I've had a very whirlwind week! I went on Monday to get my shoes. I saved up for months and decided to splurge on Christian Louboutins. I chose a classic nude peep toe with a low heel, not very bride or wedding. I figured no one will even really see them under my dress and I could get tons of use out of them after the wedding. I made a trip to the store, found the employees to be snotty and they kept insisting I get a size smaller than I was trying on. Well, I should have trusted my instincts and walked out of the store, but I let myself get caught up in the hype and bought them. The shoes are GARBAGE. The fit is awful on all of them; they squeeze, pinch and rub everywhere. I figured I'd have to "break them in." What I didn't anticipate was just how quickly they are getting marked, scuffed and destroyed. The red is already rubbing off the bottoms and that's just from trying to break them in a little inside my house on carpetting which means I don't think I would even be able to exchange them because they look worn.
So, I bring the shoes today for my first fitting. The fitting was 2 hours long and my feet were numb by the end. It looks like I'm going to just end up wearing a pair of shoes I already have in my closet that are super comfortable. The good news - my dress is perfect!! I was so worried, but once I had it on today it just felt right and made me cry. It was a little tight in the ribs and very heavy to wear but overall, I'm finally feeling like I made the right decision. At least it looks good. ( Now maybe I can stop having late night panicked moments where I look at other dresses.) The best part of it all was feeling like a bride and having this wedding really start to become a reality!
How's everyone else doing with attire issues?
