The Shoes I Choose

The Shoes I Choose

You may remember, not so long ago, I was all up in the air over which shoes to wear to complete my wedding-day look. I figured I had time, as I had not selected a dress yet. Well, I still have not selected a dress yet, but I have solved the shoe conundrum. You see, I did not want to pass up the chance to buy a pair of FANTASTIC shoes, but I hadn’t found anything I liked more than these:

I was not 100% sold on the colored-shoes thing, but these were A) pretty, B) comfy, C) already in my closet, and D) closed toe (ish). You see, I am a HUGE fan of back-seam stockings; I think they are the perfect way to be ladylike, but show you have a sassy side as well. I had my mind set that I wanted to wear stockings for my wedding before there was a wedding to plan. That means closed-toe shoes are a must. PLUS, April in Michigan = cold and most likely wet, so no strappy sandals here.

Well, the blue beauties you see above won out. Those are what I will be wearing for the big day. HOWEVER, I did not miss the opportunity to buy new, amazing bridal shoes. Enter the “I Do”:

I could not pass these up. Especially not with a name like “I Do.” So, I ordered them yesterday and am awaiting their arrival. These will serve as my non-wedding bridal shoes (because that’s a thing, right??). I will wear them for showers, and parties, and our pre-Cana classes. I will most certainly rock them out at the rehearsal dinner, and then the morning after at brunch. (Hopefully they will not be dirty by then!)

I am so happy with my plan and both pairs of shoes. Not only have I covered all of my bases, but I will get to be a two-shoe bride! (Maybe three if it rains! Check out my bridal boots!!)

Did you invent a reason to buy extra of something?

Oh, I totally had a non-wedding pair of bridal shoes too! I wore them to my hen night and a few other “wedding” events. Then again, I always invent new reasons to buy shoes.
I love all of your choices!

I’m in love with all your shoes! I remember I was rooting for the “I do’s”. I’m glad you decided to buy them anyway.

All these shoes are awesome! I was hoping you’d choose the blue ones, though.

Wonderful idea! I like how they evoke a similar style as the wedding day shoes. You also just gave me a(nother) reason to buy more shoes :))

You put so much thought into it! I chose shoes because I my eyes glazed over and I was like, ooo preeetty…but I am concerned about things like ohh…being in pain, and walking in grass haha. I love your choices!

What size are your I Do’s? Will you be selling them by any chance. I have scoured the internet for these babies and they are alllll gone except a few size 10’s I posted about these a long time ago…kicking myself for not just ordering them then!
