AHHHH! So I have found them! My dream shoes! The perfect red peep-toes with the red rose on the side… I’m about to have a heart-attack from cuteness!

But… there’s a problem. What is the problem, you ask? No, it’s not the price… they are very decently priced at only $17.99 plus a grand shipping cost of $10! Making them even more perfect, being under $30! The problem is the 4″ heel height. Now, let me make this clear, I WILL suffer if I have to. I have always believed the phrase, pain for beauty. You can even ask my friend who lives in New York… the one who I hiked quite a many blocks to meet after a trip on the horrible Greyhound, to end up with bloody feet from my shoes. Everyone was going crazy, asking me if I was alright… and I basically just said, “Oh, it’s nothing… I always get stuff like that from my shoes…” A woman in her father’s work building had to FORCE me to take the heels off and put flip flops onto my feet! On top of that, my dress is a bit too long, so it would only help having shoes that are taller, making less of a need for hemming!
The true problem is that Mr. Red is 5′7ish, and I am 5′3ish. So, the true problem is that I don’t want to be the same height as him… I want him to be taller than me! If those heels were one inch shorter, they would be perfect!
If the wedding were maybe a month away, I would bite my tongue and purchase them, and tell Mr. Red to get some man-heeled dancing shoes… but being over a year away, I just can’t justify purchasing shoes that are not absolutely perfect in every way, shape, and form! Especially since Mama Red has decided to budget my shoes at $100! I almost fainted at that, considering both my parents are the stingiest people I’ve ever met!

These shoes are beautiful! If U want them just buy them. They don’t cost a fortune. U can wear them when U aren’t with UR boyfriend=) I’ve got the same problem with high heels cause I’m very tall and I don’t want to look like a giraffe. But sometimes I think ‘why not, I could pretend a model’
Go ahead with these shoes, it’s all about self-confidence;)
