yellow shoes

I'm in need of help! I bought these utterly delightful yellow sandals by Shellys from Asos (link to the shoes!) and I adore them. They're going to be an absolute staple this spring/summer. Only question is - I don't know what to wear them with! I really don't know what to wear with yellow and every time I think of something, I can come up with a reason that says 'nope. No chance. Not going to wear that'. Green is out or I'll look like a daffodil. Black is out because I don't want to look like a bee. White is out because I can't wear white, at least not on my bottom half (which is the half that matters, really!). I'm a warm skin toned pale lady with red hair (currently dyed brown but going back to ginger soon) and blue eyes which makes my palette limited as it is.

What would YOU wear with these shoes?

  1. I would try a warm shade of light brown? Boring color, but it would accent your shoes beautifully. Grey and yellow is also a very popular color scheme at the moment, and I don't think you can go wrong with blue and yellow either...

    I think sticking to basic colours will work because it allows the shoes to be the star and you should be able to find a simple color that fits with your colouring. I hope that helps!

  2. light teal would work, also variations on the shades of stone

    If you can take strong contrasts, a warm red or a a warm hot pink

    The trick is to pick up the tones in the shoe in the details on the outfit, eg. a line of binding, or a belt, beads, buttons etc. Stick with the warm tones and enhance with details
