As Gidget detailedly pointed out ,it depends on many "if" ,but I personally hope you would be willing to take the risk of trying a pale pink dress shirt out.A necktie with Brown stripes on a pale pink theme would creat a good match (IMHO).Going for a black belt and black shoes makes the mission accomplished.Elegantly enough,you would initially induce a cream-brown classic look,but getting close ,it would turn out to be super-modern pale pink-brown combin.Imagine the impression!

I love my ALDO shoes. Not crazy expensive and still very nice, comfortable and fashionable.

You own one more pair of square toed shoes than I have ever owned in my life. Rounded toe only for me.

Gidget dresses me and buys my clothes. I didn't know that the sealer would be clipping my nuts off when I was at the altar with her.

My wife used to do that until I learned to match the animals on the shirts and pants. I'd advise you do the same.

ALDO is a good option for style. Have yours lasted a long time? I know they often use glue to bind the upper to the sole because they are mass produced (my main complaint about Kenneth Crap shoes)...but that is why they are not as expensive. It is a respected brand.....you will see ALDO at all the higher end shopping areas...South Coast Plaza, Third Street, etc...

I have currently have 4 pairs that I rotate throughout the week. I am good about keeping the shoes shined so they last longer. (I like taking a lunch at the food court on 7th and Fig because of their fabulous shoe shine booth.) I have not had any of the soles seperate from the upper (as you say, a common problem with mass produced shoes) For me, ALDO shoes last about 2-3 years sometimes longer. For less than 100 dollars per pair, it suits me well.
