If the shoes fit, is it worth it?

[2011.07.29]

I've bought my dress! It wasn't cheap but I think believe that it's worth it. Which then leads us to the next question, what about the shoes?

I've somehow picked some pretty expensive shoes as contenders. Oh Kate Spade, why are your shoes so cute?!  Could I really justify spending over $100 on wedding shoes?

Contender 1: Kate Spade Clarice

The gold heel captured me at first glance. My dress is ivory so this colour is perfect, with that extra splash of glam and uniqueness that I am looking for. Too bad the price tag has also got an extra glam to it. $325 for a pair of shoes, OUCH.

These two are the same colour - old gold. The only difference is the pearl beading's colour. I am leaning towards the colourful beads, but the white ones are probably more classic. I've also read that the studs at the end of the pearl beads might cause a problem during the wear. Hm. I guess that's another thing to consider. These are cheaper though! $215, a whole $100!

What do you think?

If the shoes fit the bill, is it worth splurging to get the wedding shoes of your dreams?

Love always,
