At approximately, 9pm last night, Cinderlla found her shoes! In fact, she was never missing them to begin with…

If I were in a fairy tale, this is how my story would have ended. Ever since I found my wedding dress, I have been on the lookout for the perfect shoes. But being on a pretty tight budget, it was hard to find what I wanted and be able to afford it. At some point, I even thought about wearing anything that gave me 3+ inches in height. Afterall, my feet/shoes would be hidden underneath my dress and nobody would ever notice what I’d be wearing. But then, I thought about the shoes I wear in my office…

Say hello to my comfy, lime green, office slippers:

Yep. This is what I change into as soon as I step into my office. They are incredibly comfy. But they are incredibly opposite from sexy. (I just choose comfort over sexiness when I work.) Wearing these shoes has made me realize that the shoes I wear affect the way I feel! If I’m wearing my tall boots with that click when I walk, I feel beautiful, sexy, powerful. On the other hand, when I wear my comfy office shoes, I feel a bit clumsy and slow as the slippers sort of drag and I am short! So I kept searching and searching for the perfect wedding shoes that would make me feel beautiful on that special day.

Last night, I found them! They were on super sale from Guess for $33!!

They were beautiful, and I felt beautiful in them!! …for about 2 minutes, only when I was standing still. I brought them home and awkwardly wore them around for about 5 minutes in the house until my feet started to hurt. Because they were tall stiletto heels, I had a hard time keeping my balance. At this rate, I knew I couldn’t dance let alone walk properly in these shoes. And then, I looked over to my shoerack and saw these:

My summer sandals I bought from Aldo from over 2 years ago. I compared the height of these and the silver shoes I had just bought and *gasp* they were the same - 3 inches tall! I dunno why I never noticed that before. And although they were not brand new or the bright silver color I had hoped for, they still made me feel good when I walked in them. Most importantly, I could walk and dance in them (I wore them to my college senior ball)! So I think I’ll stick with these shoes. They will be my something “old.” I will save money. And I will not fall/trip down the aisle or be in pain from blisters. Nope, I’ll be prancin and dancin the night away~

Silly me, looking for something I never was missing in the first place.
