Originally I ordered a pair of Grace slingbacks from Bellissima for a *gasp* small price of 141.00 plus shipping and tax. I decided that although the would really match the dress, I just didn''t like the very pointy toe on them. Think elf without the upturn.

So, I ordered more shoes from ZAPPOS. Wonderful place, ZAPPOS. 365-day a year return as long as you haven''t worn them. No need to tell them why - they don''t care. FREE overnight shipping. NO sales tax. Prices are pretty darn good, too.

Well, none of the ZAPPO shoes are just right either -- although the ones in my avatar are an OK choice if need be. So pretty much all will go back. Easy to do with ZAPPOS; no prob.

But, Bellissima needed to go out today to be within the 10 day return policy. Subliminally (sp?) I think I hung on to them (ignoring their *gasp* cost) because I wanted them to be THE PAIR. I have a B&W photo in my ''bride''s book'' I cut out of a KNOT mag, sometime last year, as an example of what I was looking for. I guess I''m reluctant to give up the dream. So now I own a pair of ivory silk satin beaded slingbacks I may never wear because I''m obviously nuts!

Tell me I''m not alone here. Please.

EBAY!!! Obviously you won''t get all your money back on them, but you will get some!! It''s a sunk cost now, if you think they will irritate you at the wedding, sell them and get a bit of money back to buy some shoes you love!! Or try posting on the Knot classifieds, it seems like lots of stuff gets sold on there.

I fully intend to buy my shoes on Ebay...I''m not buying white "wedding" shoes, but I do plan to get a pair I wouldn''t normally pay for (Kate, Jimmy, Manolo, or some other amazing shoe out there maybe I don''t even know about yet!!)
 
Why not dye them black and use them as an evening shoe?
