blue shoes

[lulu66]

ok, i don''t have a dress yet. but i do know i want blue shoes to wear under my dress. my "dream" shoe is j.crew augusta; however they are sold out on their website. i''ve searched the internet but haven''t found any that compare that would be in my price range (around $100). today i was out shopping & came across these nine west shoes. but i can''t decide: are they dressy enough? i found a great price (under $20), so should i go ahead and get them or hold out? i mean, i don''t even have a dress yet! talk some sense into me, ladies! here they are attached, light blue suede nine west shows

Cute!! I think they''d be dressy enough for me, but I don''t know what you have planned for your dress/venue! And for under $20, wow, can''t beat that! You could always get them and try them out around the house and if you change your mind, send them back?

do you have a max mara outlet by you? if so it might be worth a trip! i was in one in NY recently and they had the most gorgeous tall blue satin shoes.

lulu66! i just looked up the j.crew augusta and i love those shoes! they are awesome. do you have time to wait until they come back in stock? they are really pretty. i like your other choice too but i think you should get the shoes you have your heart set on

 

[lulu66]

cocolaw unfortunately, the the boondocks of KY no max mara anywhere near by; but thanks for the suggestion!

dani2142 aren''t they the greatest?! i don''t know if they are just out of stock or discontinued. is there anyway to know for sure?

i do have LOTS of time till the wedding, so i don''t think i''m going to jump the gun. i don''t

the nine west ones & i don''t think i''d wear them any other time or else i''d go ahead and pick them up. so, i''ll wait & hope for some light blue satin shoes w/a bow

[lulu66]

just got an email back saying that they are part of the final sale and will not be restocked.

i''m crying over here

those are totally my dress shoes--no matter what dress i where! anyone have any ideas?? something similar?

 

[ice-queen]

I don't know what size you wear, but there are two pairs on ebay right now (sizes 9 & 9.5). These shoes are beautiful- keep checking ebay!

 

[Deelight]

Hun I saw the shoes you were after I am sure you can find something similar I just did some quick searches

Theser are really cute and blue I love the flowers blue with flowers

If your open to red I think these are lovely Cute red shoes with a bow


blue with a bow blue with a bow

These are nice White with a bow


I would wear these you may however think they are ugly not blue but beautiful


Your perfect shoes are out there

 

[ice-queen]

These are cute too! Betsey Johnson- Gemma

 

[FrekeChild]

I have the Betsey Johnson Gemma shoes. They are gorgeous in real life, but the patent around the fabric''s edges are iridescent. Which I loved, but it doesn''t show up in the picture, so I wanted to make sure you knew about it if you like those.

One note about the original shoes. I noticed that they are actually leather, although they look like they are suede.

When is your wedding? I''d say if it''s in the next 6 months or so, start looking for shoes now (I loved the Augustas too) but if you''re a year out, I''d think about waiting until Spring, because I''m betting that J Crew (and probably other companies) will be putting out pretty lighter blue shoes then. However, should you see a pair that you love, even this far in advance, GRAB THEM!

(I bought my first pair of wedding shoes the week before we even got engaged. But I''m weird.)

 

[lulu66]

thanks for all the suggestions, everyone! i still have a year, so thanks for the advice to wait till spring freke! and i''m not a 9 or 9.5, sad day ice-queen

i''ll keep checking ebay though! i''ll just keep waiting hoping the perfect ones come along!
deelight, thanks for all your suggestions too!!
