Change is the worst, amirightladies? I've seen many a blog
that once was about things I actually cared about (i.e., food, make up,
clothes) turn into wedding diaries, detailing the most inconsequential detail
of some stranger’s wedding that I was NOT invited to. And so, I’m not doing
that to you. Don’t get me wrong—I will plan the most gorgeous, over the top
wedding you've ever laid your eyes on…all the gold and glitter will likely burn
your corneas if you stare at it too long. But I don’t think it’s right to flip the
focus of CupcakesOMG! from food and self-involvement to weddings. And
self-involvement.
That said, I assume you’re interested in the “good stuff,”
like jewelry and Save the Dates (coming soon) and of course, the shoes. So
while I won’t bore you with the details of putting a guest list together (just
elope!) or meeting the weirdest, and I mean BIZZAREST, florist of my
lifeeeeeeee, I will show you my
wedding Choos, because I know that’s the stuff you really care about.
A couple weeks ago, I went to Saks to get a pair of shoes
stretched out a bit with a friend from work. As we were sitting there waiting
for our Cinderella step-sister shoes to be refitted, she pointed out a pair of
Jimmy Choo d’Orsay pumps in a glittery champagne color. While I had intended to
buy a pair of Louboutains, I thought there was no harm in at least trying them
on. They were so damn comfortable that I decided I needed Jimmy Choos instead.
Blah blah blah, these are the shoes I bought! I never saw
them online—still can’t find them, they might be from last season?—but they
only had one pair left in the store and it just kinda felt like destiny, ya
know? Just as the other pair was, these are so comfortable! Not that I’d ever
be caught dead doing one, but I’m pretty sure I could run a marathon in these.
And while I’m typically a 4.5 inch-heel kinda girl, these
are only 2 ¼, which I think will be better for helping me last through the
night. When you pay this much for a pair of shoes, it’s foolish to take them
off after a couple hours, says me and every woman ever!!
So tell me married/engaged ladies--did you splurge big on wedding day shoes too? Were they Choos?? Do you think it's absurd to spend a month's rent on shoes (of course it is)?? What's your wedding day footwear philosophy?
