Ok, loyal readers:\u00a0 here’s a totally non-library, non-book, non-child related question for you:\u00a0 what shoes would look good with this dress?<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

I’ve been lusting after this dress for a while – when it first appeared in the Garnet Hill catalog in the spring I thought, “That’s the dress I need to wear to E—- ‘s wedding.”\u00a0 E—– being, of course, Jim’s younger sister who will be getting married in a couple of weeks.\u00a0 But I couldn’t afford the dress at full price, and then it disappeared from the Garnet Hill website altogether, which only made me want it more, of course.\u00a0 And then, magically, the dress reappeared on the GH website when their big summer sale started – in the color I wanted (the grey crysanthemum) and in my size.\u00a0 And it looks pretty good on, too.\u00a0 Yay.<\/p>\n

But here’s the dilemma:\u00a0 I went shopping for shoes to match on Saturday, and realized two things.\u00a0 1)\u00a0 I don’t know the first thing about shoes, especially dressy shoes, and 2)\u00a0 I have\u00a0the ability to totally frustrate shoe salespeople with my strict limitations (no\u00a0shoe that shows much of my feet, the shoe has to come in a wide size, no spiky heels, etc. etc. etc.).<\/p>\n

So please help!\u00a0 What shoe would look good with this dress, to wear to my sister-in-law’s wedding?\u00a0 Important detail to note – the reception is outdoors, in a garden.<\/p>\n

And just in case the link to the GH website stops working (if the dress sells out, for instance), here is the photo (click on image to enlarge):\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
