Okay, firstly -- can you replace the ribbons? It's bothering me that the shoes are a cool, bluish pink and the ribbons themselves have a salmonish cast to them. Practically nothing is going to look good if you're trying to match both these pinks at the same time.

As for ideas, ballerinas and ballet shoes are a common theme in lolita and otome styles. I don't know if you want to take it in a lolita direction, though, If those are the Melissa flats then they're a bit too flat to work well in lolita (feet just looks flatter in these than in tea parties). They might work in otome or fairy kei, depending on how you coord them.

If you don't want to go out and buy an entire pink closet for the shoes, you could try these ideas:

- Pick a single colour that works well with pink, eg - beige, brown, white, black. Make a monochromatic coord, right down to your handbag, hair accessories, tights/socks, etc. Add the pink shoes as a single pop of colour.

- pick a few colours that work well with pink and make a coord out of it, for eg- if you have a lot of pastel items that match the shoes, make a pastel outfit. Alternatively, you could do neutral colours such as ivory, beige, cream, and browns. This is easier if you're doing normal clothes, as the visual colour blocks are much smaller since normal clothes don't have the poofy skirt going on.

- You can try looking for/buying another item in similar pink, then doing a harmonious coord with a group of colours (same idea as above, but this works better with lolita). Try to keep to a harmonious colour scheme, have different chunks of harmonious colour so that there's no single colour that dominates while all the colours work together.

- Comb your wardrobe and see if you can find a print dress/skirt with the exact same shade of print in it, and work the coord around the skirt/dress and the shoes.
