I spent a few hours before work today trolling D.W. Highway for wedding shoes. Why is it that when you've got your money ready to go you can't find anything, but if you go into a shoe store the day before payday, cute pairs will jump into your lap squealing, "Look at me"? Basically I'm looking for a unique wedding shoe in silver, but I want it to be comfortable -- and it can't be one of those dye jobs. I was once a bridesmaid; it rained on the big day and the shoes were ruined before we even headed down the aisle. Debbie Thwaites, of De Cavalier bridal footwear, offered this advice: Make sure the shoe is (1) comfortable, (2) weather appropriate, (3) is the right height for you and (4) matches your accessories. I'm wearing white gold, so silver seems to be the right color and I'm getting married in September, so just about anything is weather appropriate. Beyond that, have no idea. I want to be comfortable, since I'll be on my feet for about eight hours that day, but I'd love to wear high heels, so my butt looks like it's filled with muscle instead of cream cheese. Of course, all the shoes I really like have huge chunky heels that will make my feet ache within 20 minutes. Did I also mention I'm getting married on a boat?
But flats aren't fun. I've enlisted our Fashion Cents blogger's help and we're still looking. But poor Vanessa either hates what I pick out or patiently points out that the stilts I'm eyeballing are completely impractical. Here are a couple of my latest choices. The all come from Zappos, a great online shoe store. Run your arrow over the shoe to get my comments. Write in and let me know what you think.
