I'm not a fashion expert, but I think that if you match your shoes to your accessories you can wear almost any color. Black and red are stunning, and black and pink gives a kindof retro feel. Metallic silver or bronze would look great, too, for an elegant occasion.
You can wear a shoe which has a gold or silver along with black highlights matching whatever color jewelry you are wearing.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
