{Can’t Afford It/Get Over It} Curing Your ‘Something Blues’ with Shoes
This week is all about curing a case of the ‘Something Blues’ with a beautiful pair of bridal shoes! Bride Beth wrote in asking for help finding her ‘something blue’ in shoe form after the price tag on a pair of Badgley Mischka pumps made her blue:
Hi,
I have been searching for the PERFECT something blue wedding shoes for months now. Those that know me well call me the shoe diva (much to my embarrassment). I am absolutely in LOVE with these shoes by Badgley Mishka–actually with almost all of their shoes–but I simply can’t afford $200 shoes. Can you help?
Can’t Afford It:
Get Over It:
The Secret Weapon: Shoe Clips!
Etsy.com has an enormous selection of shoe clips. Sellers showcase everything from flowers to feathers for all your shoe bedazzling needs. So if you see a pair of Get Over It shoes you like below, but they don’t showcase a flower like the Badgley Mischka’s, then head to Etsy to find your feet the perfect flair. Here’s a few that I adore from seller Fink Shop:
$18.99/pair, sold here
Or at Ban.do they have sequined hearts, poms, bows and more in shoe clip form!
1. Enzo Angiolini. $91.70.
2. Nina. $89.95.
3. Carlos Santana. $43.45.
4. Pella Moda. $74.22.

I searched high and low for blue wedding shoes, and found that alot were too dark/borderline navy or too bright/turquoise. The BM blue really is just the right shade of medium blue so I ended up getting those. But I like the shoe clip suggestion, too.
The Badgley Mischka for $99.90 is absolutely gorgeous. I simply love it!!!
Don't forget to pack your shoe clips for the honeymoon!

Still 100% in love with those heart clips from Ban.do. However, those Glint shoes are amazing.
The dark blue Glints are fabu! Wish the blue In using in my wedding was darker now so I could get them ha! I love the bright colored heels peaking out in wedding photos…it’s great.

I love the first pair. I'm wearing this pair of navy shoes: http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?…
Thanks SO much! I'm definitly getting a pair of the glint shoes! You've saved my broke ass feet from the embarassment of ugly shoes!
I was with you on this. $200 is too much for these shoes but I stalked them and eventually they went on sale for 99.99 at Nordstrom's!
The original BM ones are 89.99 today on ideeli.com.
