Shoes!!

Four months, twenty-five days, according to my forum ticker. Not long, yet still so far. I'm getting a little impatient now, even though I know that I shouldn't wish this time away. There's still a lot to do and two weeks out from the wedding I may be wishing that I put this "impatient waiting" time to better use!

I did tick one tiny little thing off my list today however; I bought my shoes. I have been eyeing them off in Williams for I reckon a couple of months now at least, and today I decided it was time to try them on. When I told the lady I liked them, she said "30% off today as well", so that instantly sold it (although I think I'd decided anyway). So I got a $70 pair of shoes for $49, which is better than I was hoping for for wedding shoes. Here's a blurry pic courtesy of my iPhone:


Please excuse the chipped nail polish. I practiced my "bridal walk" in them, on carpet too.. they don't feel too slippery but at least I'll have my Dad to hang on to if I do have a balance or skidding issue.

I've been researching shoes for my bridesmaids too. It's wayyyy too hard to find gold coloured shoes in stores, so I've been looking at the following website: shoes.com . I've found the following styles which I like, but the actual style will be my BMs' choice:

However I think my girls prefer closed-toe so I will leave the style choice up to them as I said. Additionally even though these are ladies' shoes I love them for the junior BMs:

I am extremely hesitant about buying shoes online as you don't know how well they will fit or look, and if they're comfy enough. But the prices are very reasonable; all the above styles are around the $50 mark, and so much nicer than the hideous ones I see in actual stores.
