[QUOTE="Alice G, post: 79780, member: 1160"] I agree with what Jess says - are you able to link the shoes if they are still available online? If you are interested in any other styles, here are a few which caught my eye on a quick ASOS search (tried to filter for less pricey ones!!) These first two I would recommend with tights. I only wear dresses and pencil skirts as a preference (comfort is key and I can't get on with trousers as well!) and I always wear black tights even with dresses which fit me mid-calf length. Because these shoes have some cut out detailing, I worry they might be 'a bit much' if they weren't worn with tights because, that way, the cut outs are less visible and they look more like just elegant flats.
