Yipii, my shoes! (I hope...)

[choro72]

So, I ordered my shoes! Splurged more than I was planning to, but I figured it''s not white, so I may wear them again

They match our wedding better than I thought! The color is called Dark Champagne, and they seem sort of pink on the stock photo online.

But they are actually more gold than pink, which is perfect for our Lord of the Rings theme

I was originally looking for a white pair, but after seeing all the ps bride''s shoes it I realize that it doesn''t have to be white.

I am so in love with this cute heart sparkly detail! Maybe I should put sapphires in them...

Front tie detail. Dark Champagne satin.

Hot pink back! Whoohoo! Now if I can only keep it clean...

Last pic showing criss cross back. I adore them!
The problem is that these are 5" heels. They might be too high for my dress. I heard that it''s better to have the wedding dress 1" above the ground, but I''m not sure how high the hem is going fall. My dress is at FI''s place (he doesn''t care, so he doesn''t peek

), so I have to wait until this weekend to try them on with the dress.

Porridge and Deelight thanks!
mayachel and kama s, hahaha, honestly I thought they were so cute that I wasn't expecting a "they're sexy" comment! I'm so glad they're cute AND sexy

FI will drool.
sunnyd, thanks! The camera pictures show more pink than there really is, but I love them either way.
honny22, I've never had bottoms in sharp colors. I'll have to make sure that I show them off.
Freke, YAY! A thumbs up from Freke! I am now officially a good judge of shoe style! Honestly, I didn't know anything about shoes until your collection thread a while back

The shoes are AMAZING! How do they feel?

redfaerythinker, (Your avatar is so cute!) thanks

I''m not a pink person, but this one makes it stand out

Definitely, Maybe and bee, thanks! I hope I can wear them again.
AmberGretchen thanks, Zappos is awesome!
parrot tulips, they actually don''t feel higher than some of my boots because the front is quite thick. I''ve always bought my shoes from payless, and this is the first time I''ve purchased myself a *real* pair of shoes. WOWZA

So this is the difference between good shoes and cheap shoes...There is so much padding it''s crazy! I''ll have to wear them for hours to see if they really are comfortable, but as of yesterday they felt so soft! And this is at $53...I can''t imagine how well constructed $300 shoes are.

Choro, you''re adorable!

And I don''t remember if I''ve commented on it anywhere, but I love your w-band!!!!!
