    Most of my heels or platforms had stretchy straps and I sure stretched the heck out of them, even the toe area looks too large

    The thick black belts I have are like elastic and have only a small amount of leather for buckling

    why don't you poke new holes in the straps of your shoes like you would for a belt?

    Meant to say this too! However, if you are like me it wasn't just the straps that were too loose, the whole entire shoe was stretched out causing them to flip all around even when the straps were tighter.

    I think the boots are way to heavy and clunky looking for a pretty light summery dress like the one you have one. Go to Penney's, Kohl's, TJ Maxx or wherever and get a pair of cheap flip-flops/sandals for $10.

    I'm all for boots with dresses! But you have to make sure you balance it out on the top. Either match more with all the pieces (I do a lot of black on black), or match your accessories to your boots. You need a belt or a jacket. But you look cute and comfy. :)

    I think it looks great, but if you have a wide belt, maybe that would help tie them into the outfit a bit better :) IMO

    I agree. A wide belt or a cropped jacket would pull it together better.

    I agree with this!

    You could make it work with a dark blazer or dark belt and cardigan, but as is, it doesn't work. The boots are just way too heavy for that dress.

    Pick up an inexpensive pair of sandals from Walmart?

    I'm on the "wear it with a belt or cardigan" bandwagon.

    ETA: I think wearing boots in any season is okay as long as your feet aren't sweating.

    I wouldn't wear those boots unless you wear a jacket or cardigan. The boots are fall/winter and your dress is spring/summer. But that is my opinion. You could wear almost any color sandal/heel/shoe with that dress (which you look adorable in btw). Do you have purple, yellow, gold, silver, blue, orange, brown?

    You could just buy a bunch of cheap flip flops in lots of different colors. I think you look cute though.

    IMO the dress looks way too casual for the boots, but then again i don't quite understand the fascination lately with girls wearing summer cloths with winter shoes, but do what you gotta do.

    congrats on the weight loss

    I thought it was just me. LOL.

    OP, You look cute, but I'd lose the boots. Congrats on your success!

    what a foolish statement.
    many men are extremely stylish, and several are highly influential in the fashion industry.

    As someone already posted, it would probably look better with a light jacket or cardigan.

    Or you could always buy some $1 flip-flops!

    I think if you are gong to wear the boots you should add maybe a belt and some jewelry. Turquoise? Or like someone else mentioned, perhaps a black cardigan or shawl.
