Meet Eddy, by Badgley Mischka. At first, I wasn't sure if she and I would be a perfect fit (pun intended). I liked the broach, and the silk overlay thing. But I wasn't so sure about the ankle strap, and I still missed the glamor that only a 4 inch heel could provide.
I ordered the shoe from Zappos. I figured that I had nothing to lose because of their free shipping and great return policy. And than, they came:
I opened the box with bated breath. I honestly wanted them to be perfect, but I was so nervous that they would disappoint me.
I took them out of the box, and stared at them for a good 10 minutes. Did I love them? Were they perfect? I wasn't sure, so I took them for a little photo shoot.
Hmm....they look good from the front. I had to put them on my feet to know for sure. I took them to my usual I-need-to-take-pics-of-my-shoes spot.
This is exactly how Mr. Pudding found me when he got home from work: unshowered, in a dirty sweatshirt, with my sweat pants rolled up, and Badgley Mischka shoes on my feet. I swear I kept them on all evening, trying to decide whether or not I liked them.
I had to admit that they were very comfortable. I called Mama Pudding via Skype and showed them to her using my web cam. She really loved them! Getting that little bit of encouragement from Mama P meant a lot, and forced me to evaluate exactly what it was about these shoes that made me hesitate. I realized that the only thing that could make these shoes more beautiful would be a 4 inch heel. I can't expect to find a low heeled shoe that comes with a high heel, now can I?
So, it's been decided. They stay! I am still going to keep my eyes open, since these babies were a little pricier that I wanted to spend, but I am happy to report that I will not be walking down the aisle barefoot!
How is your shoe hunt going?
