Shoes to make me smile!!

Anyone who knows me will tell you that I'm not a fashion icon.  I'm not the right shape for the clothes I'd like to wear, I prefer to fade into the background by wearing black and I hate feeling uncomfortable so that kind of restricts what I buy.  I'm also hopeless with shoes.  Again comfort is the key and the fact that I'm between a 4.5 and a 5, hate heels, look rubbish in flat shoes due to having short legs and quickly develop sore soles means that shopping for shoes is a nightmare.   I also have no idea how to avoid having swollen feet when I'm traipsing from shop to shop in search of the perfect shoe to go with an imaginary outfit to slide onto a body which in my mind is 5ft 6 and a size 12 when reality states it's 5ft 2 and a size 16 at the top and 14 at the bottom.  Now do you see my problem?  My difficulties with clothes shopping are endless so imagine my surprise when last Friday I was given, as an actual present, a pair of shoes I instantly fell in love with.  They are peep-toed court shoes with heels and, on top of that, although they are my beloved black they are covered in bright red flowers and green leaves.  They really are absolutely beautiful and they bring a smile to my face every time I look at them.  Now I just need to find something to wear them with and somewhere to go.  Suggestions gratefully received.
