Spare Pair

I already found my shoes that I will be wearing for the wedding.  However, I'm assuming that I won't want to wear them all night, so I decided that I needed a second pair to switch into during the reception when my feet get tired.  First, I thought that I wanted a pair of flats for my second pair.  This would make it difficult to choose the length for the dress.

So then I started searching for wedges and that's when I found the most perfect shoes.  They are almost the exact same height as the first pair and had so many rave reviews about how comfortable they are!  Bonus:  they only cost $25!  And they shipped here in 2 days (they arrived today and I ordered them on Thursday).

Shoe Success

With time running out until alterations, I hit the mall this weekend to find shoes.  After searching for forever, I've finally found the perfect pair!  (And they only cost my $28.87.  YAY! for DSW clearance).

Shoe Obsession

I have been working on picking out my accessories for the big day, including my shoes.

I have settled on the fact that I want flats (I never wear heals and I don't want to be uncomfortable) and that I want them to be dark purple (our wedding color).

I wanted something like these, but a little "flashier".


I posted about this on weddingbee.com looking for some suggestions and someone posted a picture of these:


I am completely 100% obsessed.  I decided right away that these were THE shoes and that I NEEDED them.

Well after some excessive Google-ing, I found that they were these shoes and had just been sprayed with some glitter.  

So now I had my plan - buy these shoes and some glitter spray.   Unfortunately I only found one site that sold these exact shoes (6pm.com) and they were completely sold out in my size.  I emailed and called to see if they would be getting more in and they said no.  Once they sell out they're gone.

Long story short, I am on a mission to find shoes like those.  I am open to suggestions, so please feel free to comment.  I'd also love to see some other brides shoes for the big day!

Engagement Picture Outfit Idea

As I mentioned earlier, we are going to be doing our engagement pictures next week.  One of our locations is a playground, so I wanted to go for something fun and summery.  I found the perfect dress last night at Forever 21 ($28).  The shoes are Madden Girl, but I found them at Marshalls for only $16!! Also, I can't find the picture of the exact necklace on-line, but it looks a lot like the one below.  I will post a picture of the actual necklace soon.  It was a simple, long gold chain necklace with small plastic read hearts of various sizes spaced around the chain.  I got it at Forever 21 for only $5.  The last piece to bring the whole outfit together is some white and gold bangles - I just need to find some!  Depending on the weather, I also have a white cap-sleeve sweater I can wear with it. Now what should my fiancé wear?

So what do you think?  Feel free to share your own engagement picture outfits.
