Yes, yes. These shoes (which I bought specifically for and have worn with this dress) would have been a better match. But consider the fact that we were on foot, and the weather outside was as follows:
I don’t actually come packaged with the Official Elle Woods Accessory SetTM, I just don’t own many waterproof bags. Or umbrellas for that matter– this one let in more rain than it kept out. Oh, well.
Eventually the skies cleared up and we had a great time. It was a pretty typical 21st birthday, with a little more adult supervision. It started out like this:

That’s a pretty foxy dress! I like it with the hot pink. A little Elle never hurt.
I think I would put the pink shoes with an all white dress suit. Keep the pink accessories, minus the ear rings.

No, correction…
Make that a knee length hobble skirt.
