...from buying these shoes for my wedding.

blue, suede, 1940s, satin bow.... $150 plus shipping.

Tell me, "NO, Eeva. BAD girl! Walk away!"

hippie4yahweh · May 2010

I'm not stopping you. Nuh uh no way- those are AWESOME! $150? ......... pricey, not KILLER though- about what I splurged for mine

future-mrs · May 2010

Can't stop you...LOVE them.... DOOOO. IIIIIITTTT.

ledalia · May 2010

$150 is pricey but it's really not THAT bad, you know? If you want them, get them, as long as you are sure they will fit.

snoangel79 · May 2010

Mine were about that price too. It's your wedding!!! Splurge a bit

<div>Exactly! I spent ~$160 for mine (that is $10 MORE than what I paid for my dress, haha!). I say go for it!! It's soo hard to find the perfect wedding shoes.</div>

No help from me either...those are rocking.

latina40299 · May 2010

lol sorry Eeva but I won't stop you,those shoes are way to pretty to say No too !!

homediva · May 2010

Cuuuuute!!!

Oh and you'll totally wear them again - if you wear them only 4 times, that's less than $50 per wear!!

tarafire · May 2010

Mine were $40 because I am cheap. I'd be too scared because what if I didn't like them in person?

Nukke · May 2010

You're all enablers!!!!!!!!! And I love you guys :P

I haven't bought them yet. I'm so torn. I plan on wearing a violet and baby pink fascinator, and dying my crinoline violet. I was planning on wearing violet shoes. Won't navy shoes be too many different colours going on?

Unless I wear navy gloves and a navy/baby pink fascinator, and... no dyed crinoline? blue crinoline? OH, I can't decide! />:C

princess74 · May 2010

Oh, it's so hard putting the whole look together, isn't it? Since there's violet in your hair piece and if you're dying your crinny violet, then you're right, blue shoes would maybe be too much going on. Violet shoes would look better with a violet crinny, IMO!

RobotCake · May 2010

gorgeous shoes! I agree with princess74 though -- it might be too many colors going on if you have violet in your headpiece and crinoline. Can you find shoes like this in violet? that would rock!

polichik · May 2010

I kinda feel like wedding shoes are an OK splurge, especially if you're going to wear them again!

hippie4yahweh · May 2010

I don't think that's too many colors at all- first off, you're not going to be contorting (I'm assuming) or removing your fascinator so people can compare, second- violet and navy are gooooorgeous together!

And third- they're gorgeous shoes, and you're a gorgeous lady, and I'm pretty sure that you can pull off whatever color scheme/ outfit/ anything you want

vintagefix · May 2010

They are beautiful and I don't think the cost is too extravagant! You can definitely wear them again, and again, and again....

weddingspinster · May 2010

Here's a suggestion for you -

Just add a LITTLE bit of blue tulle (or whatever the right fabric name is!) to your crinoline and/or fascinator. That way, it will look like you planned on including blue in your wedding ensemble, all along! BTW, I LOVE those shoes!

thanks guys. I've decided not to get them. I'm really unsure about her sizing. She says theyre size 7.5 to 8, and then in the next sentence says they have a 10.25 inch long interior! That's a huge shoe! And she says the exterior ball width is only 3 inches.

Way too confusing.

If anyone else wants them though (and wants to contact her about her crazy measurements), here is the link:

Waaaaa ... so sorry they didn't work out. They are cute, cute, cute. Who knows? Maybe they'll reappear -- POOF! -- in just your size. They are absolutely gorgeous, though.
