So, I'm gonna be in a friend's wedding at the beginning of November. Pretty navy colored dress it would be nice to fit into. I need pretty navy colored shoes to go with it.
Requirements: Must have a heel of some height, but the heel can't be spiky (because the ceremony is outdoors and I don't want to aerate the lawn). Must not be open-toed (because the wedding is in November and outdoors). Must be navy in color. Must be available in size 5. (I swear they've started lying about shoe sizes. I used to wear a 6. I think there's some sort of conspiracy to make all shoes sized slightly larger. So that women with big feet can say they wear a teenier size. Which is all well and good until those of us with ACTUALLY small feet end up being pushed off the chart.)
I went to "Designer Shoe Warehouse" -- one of those places with a bazillion different shoes all lined up on the shelves. Was there for about an hour. Not one damn wide-heeled, close-toed, navy-colored 5 in the place. Not one. I started changing my qualifications. OK, maybe I can walk on my toes so a spike heel would be ok. Nothing. All right, I can freeze, I'll get an open-toed shoe. Still Nothing. Fine, I'll buy a size 6 and stuff it with insoles so it'll fit. Yet again, Nada. Gave up. Went to Macy's. Closest thing they had was an open-toed, spike-heeled, navy sandal in a 6. Left in disgust.
And to add insult to injury, I didn't get a parking validation, so I had to cough up $5 to park in their stupid lot, just because they didn't have anything I wanted to buy. It's like a "picky shopper" fine.
Came home, poked around on the net, and found this in less than five minutes. Let's hope it fits and doesn't look ridiculous.

Found the link this time - shoes look cute! I hope they fit you as well as the reviewers. If not, well, feel free to ditch them after the pictures.
