but the dress is super cute. Little Librarian has that dress in an apple pattern and loves it! It's very twirly and lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
