I purchased these shoes last year and have yet to wear them because I had nothing that matched. Since Fall is only a week or two here, I thought I would work on a little wardrobe of items to match with them.

Demin & shades of blue looks nice with the shoes

Shopping in my stash was a lot of fun and I had more fabric than I thought that matched with the shoes.
I only had a 1 yard by 36" wide piece of this blue fabric. I think it's some type of polyester peachskin. The only item I could think to make with it besides a sleeveless top was a butterfly sleeve kimono/cape/poncho thing.

I used bias tape on the neckline to keep it stable.

I used a narrow rolled hem on the bottom and the sides.

I really like how this top came out and plan to wear it with denim & khaki skirts and jeans! Shocker, I know! But I finally bought a pair from QVC and they fit! You may never see me in them, but they are folded nicely in my closet for a "just in case" moment.

Nice shoes. I think tan shoes are neutral and would go with navy , tan , greens etc. I hope you have fun sewing up your matching wardrobe.
