Shoes

So today I attempted to find the perfect pair of shoes to wear on my wedding day....this was my 3rd attempt. I must confess that I absolutely HATE shoe shopping. This is for 2 reasons: 1. I wear a size 7 and have extremely narrow feet. This means that most shoes do not fit my feet. If they are narrow enough they are usually too small and too wide if they are long enough. 2. I cannot walk in heels. I have tried to learn, I really have, walked around the living room and read extensive articles about the art of walking in heels. The problem is that I am extremely clumsy and have very little balance standing flat foot. This is also the reason that I do yoga in my home from a video and not at a gym or yoga place...but I digress. Back to shoes...so I can wear a small heel and by small I mean 1 inch or less. The quest to find wedding shoes is also slightly complicated because I refuse to wear plain white shoes despite my mother and josh's requests! I also will be spending the entire day in these shoes...this IS a Mexican wedding...so they need to be somewhat comfortable, or at least tolerable for 9 hours. Also since there will be lots of dancing I don't want sandals or open-toe shoes. I learned from my quinceanerra that my toes need a little protection from my drunk relatives! :p My mom and I found a SUPER cute pair of sparkly shoes a few weeks ago. The problem is that they are flats and so when I put them on with my dress, my dress dragged on the floor and I tripped. Not really the way I want to walk down the aisle. So there you have it, I need shoes with a small heel, covered toe, not plain white (or black or beige), cute, size 7, narrow, and comfortable. Now is that really too much to ask for? I think I might have found a pair, after going to about 8 stores. I showed them to Josh and he said "you are such a hippie." I hope they work...mom will be up next weekend and I will try the shoes with the dress then for my bridal pics. Keeping my fingers crossed.
