Imelda Marcos is a Filipino politician. Her husband was President of the Philippines and when he was kicked out of office, they fled the country. She left behind in the palace,
2,700 pairs of shoes!
Growing up, my mom always called me Imelda Marcos, because of my love for shoes. There was one year (yes I mean a whole year) where I went shopping almost every weekend and when I went, it wasn't a successful trip unless I purchased something for my feet. I had soooo many shoes (but not as many as Imelda). I have since realized the comfort over fashion, but I still long for beautiful shoes.
Naturally, when planning the wedding, my shoes were near the top of my list. When in high school, the style of heels ladies were wearing were my all time favorite. Unfortunately, the heel styles now basically disgust me. I get a terrible feeling in my stomach just thinking about wearing shoes with heels such as these:
I know you fashionistas out there are shaking your head at me, but I can't bring myself to do it. Also, I have a big problem with wearing pointy toe shoes. I wear size 10 people. I don't need any extra length added to my feet!
Going along with the color scheme of our wedding, I knew I wanted to wear red shoes. Lets face it, I own 4 pairs of red pumps, but a girl needs options! But, I couldn't wear just ANY color red. It had to be THE red. So I searched the internet for my options:
I jest with the first two, but the shoe above still leaves me desiring some fancy. If you'd like a laugh, i suggest googling red high heel shoe images. Hilarious!
This one is beautiful, but I don't care for platform shoes, so I have to say no.
Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner! This shoe has the elegance and the fancy I want. I can wear this shoe over and over again. The heel isn't too high so my feet won't be screaming. AND the red, is perfect! A bonus: $50 from DSW. Can we say BARGAIN?
Check! One down ... a million more to go!
Are you going to sport colored shoes?
