Since before I even had a ring on my finger I've been searching for the perfect wedding shoe. My friend L (also my co-MOH) got married last year and rocked some awesome red shoes under her wedding dress. I vowed right then and there that when I got married I would have some fabulous colored shoes on under my dress too.
And so the hunt began. I searched everywhere - DSW, Zappos, Payless, David's Bridal, several department stores and everywhere else I could think to type into my Google search engine. I found a lot of tempting shoes like these:
I was gonna dye these blue - they're David's Bridal
One problem though. Every time I get close to spending that much on a pair of shoes I get crazy anxiety. I know none of these not even $100 but still. I don't know how Carrie did it on Sex and the City for all those years.
Then yesterday my sister and I went out shopping for Halloween makeup for her zombie costume and we stumbled upon a new store, Nordstrom Rack. I know I've seen lots of cute blue dresses on the Nordstrom website so I thought we'd stop and check it out. We've been looking for bridesmaid dresses too. Guess what I found (it's not a dress)?
The perfect blue shoe!!! And they were under $50. Yay!!!! They're Steve Madden and have a 4 1/4" heel on them. That'll making planting a big kiss on Mr. Plaid just that much easier. I'll only be about 6" shorter than him instead of my usual 10".
Here's a bit more shoe porn for you guys:
*** Those are all personal photos unless noted otherwise.Now all I have to do is wait a year to wear them. Boo. I will just have to wear them around the house all year long to break them in and practice walking down stairs...eek!
I also recently decided that I'm going to be a 2-shoe bride. I plan on rocking these at the reception.
Can you say comfortable? And it looks like Miss Cardigan is thinking the exact same thing!
How long did it take you to find the perfect shoe? And are you changing shoes for the reception?
