I am wearing a dark brown halter dress to a wedding this weekend. I have a pair of black heals and would like to avoid having to buy a new pair of shoes.

I think its ok- but I wold have to accesorize the dress with something black to bring it together some. A broch, belt, purse, earrings, necklace... just a couple of things to add ot make the shoes tie in better would help- especially for a wedding. If you dont hvae any, I would make a fast trip to Payless and get some inexpensive brown shoes or sale sandles.
The above comment suggesting Gold shoes was really good. that would look really nice with brown also!

I don't like the way it looks, even though it might be considered OK. Blue goes with brown, but I'm guessing that's not an option either?
Do the black shoes have a patent (shiny) finish or a matte (dull) finish?
How about a different dress with the black heels? Brown isn't a great color to wear to a wedding, unless you don't like the couple for some reason?

AR,
I hope they are black patent shoes,
and 'barely there type' pumps.
That would work just fine -
black patent elegant pumps
are a must in a wardrobe and
may be used universally -
well within reason.....
Belle Rose Sez, above is also
correct in that you should
accentuate the black in the
upper half of the body, and
the simplest way is with a
stylish wrap and certainly
with some nice black/gold
earrings, or shinny black earrings.
Do not wear anything around
your neck with a halter dress.
And, presto, you are ready, oops
how about the bag? It must be black,
hopefully small.
Have a wonderful weeding and remember
you are only as beautiful as you feel!

Yes, black would be OK, but think how glam you would look in a pair of gold sandals with a halter dress. Go to Payless and grab a cheap pair then dance the heels off at the reception!!

It is fashionably correct to wear black shoes with a brown dress; black is considered neutral as far as shoes and purses go.

NO! I'd rather see you in dark brown flip flops. Please borrow some brown shoes! or go to K-mart and find some cheap shoes. Sorry but black shoes with a brown dress just doesn't cut it. Why? because my daughter work's at an upscale store and is majoring in fashion at the Chicago art school.

To a Wedding? Black and Brown? Excuse me for saying so, but how absolutely drab! I would go with something a lot lighter in color. A pastel if anything, no earth tones!

do you have another dress in a different colour? for some reason, i wouldn't want the combination of brown and black, too. and if it's a wedding that you're going to, you might want to wear a pastel-cloured dress instead.

pair the brown dress with a black cardigan/wrap whatever and some black jewlery, necklace and earrings and it will look fine. For your handbag if you have one that is multiclored(but not loud) with blues and greens that would look good, if not reach for a black handbag.

fr some reason, i cant stand black and brown together. an art director at my pervious job would often wear a black shirt and brown pants and it drove me crazy. i cant put my finger on why these colors dont go together, theyre so simular, but honstly just dont go well at all.
