Shoe Sale!!

Today, I went on a frantic search for shoes. I've been looking for shoes for the wedding for months now. I've looked at so many shoes, I've grown tired of looking at shoes. Never thought that could happen... I love shoes ... love looking at them, trying them on, talking about them...
So the reason I was frantically looking today is this - I just wanted it to be over! I had a few requirements: (1) heel height no less than 4" because my dress can't be hemmed easily, (2) d'orsay or peep toe style (3) ivory, silver or purple in color.
Today, I visited DSW with no luck - I only found strappy sandals in the right color & height. I was on my way to the Cherry Creek shopping center when I realized I didn't want to deal with the "rich" mall. Instead I went to Town Center at Aurora. I really don't love that mall, but they have a Macy's and I felt like making a trip to Macy's. That ended up being a bust so I decided to wander around. Dillards was having a big sale - 40% off already reduced prices. I really didn't expect to find anything, so imagine my surprise when I saw these:

The front
And from the side

I know, they aren't the right color... those are blue, not ivory or silver or purple. But they met the first two (and IMO more important) criteria. And the price was right. With tax, 20 bucks. They originally retailed at $102 before tax.
Honestly, when I bought them, I was completely unsure if I loved them. Then later, at the dentist (yeah, weird place for an epiphany), I realized what they reminded me of. . . they're kinda like these:
Yeah, those are the Manolos from the SATC movie.

So, what do you think? Jakob was a bit surprised when I told him I bought blue shoes for the wedding.... The same shoes come in ivory, but at $102, I think I may just go with the blue ones.
