Last week a regular customer arrived dress in hand needing a matching pair of shoes for a formal Yachting dinner. Here is what she had to say about her visit……………
When an invitation arrived for Summer Dinner Dance I decided that given the grey skies that seem determined to sit constantly above us I would opt for a bright and colourful dress in defiance.
Last year I purchased a dress from Wallis which was destined to be worn to a wedding reception then at the last moment like a typical female I changed my mind and wore something else.
Anyway I have decided that the dress is now my perfect option for the Dinner Dance but I didn’t really have a suitable pair of shoes. I knew exactly where to head, The Golden Boot in Maidstone. In the past I have never been disappointed with the range on offer and the most exceptional, knowledgeable and friendly service.
I called in on Thursday and since I had last shopped at The Golden Boot the ladies department had been given a stylish makeover. It looked very stylish and I quickly spied a pair of beautiful dressy peep toe fuchsia pink sandals called Zinda Stelline.
One of the assistants greeted me. I showed her the dress, I brought it with me as it is a mix of so many different colours and I wanted to be sure of a perfect matching pair of shoes. I find that sometimes the colour you have in your mind doesn’t always match your purchase when you get it home.
I was shown three or four different styles. All were absolutely beautiful matches to the dress. Luckily it wasn’t busy when I came into the shop and all assistants were brilliant and offered their personal opinions. One girl even suggested a more casual Gabor design, a wedge sandal called Mary saying that it meant I could even wear the dress in the day time for a less formal choice of outfit.
Now it was decision time. My eyes kept wandering back to the gorgeous pair of Zinda’s. I learnt that it was a Spanish brand and an assistant pointed out the solid patent heel and two tone design, saying that it really did match the bright colours in my dress perfectly. Trying them on yet another time, the fact that they were comfortable was such a bonus that it made my mind up for me.
Even my husband was complimentary about the shoes, he noticed that everything matched so nicely.
The evening went wonderfully and during the course of the evening two ladies asked me where I had got my outfit from.
P.S I will be back to purchase Gabor Mary, I think it will give me the opportunity to wear the dress again and it will look great with white jeans.
