Can I just sidetrack for a second from asking a question and say THANK YOU for the suggestions on our posts so far. I read each one and am always thrilled when I get a suggestion and think, 'YES that is exactly what I should do'. Monica and I are both thrifty and both of us have days filled with things that are not fashion, stylish or girly related, so having a place to talk about it has been more fun and helpful than I ever imagined it would be.
K, back on track. I've mentioned my sister's wedding on here a few times (and now the other one is engaged too!!! so my wedding related posts are just going to keep going). I found a gray dress, it is simple and nice and I won't Pippa my sister by wearing a sexy, great white dress and semi-outshine her on her wedding day. Now the problem is is that the wedding is in less than a week and I don't know which shoes to wear. (I can't help but read that sentence and it feels like it can only be said in a valley girl voice). But really, which shoes should I wear?
Option A: Gray shoes. Oh and the reason I look drunk or something is because I've slept 6 hours in the past 48. I've never actually been drunk, but I'd probably look something like that.
Option B: Black Shoes
I realize that the dress isn't the most youthful thing ever made, but 60% off at Banana Republic with sleeves and to my knees, how could I resist?
OH AND... sorry, so much text this time, I might wear this necklace so don't hate on it, but if you have a suggestion for something better, please do share.

I like a lot of text! It's fun to read. And now I sound like a kindergarten teacher.
Anyway, both the shoes look great. I wouldn't be able to choose between either. So I phoned a friend, told her to come have a look and she said black. So, I'm going with her choice. Black.
Love the necklace, it looks great with the dress.
And it's such a rad dress.
I really like it with the black shoes! I feel like it could use a bright red scarf or some other splash of color. It's a very pretty dress!
my vote is for the gray shoes and add a chunky bright bracelet (like yellow;)
Agree with Vanessa. I love the dress, and that necklace works, but I would wear a colored shoe with it. Or the black shoes (because they do look very nice) and some kind of colored necklace. Or add a summery scarf OR a headband! Or a flower brooch! Whatever accessories you may add, you'll look lovely and not-outshining.
Also, those are both some great pairs of shoes! Jealous.
I like the grey shoes, myself. And I would add a splash of color, but I do like the necklace as is. Good luck!
Those grey shoes are adorable! Love this dress! Love your hair!!!

I love the grey shoes with it! I agree that a pop of color would be fun... maybe one of your sister's wedding colors to incorporate it into the outfit? Either way.. looks cute!
grey shoes for sure!!
I think Grey shoes they keep it lovely and light the black shoes are gorgeous but a little too dark. Congratulations to your sister hope you have a lovely day!

Black shoes....truly yours, Tim Gunn
Gorgeous!! Love the dress on you and I'm voting on the grey shoes. Hope your day is a fab one. xx veronika
I personally like the gray shoes better though the black shoes aren't bad. I agree about adding just a little pop of color somewhere. Do you know what color flowers your sister is doing? Maybe you coordinate there?
Gray!!! :) I love the monochromatic look a lot! Even though they're just different shades of the same color it really pops and looks so classy. Gray gray gray. :)
i'm voting for the gray shoes. i pop of color in a headband, scarf, bracelet or necklace would add some pazazz (sp) too! you look awesome whit!
Serioiusly! You are so so cute! Yay for your sisters, that is so exciting! I think I would vote for the gray ones, but it might even be more exciting if you had like some pale pink, or some kind of pink or coral color to give the whole outfit a little pop! Love the dress though. and don't worry. I too am functioning, or rather trying to function on 16 hours of sleep in the last week!

uni-grey!
I saw the gray first and though that would for sure be my pick, and then I scrolled down and fell in love with the black! They are both incredibly adorable shoes. I would say gray if it's an outdoor, more casual affair and black if you want to go more dressy. But I really don't think you can go wrong!
OH man i was hoping for a universal consensus, but this is just making it harder.
I agree with Annie. Love both, but the black are dressier.
I love the gray ones. The black ones are cute, but to me they just stand out way too much against the dress.
And sorry that we're just making it even more difficult for you to decide...
The gray shoes are hecka cute!..and I think they look best with the dress. I do like the necklace too.
Definitely the gray shoes (and I do think it's gray rather than grey - but don't quote me).
As for a splash of color, I think a brightly colored wide belt would look super adorable!
That dress is fabulous on you and I LOVE those gray shoes!!!
Come take a look inside A Working Mom's Closet
I like both pairs of shoes... just as shoes, but I think the gray pair goes best with the dress. And again with the splash of color... I think maybe a hot pink accent would be nice. I like your necklace choice but I would have said that a pink necklace is where I'd add the accent. Hmm... are you not "in" your sister's wedding at all? Are there other girls wearing something similar to match the wedding colors? I think we're all agreeing on coordinating with the wedding colors here. Either way, you always look great! =)
Is it Saturday yet?! Thanks for not going Pippa on me- although with that rockin' bod and awesome fashion sense, it might just happen. Don't worry, I'm too excited about getting married to be mad. Can't wait to see you! XO
Love that dress! So cute :)
I say either the gray shoes or a colorful shoe(even though I realize that was not one of the options...)!
Option A :)
The gray! I think it is a very pretty classy dress-not "un-youthful" at all!
Whew, that's a lot of comments! I think I'm in the minority here, but I like option B. If you have a more coloful necklace, I'd go with that. Or big, chunky pearls. But you'll look lovely in anything! (Love that "Pippa-ing" someone is now a verb. Poor Pippa...and that fake tan...)

Gray on gray is great.
You look beautiful! I vote gray shoes! Love those ruffles! Orrr go with some hot pink heels. ;) I always love a pop of color.
Sweet blogs, girls! Thanks for stopping by Aisle to Aloha!
I say the black shoes! The grey shoes add too much gray. (That was my lame attempt at a joke. Please forgive me.) And how can you ever pass up knee-length dress with sleeves? On sale? That's like getting the pot o' gold at the end of the rainbow.

gray shoes fo sho!
I think I like it best with the black shoes!
