Shoes!

To be honest. I had totally forgotten about shoes for the wedding until I had a conversation with my Mom last week on my way in to work. But once I realized that I still needed this key component for the big day I was really excited to go shopping for them! Do you go with flats or heels? Open toe or peep toe? Sling back or flip flops? Pumps or high-heels? Fun and flirty or simple and practical?

During my conversation with Mom last week, I had already decided I was going to forgo high heel for comfort. But comfort when it comes to shoes is ambiguous, as it doesn't always mean flats, it could be wedge, kitten heel, slight heel.

I have never tried on so many shoes in my whole life. But I had a great time doing it. I started at TJ Maxx which was a strike out. They had one pair that was kinda cute and kinda comfy but not really wedding day cute. I did find a super cute dress though! It was so calling my name.

Next stop was Macy's. They have so many sales, and I had a coupon and I'm a recent Macy's card holder - all excellent reasons to pop in for a shoe trip. Well, in the shoe department it was a total strike out. Not a lot looked comfortable and not a lot looked wedding. They had a great variety if I was going to go clubbing or if I needed a great pair of Power Pumps - and let's face it. That doesn't exactly scream comfort. I did find a great pair of earrings (they match my new dress perfectly!), a bikini - it was marked down a ton and will look great in Costa Rica!, and I got Mike a shirt. So, it wasn't a total wash out.

Being more of a self-service kinda gal, DSW was a total win. I found The Shoes. They are super comfy (pillows people, pillows), quirky (just like me!), and overall perfect for the big day. Plus, I found a pair of cute flip-flops and some shoes to go with my new dress from TJ Maxx. However, tomorrow I have to go get a 1/2 size larger in The Shoes from a DSW on the other side of town. I can't wait for you all to see them!! I can't wait to have them in my possession!! I can't wait for Saturday!! I can't wait to be married to Mike!! I just can't wait!!
