Dressing Songy No.4 – Beige Patent Sets
Dressing Songy No.4 has been pushed to the bottom of my posting list for so long. I nearly forgot to finish. It’s really no one’s fault remembering the fashion show I covered and the party! So much is going on in Perth I almost have to say I love the place and I can barely keep up with all of the posting materials.
When I bought the beige patent sandals in question I was dubious about the usage. Well, by that I’m saying I was going against the golden rule of shopping ‘don’t buy unless you love it’. The downfall of that kind of shopping is that I never get out of my comfort zone hence no experimentation.
As usual, collective wisdom of my readers couldn’t be underestimated and you amazed me with more brilliant ideas. Here’s the long list of suggestions from Your Total Awesomeness.

I see this with a black dress maybe. Beige is tricky, not really white, not really brown.BUT i see it with a dress.
Couture Carrie said…
I love the “nude” look – another similarly hued item like a camel or skin-tone dress would be fab!
La Belette Rouge said…
Like CC, I like nude with nude. I also like it with brown and navy. I am a big patent fan. Love beige patent otherwise I feel like beige just looks blah on me.
Dapper Kid said…
I love the pale colour, I would go with medium to dark clothing, so biscuit browns and navy 
Emily said…
one of my favorite color combinations is red with beige. i have some nude patent heels that i throw on with a red dress for a subtle, sexy statement.
The Clothes Horse said… Monochrome beige look? I just imagine a beige winter look of piled on layers…but it doesn’t really suit the shoes…I’m just cold as I type.
THE HOUSE OF STYLE said…
i like clothes horse idea. i will take it a step further… so lots of almost non colours(pastels perhaps)…think ecru,grey,mint etc loose garments. so start with a loose maxi dress in one of those colours then pair over it a loose cardi in another non colour type garment ,could be a loose cardi and so on dear. so make it a loose unstructured look with lots of yummy pastels and mild colours,mix different pastels together for a calm look. Think Jill sander and her muted palette.whatever you wear i know you will look fab!
Stompface said…
I actually wear a ridiculous amount of beigey colours (bags, shoes etc)
I think it looks really good with pale blues and greys.
Sarah-Lou said…
I would wear them with white men’s trousers, a skinny shirt and many many golden necklaces for a glamorous and retro style!
K.Line said…
Here’s my idea: Don’t figure out how to wear them. Send them to me!!
(These are FANTASTIC)
Oh, and they’d look great with navy opaque tights in fall or with a pleated dancing skirt (knee length, chiffon-y)
Agnes said…
OOOOOh, Season 4 of Dressing Songy, I’m so excited!!
I’d probably wear them with a faded pair of old jeans and a fancy sleeveless lace top and long necklaces… that’d be my first draft anyway.
Brigadeiro said…
Oh, I love nude shoes! T these are so simple & classic, gorgeous!
The beauty of ‘nude’ is that you can wear them with pretty much any colour (especially bold tones)! It’d look gorgeous with a patterned dress too! Something easy & flowy, or a shirt-dress (maybe even a bit of YSL’ish safari look with a patterned scarf at the waist for interest).
enc said…
I vote for contrast. Let the beige shoe extend your leg, much as it does for Angelina in that post on Savvy Mode’s blog. Contrast with black, brown, navy, mulberry, grey, purple, green, the list goes on and on.
AsianCajuns said…
Ooo lovely shoes. I have a pair of beige heels (non-patent) that I would wear in the summer as “nude” so that my legs look a bit longer. For winter I think an all-beige look or a chocolate-brown dress!
Let us know how it goes!
-h of candid cool said…
they’re a neutral color so they could go with virtually anything.
and true what enc says because of the skintone-ish color they extend your leg.
TheSundayBest said…
I am utterly useless at this. I really need a giant closet that I can pick things from…
Maz said…
Mmm… I would go street syle. With blue denim skinny jeans & a basic white tea. Tossled hair and a small tan cross-body bag with thin straps. Urban chic

Hmm I’ll wear them! I think shoes of different colors are more fun to wear:D
we wear things said…
oooh those are quite kute!! i’d say a nude slip type dress.. lacy even!
Lavender said…
I’d want a bright red dress to wear with these.
With all that in mind, I went virtual window shopping and here’s what I found. Hopefully, I will be your bitch and dress up for you to finish up this long delayed Dressing Songy No. 4 soon.

November 25, 2008Songy, you have done superbly with these shoes and outfits! You really have more imagination than you give yourself credit for. I hope you’ll model some looks for us.
And I notice you’ve got some very nice jewels in that lineup!
