Shoe help

jojobrn

So, after a marathon session at the mall last night, trying on close to 40 dresses, starting to feel defeated because nothing was fitting, Banana Republic saved me. I finally, finally found a dress to wear for Baby Bean's baptisim on Sunday.

And of course it isn't online, so use your imagination!

The material is ponte, similar to this color: http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=50129&vid=1&pid=326715032

With a faux type of wrap looking top as well. but with an empire type waist line and sheath silhouette like this: http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=50129&vid=1&pid=326348002

I wasn't able to hit up any brick and mortar stores for shoes yet, maybe won't have time at all, so I've been looking on Zappos, and have hit a wall. I think I'd like a nude, peep toe, low wedge heel. Which doesn't seem to exist. Any other ideas? Needs to be in a size 11 too, which complicates things.

Do you shop Barefoot Tess at all?

http://www.barefoottess.com/

(Don't pay full price. They regularly have 20% or 35% off codes floating around, often on their FB page.)

I also have a surprising amount of luck at payless.com (which usually translates to in-store. You wouldn't have time to ship from them before Sunday. For that, you're looking at Zappos only.)

Were you looking for canvas? Leather? Patent leather? For the wedge part, do you want the same fabric as the upper, or is cork or straw weave OK? Price point? (I did see some on Zappos, but they are Cole Haan, so $160-$170. But probably really comfortable and justifiable if you would wear them a whole lot.)

No canvas or straw/cork, etc. the closest shoe I've found to what I was thinking is this:  http://www.zappos.com/calvin-klein-parisa-adobe-patent

Which I may get, but I was hoping for a wedge type because I'd get more wear out of them for when/if I teach this summer, lots of walking. Over 150 is too much, trying to stay under 100.

how high of a heel?

ok, after seeing the shoes you actually like, i am guessing these are too much bedazzle? i would wear these (and they come in 11):

Those boots are awesome Wzz.  Actually I really like those White Mountain wedges.  I have a pair of black sandals in that brand and I love them.  Extremely comfortable and they have worn well.  I wear them all summer long.

Wzz

i think they are very pretty. they'd also make a great spring/summer shoe to wear with everything.

i love the teal wedges i posted, but they are a much different shoe than all the others. those are the ones i'd go with.

i have enough shoes.

The teal ones are really pretty, but I'd never get use out of them.  I REALLY want those white ones though.

these may be too high for you, but should be comfortable withthe wedge and platform.

maybe even throw in some yellow:

 (in the brown  or canary)

NMS, but lower heel:

similar to #3 but may be too casual:

also NMS:

http://www.zappos.com/christin-michaels-zofia-sand-patent

totally different direction here - go colorful - yellow, green, pink, etc.:
