Today's Dilemma
Thursday, March 26, 2009
Lately I have realized that I have been putting off making decisions about my attire, beyond the dress, on the day of the wedding. It is time to buckle down.
I know I want Navy shoes. For a long time, I have wanted THESE Navy shoes:
This is the Kate Spade Gali Shoe. I have loved them for a long time.
Sadly, they are still $351.00.
The green ones have gone down in price, but of course, not the blue.
I have a hard time rationalizing this purchase, even though I love them so much - but when else in life will I be able to rationalize this price on shoes?? All of the comments say how comfortable they are, and that they also ordered them for their weddings (in white and ivory, mostly). Even the fiance has sanctioned the purchase...so why do I still hesitate? (Probably because I have an ongoing wedding budget in my head).
The Nicolette strappy heel.
These babies are $188.00, but there are promos often enough which could make them an even better deal. They are a quarter of an inch higher than the Kate Spade's...which may make a difference in a 12+ hour day. But, I may be able to get more use out of them after the wedding.
There are also some more options on Zappos, mostly from a brand 'rsvp' that all range from $65.00-$79.00. They are cute, but the reviews don't seem to be that great regarding comfort...and they are all something that I feel like I would buy for any-day wear. I don't know that they would make me feel all that 'bridal'.
So here is the dilemma - do I go with the dreamy bridal shoes, the practical midrange, or the cute, but not comfortable, affordables? (I feel a little like those people on House Hunters must, when the host boils their choices down to select catch phrases).
P.S. I could also always order them all and see what I like best in person? Who has ordered from Zappos?
