I just bought a short yellow dress to wear to a wedding. I'm going to wear it with a white and gold statement statement necklace. Can I go with nude strappy heels (with a small gold buckle at the ankle) that I already own or would I be better to buy gold or another color?

I think gold would look best but the nude ones you have could also work. If you can share pictures of the dress and shoes, it might help to visualize.

This is the dress although the yellow looks brighter than this in person.

ETA: My thought was gold would be better too, but wanted to make sure I wasn't just creating a reason to get new shoes! :) Any gold heel suggestions? I'd like something that would be bearable to chase my kids in as its a family wedding and they are coming.

I personally wouldn't put gold with that particular yellow, and I don't think the fabric of the dress is formal enough for a metallic heel. Can you link to the necklace you're wearing? What time of day and where is the wedding? I think that makes a difference.

I don't have a link to the necklace bc it is from a local boutique. The color of the dress online looks different than it does IRL. The wedding is at 2pm with a 5 pm reception at a country inn. The mother of the groom (my aunt) is wearing a short, simple dress. I was thinking more a gold tone wedge or strappy heeled sandal vs. glittery metallic.

I like nude color shoes with yellow. I have a dress that shade and I wear it with nude strappy sandals with a gold buckle.

I like nude or white.

I like blue with yellow, maybe a navy. I think the colors set each other off nicely. But then I am pale so I don't like to wear nude or white shoes.

Here is a pic of the shoes and necklace (if I uploaded the pic right!)

I like what you have, though a wedge would have worked. You're right, I was picturing a much dressier metallic shoe.

I would do nude over gold.
