Since purchasing my wedding dress waaaay back in March, I've been on the look out for the perfect pair of wedding shoes. A long time ago before I even got engaged, I saw a picture on The Preppy Wedding of the most perfect wedding shoe EVER. Meet the J. Crew Big Bow heel: white dye-able satin, with a big flat preppy bow on it, and a nice low heel!
Sadly, J. Crew stocked this shoe so long ago and it was so popular, it no longer existed by the time this girl was in the market for white dye-able shoes. Boo. I cruise e-Bay for it occasionally, but no luck yet.
So with the perfect preppy shoes out, I decided I wanted blue shoes! Haven't much luck with shoes the perfect shade of blue either. Still contemplating dye-ables, but I'm not crazy about the styles.
On Zappos today, this little number caught my eye:

One of the fringe benefits of having bought a dress on the cheap is it makes it really difficult to rationalize crazy wedding purchases. Example, in a world were the wedding budget had no limit, these would be my shoes of choice:

A couple other shoes I've considered are these two pairs of flats from Blue Tux:

The Elise, above, is the closest thing I've seen to my dreamy J. Crew shoes. Pro: They are dye-able so I could have blue shoes AND shoes with a bow! Con: They might be a little too flat, I think my dress needs me to have a smidge of height above my 5' 6". Also they're pretty pricey as they fall in the $100 range. This would definitely be a splurge.
Below are the Sophie also from Blue Tux. Adorable right? Pro: BOWS! Love the bows. Con: Even flatter than the Elise...and maybe a little flower girly?
