Something Blue!

I just had my first experience ordering shoes online.

I've ordered plenty of clothes before, but never shoes... I had a revelation! I think I really enjoy shoe shopping online! And here's why... I know EXACTLY what size I wear! lol When shopping for clothes, I'm always guessing, as I typically fall between two sizes, or one stores size may be smaller than another store's size (or, perhaps I ate a little more cake than I thought I had. lol). But with shoes, I can go in, buy a pair and they fit perfectly every time. It kind of makes my day. =)

So, anyhow... back to the reason for the post! =)

I always knew that I wanted to wear flats under my wedding dress. My fiance and I am the same height (I may be a BIT taller, but don't remind him of that! lol) and I don't want to be towering over him in heels. So, my thought was some simple white ballet style shoes for the reception, etc. (since I plan on being barefoot on the beach for the ceremony!).

When I went bought my ugly rain boots the other day, they cashier asked me if I wanted to register my e-mail address for a 15% off coupon. Always looking for a deal, I said sure. I figured I'd need new shoes someday, may as well have the coupon around for then.

I got it in my e-mail the other day, and here's the kicker... it had to be used online and within the next four weeks. lol I don't buy new shoes every month! But, I figured I'd take a look at their online selection... particularly in white flats.

That's when I found these:


I kinda fell in love! lol I see wedding photos all over the place with brides with cute, vibrant colored shoes. For example (care of wedshare.com),



So... I did it. I bought my wedding shoes. I haven't even really shopped for the dress yet, but I bought my shoes... my aunt would be proud! =) (And 15% off to boot! lol)
