Shoe Saga 1

Lets talk about wedding shoes. "But Ms. Aardvark!" you are thinking "Do you have a dress yet? Why are we talking about shoes before you've even picked a dress!?" You are correct. I do not have a dress. I do have an idea about the dress but I have not tried anything on or purchased anything yet... Hear me out. I would like to have my shoes by the time I start my whole dress hunt so that I will be able to know right off the bat how different lengths work, how easy it is to walk, etc.

I have not selected my official wedding shoes yet but, seeing as I am getting married in April, in the mid-west, I purchased a sassy little pair of lacy rain boots just in case! You will have to wait to see them though. I almost hope it rains a bit just so I can get some cute puddle pictures!
 Now, as cute as those are they really wont cut it for the church ceremony, or dancing all night. So that brings us to our current situation. I originally wanted a closed toe shoe. April will most likely be a bit chilly and I am a sucker for back seam stockings. Unfortunately I have fallen in love with a couple of great open toe shoes. Lets take a look:

Ah-Mazing Bridal and funky without being weird. I think they would be securely on all night for dancing and they are pretty reasonably price.I have another pair of shoes from this brand that I love. They are so comfortable and cute.

If I were to wear these they could be my something blue, they would save me the expense of shoes, and I know they are comfortable. However, I would be missing a HUGE opportunity to purchase some FANTASTIC shoes. Hmmm....

These take my breath away. They are less sassy but more classy and elegant and stunning. They are also Kate Spade and come with the Kate Spade price tag. sigh... Not impossible in my budget but it would for sure be a stretch... also dancing in these might be a challenge. What to do what to do?

So as it stands there are a couple of questions: Do I buy new shoes or wear some great ones I have? Do I  go for fun and flirty or Classy and elegant? Or do I just order both and see which I like best?

Did you buy shoes before any other items?
