I would wear those shoes with a Boden jersey dress, and a nice pedicure but not with tights or nylons. I am 42 and have wide fussy feet as well, but I wouldn’t wear those with a cocktail dress. If your feet aren’t too wide look at Naturalizer they have some nice dressy styles with more contemporary looking heels that are still comfortable.
I live in Southern California and will wear tights with a skirt with sweater or sweater set or a wrap dress and a stacked heel boot or loafer. I haven’t routinely worn a pair of nylons unless it is for an interview in about 10 years. I remember buying a black pair for my grandpa’s funeral in 2009 and then a nude pair in 2012 to my grandma’s funeral with a Boden jersey wrap dress that reminded me of my grandma. My sister is 32 and routinely wears nylons with shorter dresses though especially somewhere she knows my mom will be because she still thinks my mom will make comments if she isn’t wearing nylons....I have never once heard my mom make a comment about it. She always wears closed toed shoes with them.
If you are really concerned about being cold I would look for an al long sleeve wrap dress and some tights and then maybe some booties or a closed toed wedge heel. I like the picture that essnce posted but that seems casual for a cocktail party imho. I agree a moto jacket if you don’t want to do a wrap or a shawl is great. I still like shawls but I know I am in the minority on that one (there was a post a few months back about it).
