Please help dress me. I am a fashion virgin. (POLL) (Update below!)

I am a sweats and sneakers kind of girl. I need help figuring out what shoes to wear. Also, what color should my toenails be?

I got this dress for an unbelievable deal and now have an event to wear it. It's a Sunday afternoon engagement party in August. The dress is black and white and ends just below the knee.

Am I supposed to spice it up with these hot pink shoes?

Or shall I go with any of the normal shoes? Black heels, silver flats, or a white sandal?

Thanks so much!!!

I like the hot pink or an open toe black sandal.

I'd say pink sandals with silvery nails or vice versa...

LOOOOVE the dress. I think the pink shoes will look great. And I'd say, treat yourself to a french pedi.

I want to, but have no chance to go with a 2 year old. And I'm not paying the babysitter all that money for me to get a pedi. Someday.

Wear whichever shoes are the most comfortable, especially in light of your medical condition. If you want flair use bright pink polish for the toes.

That's why I only chose 4 shoes that I know I can handle.

The pink ones still keep me stable. And since it's in a resturant I will be sitting a lot. I always bring a backup pair of flats, in case my legs are having a bad day.

Okay- I'll be the odd one out here. I say the black only because the pink looks a bit too casual for the dress. If they were heels instead of wedges, maybe.

I tried on some sexy red heels (that I absolutely LOVED) and they just didn't fit with my mommy chasing feet. They looked awesome and fit okay, but once I ran after DS for 3 feet, I was done!

I tried real hard because I had an awesome red purse! But now I found a more awesome hot pink purse!

I think I may be trendy! I must ask for DH to get a pic.
