An Open Letter

March 25th, 2008 @ 4:24 pm by Mrs. Tiramisu

Dear Perfect Blue Peep Toe Heels,

Hi. It’s me. I’ve been trying to contact you for quite some time now, and frankly, you’re really starting to get on my nerves. I fell in love with you so long ago, before I even found THE dress. In my mind I’ve pictured us together, enjoying the wedding, with you as that perfect detail that would surprise (just a little) and delight (hopefully) everyone who spotted you. I’ve looked for you in all the usual places, but you don’t hang out at zappos, shoes.com, endless, piperlime, or even nordstrom. Why must you continue to elude me? Was it something I said? I thought for sure I’d come across you in New York City, and spent a few of my precious shopping hours combing the flagship Macy’s store for you. Where are you hiding?!

In my dreams you are pale blue, but I wouldn’t hold antique blue, or the perfect shade of grey-blue against you. You have an adorable peep-toe, and you’re not too tall. I’ve set a budget for you, but I’m starting to get desperate here. If you show yourself, I might just be able to stretch the numbers a little.

I’ve been tempted by your close relatives, but none of them have quite met my lofty goals:

There’s too dark:

Too patent:

Too teal:

And just too much:

And there are countless others that I’ve tossed aside in search of you. So where are you shoes? I know you’re out there in your satin, light blue, elegant but totally fun perfectness. You have an important role to play as both the something blue and the something-the-bride-freaking-loves (besides the groom of course).

Can’t we be friends?

Love, Miss Tiramisu

Someone please help me out here. I’d rather not make a habit of writing letters to accessories.

I purchased the Nina Dyeable Electra for only $100! They are 2.25″ in heel height, a peep toe with partial D’Orsay wrap, and are dyeable. I plan on dying mine after the wedding.

You could get these and then dye them…?

You can always buy dyeables and dye them light blue…not as fun of course but you might be able to get exactly what you want.

Hi Miss T!
When I read your post, I immediately thought of the shoes I got for my wedding. They are Touch-ups Nona.. Yes, you have to dye them, but they are oh so cute, peep-toe, and only a 2.5″ heel! I got mine at shoebuy.com and even used a coupon, so they are a steal! Gooood luck!

Caroline says:

Oh, Miss T, it’s not just you, and it’s not just blue! I’ve been searching for *green* heels to peek out from beneath my dress, and i’m having the exact same problem. I made the mistake of falling in love with a pair of killer, minimal kelly-green sandals by an Italian designer whose name i cannot even remember, and of course nothing i’ve found since even comes close. It’s heartbreaking — but lots of the links above are really cute, so good luck!!

I had the exact same problem!! I finally had to resign myself to a beautiful silver pair of Cynthia Rowley peep toe shoes I found at Off-Sax 5th Ave for $75 dollars. I could never find the perfect Tiffany Blue shoes. I hope you find them!

Stephanielee says:

I had the same problem too!

I almost started believing that I made a concept such as blue shoes up because I couldn’t find what I wanted. I even ordered “the pair” only to have them arrive as being far too green and teal. Disappointment reigned.

I settled for some dyables from David’s Bridal.

Miss Cupcake says:

I ordered the Touch Ups Melissa and I am in LOOOOOOVE with them. They are WAY more comfortable than the two other pairs of Touch Ups I ordered (perhaps b/c the Melissa is a Liz Renee Couture BY Touch Ups style), and super cute. The heel is not too high, not too low, it’s a peep toe, and there is a pretty pearl/rhinestone details. You can dye them to match what you’re looking for!

http://www.zappos.com/n/p/p/7395429/c/14.html

I know Dyeables get a bad rap, but don’t underestimate them. If you find the right ones, no one will know they didn’t come in that color! If you’re not dyeing them to be matchy-matchy (which was their original purpose), they’ll still be stunning and you can make them the exact color you want.

There are also some great dyeable options on http://www.myglassslipper.com/ — including Mrs. Onion’s to-die-for shoes: http://www.myglassslipper.com/products2.cfm/dept/SHOES/ID/3225

Good luck!

i just wanted to comment on how at least four different people posted the same jcrew shoes - which are super cute, by the way.

I searched high and low for you and didn’t find much - everything seems to be too dark, considering it’s spring! - but I second, third, or whatever the dyed shoe idea. That is always the easiest route.
