Shoe Shoot

June 25th, 2010 @ 2:04 pm by Mrs. Socks

Since I’m gonna rock a short dress, I decided I needed some super cute shoes. Specifically, some yellow super cute shoes. I looked and looked online, but was so hesitant to buy because I’ve always gotten the wrong size whenever I bought shoes via the internet!

So one afternoon, Mr. Socks and I wandered into the Kate Spade store at King of Prussia mall, and I saw them. My shoes. The Kate Spade Kellie Toos in Mustard. We both LOVED them.

I tried them on, but didn’t buy. They were $295!! Waaay more than I thought I’d spend on shoes. But I couldn’t get them out of my head, and a few months later, I saw them through the window of the Kate Spade store in Princeton.

I bought them. I couldn’t help it! Wanna see?

All photos taken by me!

Okay, I decided to play photographer and I took WAY too many pics! But how well does it go with my Kate Spade bag-zilla?? Swoon!

Originally $295, I got a 10% discount for being a student (I was taking 1 continuing education class at the time, but whatevs, it works), then I used a $50 Amex gift card I got for Christmas, and a $25 Amex gift card I got from my mom, so they were only $190!!

These pics make me so happy! I’m glad that I decided to go with these shoes and the clutch because they’re just so sunny and make me smile! Even though the shoes + clutch together were nearly $300, I definitely don’t have buyer’s remorse. Yes, they were expensive, but I thought about each decision long and hard and neither purchase was an impulse!

And they’re just so pretty!!

Did you make a big purchase you normally wouldn’t for your day? Were you happy with your decision or did you regret it?

Love the shoes! Love the pic with your rings on the heels! And the combo will look so good for your wedding.

As for splurging, I did so with my dress. I could never imagine paying what I did, but I did and I’m happy about it.

So when do we get to see them with the dress?? I love the idea of yellow shoes! A friend of mine had a shorter dress and went with red peep toes, which added major drama. But I like the yellow better - it’s sweeter and more romantic than red.

My splurge was my dress, too, @TheFutureMcBride. Thankfully, I found it a year and half before my wedding, so I have time to save up for the extra bit of budget that I blew. :)

love them. :) i think the splurge was totally worth it since you can totally rock your “wedding shoes” and “wedding bag” again and again after the wedding!

The best thing about amazing wedding shoes is that you can totally wear them AFTER the wedding and be reminded of your wedding day! I’ve worn mine a few times, and it is fun to be able to bring a little of your wedding (other than your rings of course) into your everyday life!

do all KS stores give a student discount? I never knew! With how much money I’ve spent there in the past couple of months I wish I had known about that!
