shoe dilemma... look it's important to ME ok!

I have a dilemma.
No, nothing life threatening or world shaking, but its important.
It's about SHOES.

Now along with a significant number of other people i love shoes, nothing new in that.
But one of the things with me is that they have to be the RIGHT shoes.

i can't wear brown boots with jeans and a black jumper , even if they are the most gorgeous boots you've ever snuggled your cute little tootsies into.
I cant wear satin courts with a cotton sundress.
I can't wear thong sandals with a formal skirt.

If I try it gives me the shudders and makes me feel totally creeped out.

What is the point to this slightly rambly blog then?

Well, I'm going to a formal black tie work related thing with 3 other female collegues and for one reason or another we're doing cocktail rather than full on floor length.
Although actually I've fallen in love with the dress I've bought , so I'm not all that fussed.
But now we get to the shoe issue.

this is the dress in question.



and i could just wear some plan black courts with it.

but I've seen these.....






And now I'm not sure.

So,
anyone out there have an opinion?

Are they too over the top ?
Should they only be worn with something plain to show them off to their full glory?
Am I a total idiot for wanting to wear a pair of shoes embellished with tape measures to a formal balck tie?
Or are they just totally scrumptious?

:D

Update: they are too high!!!!!!! *sob*
I have piddly size 4 feet and the heels had me walking almost en point.
Back to the drawing board then.
