Update to the Shoe Fiasco

The Heart Gala was last Saturday, and as you may have read I was having quite the shoe fiasco.  I bought a super cute dress with which sage/ light green/ lime shoes would have looked awesome.  After searching every local shoe store, I ordered shoes online from Zappos.com.... and I hated them  :(

In Zappos defence, the shoes were the size I ordered, the shipping was free and they were delivered within the 3-4 days as promised.  But when I opened the box I found that the shoes were really a more odd yellow than lime green, which didn't really match, and I probably could have used a half a size smaller.  Even with those changes, they were just not all that I had hoped for.  So in sheer desperation, I.... just bought a different dress.



Which in the end probably worked out better anyway.  The dress was on sale, I already had shoes to match and to top it off, I found out the theme of the Gala was "A Black and Gold Evening" so my dress was a hit!  The Gala was super fun this year.  Tim did a great job as Co-Chair of the event, lots of younger couples we knew came and we even got to go out afterward to watch the UNI game (not so great ending to that, but you can't win them all).  So now the question is, do I return the other dress, which I still really love, or do I continue to search for shoes in hopes to be able to wear it to a wedding or something in the future?  Oh the drama...

  3. Yeah, that was my opinion too! You know I am going to find shoes when I am not looking and then I'm not going to have anything to wear the dress to... but that's just my luck :) We will go on a fancy date then, cause I'm wearing that dress somewhere!
