Popsicle Pink

June 18th, 2008

With the official start of summer only days away, I’ve been innately drawn to punchy bright colors. Since the temperatures will be in the triple digits here in L.A., it’s only fitting that I’ll be staying cool in easy pieces such asKarta’s Jeweled Shift Dress. The faceted stone detail down the front is surprisingly subtle and the retro shape is playfully offset by a color that rivals the juiciestpopsicles. While the entire photo of the dress (including the model’s footwear) is available on ShopBop, I intentionally chose to use the cropped version so I can ask:

What shoes would you pair with this dress?

I’d love to pair that with shiny blue patent pumps but I am not quite that avant garde; so I’d go with nude super high pumps or maybe white thick criss cross pumps.
Or maybe the gray patent Chloe bandage booties I’ve been craving, which I imagine go with everything? So many possibilities.
Not black though! Im sick of pink and black

Wow-a gorgeous dress! I personally think flat strappy sandals would be nice!

i’m not too sure what shoes would go with the dress. some nude sandals? i dunno. i’m too distracted by the popsicles. yum.

Hm…like other people said, I think nude sandals would look good. Those popsicles look tasty as well. haha.

mmm…Popsicles.
I’d suggest nice ballet flats (Lanvin are super confy but not cheap), gladiator sandals, or if you’re tired of that some nice strappy sandals
cute dress

If you opt for flats I’d go for colour – yellow or orange to contrast the pink.
If that’s too bold a choice then silver is 3rd choice
with high heels i’d go metallic, silver sandals. Or a tan sandal with wooden heel.
Black would be very fashion forward and out there!

I will got for sandals (gladiator style) but please not those very up on the leg one. From K jacques.
Or some very simple BB ballerinas in black from Repetto.

The dress has a pretty easy-going 60s shape. I would wear them with flat strappy sandals or mary-jane! Since it is an advert, I guess they want their models to look more flattering, maybe some wedges?
You ask cute questions xxxx

umm you can pair it wit orange flats..
you can also try Gladiators..

Hmmmm either something clashing like electric blue, or nude Chloe shoeboots like someone else said. Or perhaps white wedges?

hmm….I’d go nude or metallic flats *sighs, I’m not very imaginative when it comes to shoes. haha, that’s because I despise shoe shopping for my teeny tiny feet, nothing ever fits, wth! =(
Those popsicles are making my mouth water! yummm!

I would do a white mary jane I think! But I’m rather prim I guess..
I love the colour your lips turn after having a pink popsicle! I wish there was a lipgloss or something for that.

so pretty! i would probably wear it with golden gladiators, or with a black belt and black heels. how would you wear it?

The shoes thing always kills me. I think probably something equally uber-modern feeling, like patent white pumps or something sherbet colored.

The dress is really nice! The pink would look good with neutral or metallic color shoes but this dress looks like it would be fun to wear so maybe some light blue shoes would make it pop!

Oh my – tomorrow at the market, I’ll be picking up some yummy Popsicles. The weather has been insanely hot! I love that dress, shoes-wise I would go with something like these: http://www.shopbop.com/patent-wham-ankle-strap-sandal/vp/v=1/845524441821357.htm?folderID=2534374302024643&fm=browse-category
I think it would be crazy hot with patent-anything, for sure. Thanks for the lovely comment, Em – have a wonderful day tomorrow!

I would wear nude color strappy heels like ones by Jimmy Choo so nothing is taken away from the dress.

Me, being the boring person I am, would probably just pair the dress with a simple pair of roman sandals!
