A Two-Shoe Bride Part III

A Two-Shoe Bride Part III

I’m so very sad to say that my beautiful KORS Allie Sandals from Gilt Groupe will not be shipped to me. I received a notice that the order would finally be shipped and when I went to track the package, I noticed the following message.

Oh no! They sold my shoes to someone else!

Well hive, I’m back at square one for my Ceremony Shoes. Here’s my current criteria for Ceremony Shoes:

Size 8.
Easy to wear and walk in on grass (ie. no stillettos).
Comfortable.
Preferably a black and white/cream stripe - but a black and white/cream pattern might do.
Preferably not a leather exterior, in case dyng the fabric to match becomes an issue.
Under $200, but would prefer less than $150 - and would even more so appreciate a phenomenal sale. The bigger the discount, the better!

Here are a few options I’ve considered so far - but none of them have truly felt like “the ones.”

Rafe New York Black Striped ‘Vanessa’ Wedge Sandals
$112.99 (50% off) @ Bluefly.com
Sooo close to the original shoes - but it doesn’t seem as dressy or fun.

Christian Louboutin Black Polka Dot ‘Menorca’ Peep Toe Espadrilles
$248 (20$% off) @ Bluefly.com
WAY cute - but not in my size or my budget.

These Mohop shoes aren’t in my price range either, but are extremely versatile. I could definitely wear them again and with pretty much anything because the ribbons are interchangeable. They come with the ribbon set of your choice - and take a look at the black/white stripe in the Neutrals ribbon set shown below.

Mohop Cherry Wedge Platform Sandals
$298 @ Mohop

I love the fourth ribbon from the top - it’s almost perfect!

Still - nothing is quite the $40 fabulous shoe I fell in love with before. I guess I will just have to keep searching. Perhaps a pair of the Allies will turn up on eBay within my budget - or perhaps I will discover new love!

Please help me shoe shop! Do any of you have any shoe shopping suggestions for me?

They aren’t expensive, but they might do the trick!

The original pair were really great. Sorry it didn’t happen for you. Not sure if this helps but the Nordstrom half yearly sale begins Friday I think and they may have deals on shoes.

I also saw this
http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/37657219/c/151.html

The deals at Gilt Groupe are awesome. Would it be possible to invite me to join? Here’s my email address if it’s possible. atsmiley@gmail.com

i’m definitely wearing naturalizer at our wedding… they’re no longer “old lady shoes.” they have some great designers now. these were the only ones that really fit your criteria.
good luck

The Rafe pair actually strikes ME as more weddingy than the Kors ones - they’re not as chunky, and are still a wedge so you can walk in them…but that may just be me.

They’re adorable!!

I think that the first two are the best options. I don’t think that the third pair look very comfortable or outdoorsy…even though they are wood.

I really like these…but I’m not sure that there is enough black in there for ya!

http://www.piperlime.com/browse/product.do?cid=35988&pid=571462&scid=571462002

Also, I tried to look at the shoes on gilt groupe but wasn’t able to. Is there a limit to how many people you can invite? If there isn’t please invite me!!! I’m still in need of a shower dress, rehearsal dress and shoes for both!!! my email is afilesi at gmail dot com
