Then February came, and along with it came the realization that we are four months away from The Big Day. Translation? It's time to Get Shit Done. I arose from the couch, shook off my protective cover of fuzzy blankets and Vicks Vapo-Rub and... walked over to the computer to surf Etsy for bridesmaids gifts. Hey, it's a start!
One good thing about January, though - my wedding shoes came in! After the DSW glittery dream shoes didn't work out, I bit the bullet and placed a custom order with Shoes of Prey. I had to face facts - my giantess feet just weren't going to slip into one of Cinderella's glass slippers. Even though I was nervous about dropping nearly three bills on some shoes, going the custom route was my only hope. I went to Shoes of Prey's website, designed something awesome and sent my order off with fingers crossed.
Within a week or two, I opened my email to find a picture of these gorgeous creatures, along with a note telling me that my shoes were on their way! I counted down the days until they arrived, sparing no chance to bug my office receptionist about whether my package had arrived. ("Bernard? Are they here yet? Are they here yet, Bernard?!")
"Your damn shoes are here, okay? So you can stop asking me now!" |
The icing on the cake was the photograph, seen above, that Shoes of Prey actually prints out and tucks into your shoe box. Mine is currently posted on my bulletin board at work, so I can gaze at Shoes whenever I want.
My thoughts exactly!
Those shoes are beautiful, and what a fantastic website! You've now provided me with a new Shoe-Dream, for when I win the lottery! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat size heels did you go for? I played on the app and the mid-heels never looked quite as elegant to me as the high heels in the illustration, but yours are lovely!
Aww, thanks! I totally adore them. I got a 3 1/2" stiletto heel with the platform in the front. They are super comfy, and while I agree that the 4 1/2" heels look even better, I think I'll appreciate the shorter ones on my wedding day. They are so worth the splurge! :)
ReplyDelete"Matt, open up that wallet...right this very minute. Mommy needs a new pair of shoes!!" They are awesome. You're the best. We will see you soon :)
