I might totally try this (in ivory, though), if I didn't think I would die in those heels. I did consider trying to DIY these shoes by Irregular Choice (their shoes are so fun; I just want them all) :
but was unable to find a suitable "base" shoe. By the way, this particular pair is currently on sale at Ma Petite Shoe in Hampden.
Since our wedding is outdoors, I want to stay away from a pointy heel, lest I sink into the grass. Also, I never wear pointy heels, and the day of my life when people are going to be scrutinizing me most closely is probably not a good time to start.
Many of my friends have advised me to not worry about the shoes; who's going to see them, anyway? I get that, I really do. I just have this thing about being coordinated (although it doesn't always show!) and I just want to know that I have the perfect (or as close to perfect as I can get) shoes to go with the dress. I was truly ready to buy these:
I mean, how perfect are they? They are totally Tracie-shoes, have a little bit of a thicker heel, and they are even billed as "comfort shoes!" The problem? Of course, no one in the internet-world, including the company that makes them (Born) has my size left. I guess many women with average-sized feet thought they were perfect, too!
So, I think that these shoes from Aldo are going to be it:
I love the little ruffles, but what sold me was that the store will custom stretch the shoes to fit my wide feet, so they should (fingers crossed) end up fitting perfectly. I get my dress this weekend, so I just hope that these are "ivory" enough.
