I will try to catch up a bit on what's been going on (yes, we have been working on stuff -- we just haven't been updating the blog) over the next week or so.
First topic: The critical issue of... Shoes!
People keep asking me if I'm going to wear Converse All-Stars. As much as I love 'em, I gotta go with pretty heels to go with my big fancy dress.
So I am currently shoe shopping. This has been a fruitless hassle for the last several weeks, but I have finally had a break-through this week and am now actually trying to decide between a few pair. Would you like to see them? Of course you would!
I would say this first one is the frontrunner right now. The heel is the right height (not too high) and it's really adorable. It looks kind of coral-ish in this photo, but it's quite red in person:
Pink Studio "Violet" in Red. I bought them at Nordstrom right here.
Next up is a very cute pair -- slightly lower heel, which may be good for all-day wear (I know! I know! I can change my shoes at some point. Honestly, though, I don't want to have to worry about it. I don't want to have a "Gee, my feet sure hurt" moment at our wedding where I then have to scare up a pair of more comfortable shoes. I just want to wear and go. It's just how I roll.)
I would definitely have to embellish these if I went with them -- they need flowers or some kind of shiny clip or something. That, of course, doesn't bother me since, you know, I like to make stuff. I like the shininess of them:
Perlina "Pamela" Pump in red. These were from endless.com.
The final contender would also require some embellishment in the front and, realistically, it's too high for me. From the front, it looks like a plain red satin pump. So why am I even showing it to you? Oh, the fabulous jewel-encrusted heels, of course (this photo does not do them justice -- they are very sparkly in person):
J. Renee "Bridget" pump in Cardinal Red. Also from endless.
Honestly, I'm pretty hooked on the first one -- I'm a sucker for a cartoon-ish shoe. I guess I was envisioning something a bit dressier and maybe with an ankle strap so that's my big holdup, but when a shoe makes you squeal when you put it on, I think that's a good sign.
Aaaand... if I do decide to change into shoes later in the evening, I think that these are probably the ones I'd have to get for that:
They're not just Chucks. They are red, sequined Chucks. Um, yeah.
