AND NOW I FOUND THE SHOES!







So the other day, I went shopping for shoes to compliment the perfect dress. I found a pair of crimson red plastic shoes that were flat with an elastic band on the top. They were $40, which is a bit much for the quality of the terribly uncomforable shoe. The only thing was they were exactly the color red that I want throughout the rest of the wedding/reception. I didn't like them much but figured I couldn't find anything better. So I was bemoaning the fact that I could be stuck w/ a no good pair of shoes that fold in half when I take them off. Isn't that a bad thing?!
Then, one day, I was shopping with my other brain (Joycie) and she let me walk into a shoe store that was having a sale. I wasn't very hopeful to find better shoes, but looked any ways. It was a bit fruitful in the beginning. Then I saw these little gems that you see above, and fell deeply in love with them! I tried them on first as a joke, but was shocked at how well they fit me and were exactly the shape I wanted. The fact that they are leopard print only adds to the Vintage Hollywood theme I want at the wedding!
I pretty much love them, but wouldn't mind hearing what you think. Your opinion matters and will help me validate my adoration for the entire outfit.
ONE MORE QUESTION I have for you, though. I was originally planning on having a plain shoe and wearing aread flower in my hair, but now with this pattern, I think that's too much. I want a flower(s) in my hair, but am not sure what plain, off white flower would still give the vintage feel I'm looking for. I was thinking Dogwood (like Ashely Judd at her wedding in "De lovely").
In put and suggestions would be greatly appreciated

This is the dress with no makeup and my messy hair!






I FOUND THE DRESS!!!!

As you will see from the above pictures, I've found the dress OF THE MILLENNIUM!! The dress that when I tried it on, the Heavens opened up and cherubic choirs sung their approval. It needs to be tailored a bit so I'm not hanging out and it's got a great deal of stains, but that all can be fixed and I can rock it down the isle!!

*Cry of Triumph!*
