A Shoe Update!

Anyone who reads my blog regularly may remember this post that I wrote back in June about my quest for pink wedding shoes. I have probably looked at or tried on about 12-15 pair of pink shoes since that post, and haven't really found any shoes that I felt I loved enough to break the bank on. You see, ladies, my problem is that... I am not a shoe girl. I know, gasp if you must. I will probably lose all my readers on that comment alone! ha! I am most definitely, 100% a bag girl. I can justify spending any amount of money on a bag, but I just don't feel the same about shoes. A $65,000 Dior Detective Bag came into my workplace once, and I had my picture taken with it. Not kidding. I mean I like cute shoes and all, but I just can't justify dropping so much cash on them, even if they are wedding shoes. So anyway, I wandered into Payless on my lunch break last week and saw some black peeptoe shoes that I loved for my bridesmaids. I wanted something simple, with a heel no more than about 2.5" (because the ceremony is outside, and there will be some walking in grass) and preferably with some type of accent on the toe area. Well, these shoes fit the bill. The even better part? They were $14.99. I immediately sat down on one of those mirrored stools and started texting my bridesmaids for their shoe sizes. I knew we had to have these. Well, as the responses started coming back, I realized that the store did not have a lot of this particular shoe in stock, and I was out of luck on several sizes. I went to the sales girl for help, and we started looking at these particular shoes online. As soon as she pulled them up, I noticed a bright pink pair next to the black. I really almost knocked her monitor over when I saw them. She told me that they didn't have the pink in stock, but found my size in pink at a store about a mile away. She called and had them held for me, AND gave me a $3 coupon off my purchase since I had to use gas to drive to the other location! Score! I immediately went and tried them on, and subsequently purchased them because they are perfect. As soon as I got back to work, I went directly to the website and purchased a pair for each of my bridesmaids. Before I tell you the obscenely ridiculous deal I got, here they are:

I mean come on... Payless or not... how CUTE are these shoes?!?!?! I am envsioning one of those really cute shoe pictures of me and my girls, and I love the fact that everyone would have the same shoes! Back to the sweet deal I got.... I got mine in-store for $11 after the $3 coupon. I got each pair for the girls online for $15 each, then I also used a $10 coupon that I googled and found, and also got free shipping. So... I got all 6 pair for $76.00! Now, at first I did feel a little... cheap (?) about getting my wedding shoes at Payless.. but these shoes are SO comfortable, and exactly what I was looking for. .......and it just means I get to spend more money elsewhere.... like maybe on this... in the fuschia of course:)
