Shoes – Splurge or Save? SAVE! |

Remember those shoes I showed you in my last post, well, Moon Dude and I were in NYC for a day and just so happened *wink* to walk past the Christian Louboutin boutique on Madison. So he and I stopped in, much to my excitement. And while they didn’t have those fabulous favorites I shared with you in my previous post in the proper purple color, I tried them on in another color as well as another beautiful pair that DID. While neither of them would realistically become a wedding day shoe option (despite Dogwood Bud’s tempting alternatives offered in the comments section), they were fun to try on! I’m not a typical boutique shopper, so it was fun to “pretend” for the day. Check out the kicks pics below!

To be honest, I could barely walk in them, they were far from comfortable, and they cost about the same as I earn in an entire month (not joking). Realistically these are just not intended to be my wedding shoes. Practically speaking, they would just NOT work for a beach wedding on a pier (you know those holes between the wooden planks would just be CALLING for the stiletto heals).
However good news is coming. I found a FABULOUS pair of cheapos that I bought online awhile back that I found in my closet that have NEVER been worn! With a touch of DIY, I see a fabulous budget friendly alternative, that (to me) will be just as pretty (and much more comfy). So to check in on my “splurge or save” dilemma, the winner was most definitely “save” and I couldn’t be more pleased with my decision. Stay tuned for pics of the winning shoe!

Nice shoes!!! If you don’t want to spend the $$$, you could go to one of those vendors off Canal Street in NYC. They’ll take you into the back to show you shoes and purses that would normally cost $3K, but only for $30-$70.
The only thing I spend $3K on is cheese!
