Way back in the day, I was having some issues deciding on shoes. Because I am oh-so-indecisive. I just couldn’t get my ish together. Same old, same old. Well, really, I just couldn’t stop thinking about these lovelies.

{Kate Spade}

Hello there, beautiful.

They were expensive, but I just could not stop thinking about the bows! And the sparkles! And the pretty slate-grey! And the square, ballerina-slipper-esque toe! Like Cinderella shoes, but cooler.

Anyway, in the happiest of coinkydinks, Kate Spade ended up having a ridoncadonc sale the weekend of my birthday, and Mr. CA, being the sweetheart that he is, decided he wanted to get me these shoes for the reception. (Because we can’t stop thinking about/talking about/ dreaming about/ breathing the wedding in these here parts.) Isn’t he sweet? Really, I think he just got sick of hearing me gush about them. Or, maybe he was tired of driving me to the Kate Spade store and having to watch me stand outside the window, gazing longingly at them inside. I mean, um, no, I didn’t ever do that. And, because the sale was so amazing, he only had to promise up our firstborn child, rather than the first two. What a deal!

Mmm, stripes.

Needless to say, I was quite excited to open them and get those babies on mah feet. Let’s be honest, they do give me a bit of toe-cleavage. But I’ve come to terms with that. My dress is long enough to cover them, really, and if anyone gets a glimpse, they will be razzle-dazzled by the bows and the sequins, and won’t notice my immodest cleavage.

Box within a box.

As per usual, I am obsessed with these shoes. The bottoms are super-smooth, and I slide around on our carpeted floor, so I’m going to need to break them in before the big day. They need a good knifing, perhaps? And let me tell you, I have been so tempted to wear these out and about, particularly since it’s getting nice and sunny. Toe-cleavage be damned - these beauties need to see the light of day! Dang it.

Oh, you want to see them?

Clearly, I love the bows.

Yes, Hive. You have now seen my lack of a badonkadonk. You’re welcome. Happy Friday.

Yummy - blurry toe-cleavage. The best kind.

Obviously, I love them, and I am way too excited to wear these shoes out onto the dance floor. I want the wedding to be here now!! They will just have to wait, I suppose (although I might be wearing them as I type this. Maybe).

Did you get an item of attire gifted to you unexpectedly? Are you planning on wearing different shoes for the ceremony and reception?
