I need shoe help for this dress - I have some options but need the shrewd opinions of my fellow STers. Suasoria suggested pewter shoes in my review thread, and I really like that idea as I'd be more likely to wear them again. I volunteered to 'work' a this event (wedding) so I need to go a little lower than normal since I'll be running around. It is an evening wedding, but it's in the sticks and there will be an interesting mix of folks attending so I want to hit somewhere in the middle of dressed up and dressed down.

i really like the first ones, they would look really cute with the dress, but i wonder how comfortable they'd be if you're running around. if you are wanting a pewter pair, the ones on the bottom left would be the best, since they have a thicker heel (for comfort) and they're more versatile, IMO. cute dress, BTW!

Cute dress! Is it cotton? If so, I am having a hard time seeing it with a silver strappy sandal. I think I like the idea of pink a bit better. Maybe something like this:
I really like those first ones too, and they're really the only pink sandals I've found that I think might get some future wear. I'm not a pink sort of girl otherwise. I'm not too worried about the comfort of any of these pairs, only since they're from brands that I know fit me well so they won't pinch.
The dress is cotton, but the sash is silk and it feels dressier IRL - I like both of those Miss Mabel but don't think I'd wear either again, so they're probably over my budget .
ETA: What about these?

I really like the first pair that you posted, Elle. I think you could get a ton of wear out of them too, with neutrals and with brights. I just don't know if I'm feeling any of the pewter shoes. Perhaps the last pair since they seem to have a bit of mauve/purple undertone to them.

The purple wedges win then, because they're less than half the price of the first pink sandals. At least the color is cute. Truthfully they'll probably get more day-to-day wear than those pink sandals anyway.
I hate having to look for such specific things on a deadline! I messes with your head and I seriously end up not being able to see if something looks cute or not. Thanks for your help!
