What to wear with purple shoes?

    Hi guys
    clearing out my stuff the other day and I stumbled across a pair of purple heels I haven't worn in a couple of years. I really like them and would like to start wearing them again, however I have no idea what would go with them! I used to wear them with a silver dress, but I got rid of that. They're quite bold shoes so I'm not quite sure what to wear with them, and wondered if anyone would have any suggestions?
    I don't have an exact photo of them, but they look very similar to these

    All suggestions gratefully received :D:D

    I have a pair of purple stilettos that I wear with a yellow sillk dress. I think the two colours work really well together in a colour blocking kind of way. But it depends on the style of dress really - maybe a long maxi would work with those shoes.

    Wow, they're gorgeous.

    I'd pair them with a cool pair of blue skinnies if it was me.

    Seconded on the skinnies :D cream/white dress either or maybe a black pencil/bodycon skirt?

    Block colour would look great with these, go with skinnies and show those babies off - something like this (your shoes are much nicer!)

    Or a black dress would be really pretty and you could use some gold/silver jewelry to dress it up/down to your liking. A cream dress would also look really good with them. Maybe a bodycon for going out or something less tight for whatever else you might be doing. If you have the legs for it, go for a mini!

    A simple black dress would work great with these! They are a statement shoe without being too in your face, and pairing it with something simple will really make them pop while still being elegant like you aren't trying to hard. Skinny jeans with a tee would also be great if you're going somewhere that doesn't require a dress

    Oh, wow, those shoes are gorgeous!

    I have a purple pair of shoes I bought in Pennys years ago for a wedding. I paired them with a minty green cocktail dress (sounds a bit odd, but it's a really nice colour and works well on me), but I also have worn them with a black cocktail dress, and black and blue skinnies. You've lots of options, so go wear and enjoy them! :D
