In the end, who gives a shit about the shoes?


May 6

Hi ESB,

I am looking for a cheap (read: under $120) but cute pair of heels for my wedding in June. Everywhere I look are freaky platforms and too many straps to count. I don't want to look like a gladiator on my wedding day. My legs are too short (5'2") for that.

Please tell me who is selling cute shoes (pumps? something that makes my legs look a lil' longer?) that aren't satin-y or gross.

p.s. I really despise all the "evening" shoes I see out there that have one tiny strap to hold the whole damn thing on. I will likely break my ankle in an apparatus like that.


THANKS!

Hey, thanks for getting back to me.

No gladiator shoes. Sale shoes from Macy's that the hubs picked out...pretty uneventful, fashion-wise: sling backs, peep toe. Hid the mud somewhat okay
when my heels sunk into the wet grass. Boogie-able when we had our 8-piece all-girl MoTown band playing.


It was rad and delightful and I think there is post-wedding depression akin to post-partum. I'm calling it post-partyin' depression.

IT WAS AWESOME.













TOTALLY. AWESOME.
