Wedding shoes. To splurge, or not to splurge



Ever since I decided which wedding gown I'm wearing, I've been on a search for either teal heels or ivory lace heels. I found no teal heels, so I bought a pair of $45 heels from Calista (Thanks for the tip, Allysa & Lynette!) which at the time, I really liked. There's no return policy, so I have to keep them no matter what. They are a champagne glittery color with many rhinestones on the front part that goes over my toes. I thought I was all set on my shoes, until I went shoe shopping at Nordstrom with a couple of my girls.

I came across a to-die-for pair of teal Badgley Mischkas. Now I'm not a shoe-lover, nor am I swayed by fancy brand names. This shoe is beautiful in it's own right. The only issue is that it's about $150 with my bridesmaid's bf's discount. I went on Zappos to see if they were offered, which they are, at retail price. Then I saw a taller pair of a similar shoe that was also offered and I love that one too! Haha, now I'm not going to get both pairs of Badgley Mischkas, but I'm just trying to decide if it's worth it to get even one of them. I plan to wear them again after the wedding as teal is quickly becoming one of my favorite colors. However, I've never spent over $20 for shoes. I'm a frugal girl when it comes to clothes and shoes and it's greatly conflicting me to spend SO much on shoes.

Oh, and before my teal lovelies were discovered, I'd really been eyeing out this pair of lace Chinese Laundry heels from Zappos too. (sigh) such difficult decisions. :P
