Since I wore my "I'm Giving Up Shoes" from Bianca Arceo-Farina's Bachelorette Party yesterday, I thought it would only be fitting to wear the shoes from her wedding, today!
Now, it might seem as if I still have every single pair of shoes from every single wedding that I have been in, but that would not be the case. I got rid of several pairs that just did not have sufficient heel height right before I moved out of my parents house in December. Thank goodness I did that---or I would have to be wearing some pretty gnarly shoes! (I was not as addicted to heel height back in the day)
These shoes are from DSW and I bought them solely because I needed a pair of "champagne colored, not closed toe, not too high" heels for Bianca's wedding. (no big deal, right?.....as we know from the current "yellow heel" situation, finding a specific pair of shoes is not really my strong suit!) NEvertheless, I found these shoes after much searching at my usual "haunts" (Henry's Shoe Experience, Marshall's, Ross, Nordstrom Rack) but to no avail....my mom ALWAYS suggests DSW. Luckily we have one of those right here in good ole' D-Town at The Landing! And, I totally scored on these "Kelly&Katie" shoes! They are just TO DIE FOR! So adorable---I always get a lot of compliments when I wear them and, similar to my nude pumps from the other day, they pretty much go with anything and everything in my wardrobe. That very fact has made getting dressed for work when wearing these shoes very difficult! With other shoes, their color or heel height (so important) has made the outfits I can wear them with limited. However, these ones go with everything, so I just HAD to try EVERYTHING on in my closet this morning. NOT GOOD. When I left this morning for work, it looked as though my closet threw up on my bed. (gross analogy, right??)
But, it's okay....I'll do anything for fashion! These shoes helped me to navigate my way down the aisle in the beautiful chapel at Loyola Marymount, dance my way into the reception at Park Plaza, and even perform a choreographed "first dance" with the whole bridal party to "Thriller" for the Arceo-Farina Nuptuals. What a fun night! And a super special couple. Bianca and Danny are two of the most awesome, welcoming and kind people I know. I would search for shoes to wear in their wedding a hundred more times because I love them so much.
Here's to always being a Bridesmaid. Awesome.
