Ok, I know you are all a resourceful bunch, and like a good challenge. I am trying to find the perfect shoe, and apparently I am a little picky. I also hate not being able to try things on, but alas, I think my best options are online.
Here is what I THINK I am looking for in my ideal shoe:
- low heel; I got my dress tailored to barefoot height and the woman suggested I get no more than a 1" heel
- i am trying to avoid the flip-flop style with the part between the toes, because that part always bugs me after a while. i was hoping for some slide-on shoes, but could be flexible here!
- no ankle straps!
- my dress is ivory w/silver accents (threading & sequins), and an embroidery type detail - see below for picture
- I do want to keep it somewhat simple - but yet I don't want boring, I just keep thinking of the cool shots Leigh could get if I had some fun shoes!
- I definitely like the antique look if i go w/any jewels on the shoe, but ...
- I am also considering incorporating some blue (a subtle aqua) into the shoe if i found the right one - here is a sample of some blue crystals/gems and styles I do like (just make them into a shoe!)
(these might be cute if they were real shoes, and more "antiquey" and a lower heel)
Here are some styles I like, but they're not right in other ways:
These are really cute - but might be too high:
The store provided a sample of my dress, and here is the detailing
Whew, I think I need to go to bed now. Post your ideas please - and I will be forever grateful!
