OP here

Thanks!

I'm not too into the croc or snakeskin type of patterns, but I do like this one that pp recommended

And I like the idea of a nude shoe, with maybe some black accents
like

or something alone those lines...

Thanks for the nude suggestion!

Go with a nude/bronze shoe. Looks great with a black dress.

I like 13:41's choices.

I think you can never go wrong with a slingback.

I've heard these are supremely comfy. The "croc" version would make them more interesting without being as in your face as the leopard.

D'orsay is "in", too.

i think the sam edelman's are a little too safe/sedate. the nina's aren't my style (i don't like ankle straps), but i get the look that poster is going for -- spectator heels. (i googled, but the only ones i found and liked her $580 -- oh well....)

my suggestions

OP here---would these be too much?

I have a couple events next month where I need to dress nice (Normally I don't! ). These events are various church events, one son is receiving first communion and the other his confirmation. The dress I will be wearing is a "little black dress" (more "sophisticated" than "sexy"). Similar to this one

I am looking for new shoes to go with it, and was thinking basic black heels. I'm not a fan of very pointy toed shoes, but I don't want to look too "dated" either.
What do you think?

I'm 38 years old, if that makes a difference.
