TRY ONE: Skinny jeans would look good with these.(Wait, ohmigod your feet look huuuuge!)
TRY TWO: Maybe my wide leg trousers?
(Scratch that, if you can't see the shoe what's the point?)
TRY THREE: A skirt would work.(Are you kidding? You don't even own one!)

Let me just vent for a moment:
It really sucks to be a size 11 in women's shoes.*
It's virtually impossible hard to find stylish, high-quality shoes in my size. But then, to have them actually LOOK good on? Oh, please.
There are salespeople (indie shoe stores are no better) that claim, "Yes, we carry size 11's" . . . only to bring out a pair of European 41's, which is a 10 in the states. It takes all my willpower to keep my thoughts to myself.
Still, I'm not completely discouraged. I've found shoes in the past, and will continue my quest, undaunted, for more. Plus, there's no room for more in my closet...yet...
If you are a size 10+, please share in the comments section!
We girls need to stick together.
*Actually, I'm luckier than my friend Teresa, who's a size 12.
