Q. My prom dress is white with a regal blue looking pattern (looks a bit like an oriental plate) and I’m at a loss for what shoes to pair with it. Please help! Kaycee M. is in need of shoes for the ball, in Plattsburgh NY.
A. Cinderella taught us the right shoe can make all the difference on a special night. Your prom dress sounds beautiful and great choice choosing a print that will stand out beautifully. A few options that will pair perfectly will depend on the length of the dress. So keep reading for the best options and styles for long or short dresses. I also linked some of my favorite foot and shoe tools to keep you dancing all night.

SHORT DRESS
Any dress that is knee-length or shorter will be a good match for a nude peep toe slip-on. This look will elongate your legs making you appear taller. If you are not comfortable wearing stilettos, go with a platform or kitten heel version.
Wild Pair: Try a slip-on colorful heel. You don't have to match your shoe to the color your dress but highlighting a prominent color or shade in the print dress will add a fun dramatic effect to your entire look.

LONG DRESS
Try on a strappy sandal heel in silver, for a bit of shine. This style is popular because of the back support and ankle strap that securely hold your feet in while allowing your foot to move and breath. Silver is the perfect complimentary color for blue to peak through nicely at them hem of your dress and show off your pedicure.
Wild Pair: You can have both comfort and fashionable footwear by going glam with an unexpected embellished square heel.
