Well, a while back I made a post asking what sort of shoes would go well with my prom dress. [Thank you all for your advice]
I settled on some black ruffle t-strap heels from DSW. I was really happy with them.
So this was the final product. [me on the left + my date being goofs]

So there have been some idems on the trend market that have really been making me go, "WHY!?"
And those items would be shiny vinyl-looking leggings and "rompers" for grown women.
Granted, I have seen them put together and looking quite well, but mostly, they just boggle me.
Plain leggings are bad (in my opinion) in the first place, now they've turned over to the dark side and morphed into these cat-woman like bottoms. I'm not such a big fan.
On the other hand, "rompers" are more of an annoyance than anything. "Oh that's a cute shirt!... oh wait... it has shorts attached?" It's quite discouraging.
But hey, if any of you guys or gals out there want to show me an outfit that makes either of these look phennominal, please do.

Well, let me start by apologizing for the aweful picture. Dressing room lighting, mirror shot, on my cellphone camera... sorry!
Now, I need your help and hopefully you stylish folk here at kaboodle can help a prom-going girl in need.
This is a simple dress. It needs some spice. And it also needs some shoes!
I want something with a little character and personality so I don't end up looking boring but I also want something that compliments the dress. What kind of shoe would you suggest (color, style, details)?
Any other accessory or hair (wow, that's a wole other dilemma) ideas would be so helpful too.
Thank you so much!

Okay, so the search for just one pair of stylish, perfect, well made vegan shoes is a tough battle (nevermind the searh for a whole closetfull), but it's not impossible. There are many online stores that sell shoes that are not only animal friendly, but beautiful as well, not just rubber-soled, hiking clogs that seem to define the granola-y animal friendly stereotype.
My absolute favorite vegan shoes come from a designer by the name of Olsen Haus (olsenhaus.com). Her shoes are not only gorgeous and well crafted, but they're also unique and would add some spice to anyone's shoe collection. The boot to the left is her design.
Another designer collection goes by the name MINK (minkshoes.com). The shoe in the middle is a MINK style called "vulture."
Less expensive options can be found in online specialty boutiques such as veganchic.com, alternativeoutfitters.com (shoes on right), and mooshoes.com.
All of these shops have a wider variety of shoes, ranging from
