I Put Some New Shoes On And Suddenly Everything Is Right

I am not a very good shopper. I do not enjoy shopping. I am an efficient shopper - I'm in, I'm out. No faffing. Shopping is not a hobby of mine.

I have been looking for wedding shoes for months. I had something very particular in mind. I wanted red shoes (but not hooker red) high heels (but not too high) with a strap. I wanted these but in red (though I would have taken these as my second choice.) I own them in black and they are the most comfortable heels I own. When I bought mine (about a year ago) they came in red also and I am kicking myself for not buying them. Anyway, I could not find red shoes that I liked anywhere. Yesterday Turtle and I spent 5 hours looking for shoes at the busiest (and largest) mall in BC. It was my own little version of Hell. However, eleventy million hours and (no exaggeration) at least 12 shoe stores later - we were victorious.


I gave up the idea of red shoes about halfway through the day. My only criteria was that they fit and not be boring. Two things I think I accomplished. I'm going to give them a test run this week and hopefully my feet don't end up too mangled.

I'm thinking the granite countertop was not the best background for the photos - sorry!

I was so happy that we were finally done shoe shopping that I splurged and bought myself these:

My excuse is that they're my "reception" shoes (in case the heels get too uncomfortable.) Love them. I have them on right now and they are so comfortable.
