An Aqua Shoe Update

Sorry it's been several days since my last post! I guess I've been busier than normal. The good news is, I found a pair of shoes that I would love to be my wedding shoes. I ordered them, received them and tried them on. The bad news is, I think there's something wrong with them!

They are jeweled aqua sandals by Nine West with a low heel -- perfect!

But when I put them on, it's as though the actual thong part that goes in between your toes is too far toward the inside of the shoe - on both shoes. So when I wear them, my feet do not stay on the shoe.

Here's a picture so many you can see what I mean:

Can you tell?

I thought maybe they just weren't meant to fit my foot, so I wanted to have someone else with a different foot type try them on. The only person around at the moment was Robbie, so he tried them on! They did the same thing for him, and he and I definitely do not have the same type of feet.

I contacted Nine West to see if anyone has ever had this problem before, and they said no. I wrote them back to see if they will send me another pair so I can see if perhaps the pair I got are just defective. Man, why does this have to happen?! I will keep you posted ...

"I Do" Shoes!

If I ever find the magic wedding shoes, I know exactly what I want to do with them. Check out this photo.

Is this the coolest idea or what? I am totally stealing it. I will probably use blue (aqua) letters too!

Not a Winning Shoe

The good news is my aqua Nine West shoes arrived in the mail. The bad news is, I don't think they are THE wedding shoes. I like them, and I like the color, but I think they look a little too much like "going out" shoes. Since they were fairly inexpensive, I am planning to keep them to wear for something else. I'll probably take them on the honeymoon too.

Do you agree?

So the search continues!

A Winning Shoe?

After more searching for a cute aqua shoe, I came across a pair on Nine West's Web site. They are under $50, so I ordered them! If they don't work, I can return them; if they do work, they are much cheaper than all of the other shoes I have been considering. My main concerns, though, are whether the shoe is the right color and whether the heel is too high. If I get them and like the color, my plan is to take them to Solutions Bridal and try them on with my dress. More to come when I receive them!

I Love Shoes

So I have been doing more searching for aqua/turquoise shoe options that are 1) less expensive than J. Crew and 2) have a shorter heel. First, I found some flip-flops from OKAb, which is a cool line that I actually already have two pairs of shoes from. I realize they are flip-flops, but being that it's an outdoor wedding AND people won't really see them, I think it would be OK. {If people won't really see them, why am I spending this much time on shoes?!}

The other option is a pair of shoes from Unforgettable Moments by Lela Rose. She is an upscale designer who did the wedding and bridesmaid dresses for Jenna Bush.

This particular line is sold online and at Payless (yes, Payless!) and has about a dozen different designs. Each can be dyed in one of 64 different colors.

Yet another option is some shoe, I don't know what shoe, with shoe clips. Brittany of Tickled Pink Brides introduced me to shoe clips, and I think they are just so neat. These particular ones are by Erica Weiner, and I love them. Because I love them, they are currently out of stock. But anyway, you get the picture.

Ok, thoughts??
