Cinderella's Glass Slippers

This week we actually accomplished quite a lot, and I am very proud of us. I'll have more blogs to follow since there's a lot to highlight. So stay tuned...

I have been searching for some good wedding shoes everywhere for the past year. I can't really say that I am picky just looking for a few specific things: 1) I was envisioning in my head...silver with sparkles to go with the glamour/Hollywood theme 2) They had to look really dressy with some straps 3) I had to figure out a solution for the grass since we will have an outside ceremony, and I didn't want my heels to get stuck in the grass but have somewhat of a heel so that Paul doesn't completely dwarf me (which he can with his 6 ft frame against my 5 ft no-heeled self) 4) They had to be somewhat comfortable.

I did one thing that I don't often do to find these shoes. I went to Macys. I really do like everything in that store, and their style is really classy, but really expensive; so I usually kind of walk through that section to just enter the mall. But I decided that I wasn't getting anywhere with the other stores, and it wouldn't hurt to look. Maybe I could find some inspiration. There wasn't a lot of selection, but I did find some really beautiful shoes that had everything that I was looking for. It did come with a slightly hefty price, but I figured with a few Mary Kay sales, I could offset this cost and put it right back in my budget. In fact, in only a couple of days I am actually already more than halfway there. Thank goodness for goals. They really make things happen. Paul was with me...poor thing. He did a good job enduring my shopping spree and was actually quite helpful and supportive. It took me a while to come to a decision, but I bought the shoes...It's absolutely gorgeous, and I tried them on with the dress. I know that no one can actually see my feet during the ceremony or ever really, but I feel really special wearing them, and I'll take a few cute pictures of my feet.

The shoes are silvery with straps that wrap around the toes and around my heel. There's 2 sparkling globes that connect the straps together that line up in the center. The heel itself is a wedge shape so that means the heel is wide, and it won't sink into the grass. It is 2 inches high, and it is clear. It reminds me of glass slippers. I feel like a princess wearing these shoes...

So I am definitely excited about finally finding these shoes, and that means I can get my alterations for my wedding dress done. I love checking things off my list!
