check it off the list
I *FINALLY* bought shoes for the wedding.
I haven't gotten them yet - just ordered them tonight, and they have to be shipped to my sister-in-law in Michigan, but other than that, they're gorgeous.
Typical woman that I am (yes, I know), I solved the quandary of appropriate shoes by buying two pairs. Just in case the second pair gets vetoed for any reason. If you are female you understand my reasoning perfectly.
The first pair is just for show, really, something to appease the grandmothers should they show signs of having a coronary:
They're really nice, and simple, and they were only $90. I can wear them with pretty much anything later, and Ralph Lauren is a respectable brand. They're also made of kid, apparently. Not the children kid. The lamb kid. Which isn't any better, I suppose . . .
But I wanted something a bit more expressive of my personality. A bit more me. A bit more . . . blue. And retro. And funky. I just needed to find it. I gathered a panel (seems I do that a lot these days) of my bridesmaids and some other girls I know (most of the girls I know) and sent them link after link after link after link. Then tonight I saw them and I knew that they were the ones. It was kind of the same feeling I got with my wedding dress - I didn't really know that it was exactly what I wanted until I saw it. And then it all made sense.
Ready? Brace yourselves.
EEEEEEEEEEEEE.
And they were only $30!
Now - the question is, will they go with my dress?
Ah, who cares at this point?
115 days and counting!

And what happened to flat shoes missy???
Posted by: Chelle at April 29, 2009 11:37 PMI had two pairs too, one pair for the wedding that looked great but were way to uncomfortable, and a second pair that looked ok but were very comfortable. The second pair I wore to the reception and dinner.
Ally, I can't help but use your blog to tell Chelle that I miss her posts on Rebellious! I've been following her site since her days of posting about Buffy. If she's got a new blog can you let me know the address? I found your site from comments you posted, and now I read your site too. Thanks!
Posted by: Ronda at April 30, 2009 12:26 AMLOVE both of them!! I am going to get blue shoes for my wedding too - go blue!
Posted by: Liz at April 30, 2009 09:55 AMChelle - Cait and Lisa browbeat my mother into telling me to wear heels. Luckily these ones are small so they should be fine.
Ronda - Nice to hear from you. I've been trying to get Chelle to post again but she hasn't. So maybe if it's two against one it'll be a more successful attack.
Liz - I know, right?
Posted by: Alio at April 30, 2009 10:36 AMRona - Hi there! Unfortunately some things had happened with both my work and my personal life that pretty much prevented me from posting on my blog. It was serious enough, and scary enough, that I just stopped entirely. I have considered picking up posting again, but the sad fact is that aside from World of Warcraft (nobody laugh!) and soccer, I really don't DO much else with my time anymore. I also find the name of the blog completely irrelevant and possibly laughworthy at this stage in my life as well. So that's an added deterent. :(
Posted by: Chelle at April 30, 2009 11:22 AMSo do a NEW one.
It's not like I do anything exciting, but 601 posts later, here I still am . . .
I miss your posts, Chelleybean. I like it when you swear at things that annoy you.
Change the name to www.blondebomber.com
Posted by: Alio at April 30, 2009 05:12 PMI love these ones and I'm glad you found some that you love!!! Hahaha so many links...
The blue ones are seriously wicked. I can't believe you found a pair like that... when you showed us the retro shoes from that photographer's web site I thought it would be impossible to find something like that... but your sleuthing skillz are so strong that you managed. Remind me never to try and hide anything from you on the internet...
Posted by: Jess at May 1, 2009 01:12 PMyes Chelle, please do a new blog! I know this sounds so crazy that a girl from Texas finds your life interesting, but I do! At least tell me if you got that job, or left the bank, or what! And I hope things are well with Mike too.
Ronda

I'm considering a new blog... but it may be a fleeting notion.
