Hi Mrs. Plum, I love your wedding posts! This is off this specific post topic but it is in regards to a previous post you did earlier. The Nine West shoes you bought for your bridesmaids was one I just bought in gold for my bachelorette trip to Vegas next weekend. Just wanted to see if your bm’s made any comments regarding if they really hurt their feet or not. Any info you have would be great. Thanks!

Your sister

haha i’m cute! and funny! =)

hey shannon- the nine west shoes, while super cute, were instruments of torture on our feet. seeeeriously. after two days of wearing them and constantly being on our feet, i swear to you that i could not feel the last two toes on both feet or my big toes for about 4 days. haha i’m not trying to scare you, but they really did a number on my feet.

maybe it’s because we hadn’t really broken them in yet, but i definitely would advise against wearing them around vegas unless you already can’t feel your feet– in which case, go for it!

Hi Miss Plum! Love your posts. If you are willing to sell your ABS reception dress I will buy it from you in a heartbeat. I’ve looked all over for it and can’t find that dress. Totally a serious buyer let me know. Thanks and congrats on your wedding!
