Shoe fetish

I have never been much of a shoe fanatic. The first pair of expensive shoes I ever bought was in San Francisco junior year of college when I went to visit Michelle. I bought a pair of black, patent, Tory Burch flats that I have basically worn with every outfit for the past 3 years straight. I literally have to be wearing denim shorts to not put them on. Despite the horrid smell that reeks out of them after I take them off after a long day of work I would say they are still in pretty good shape. Thanks Tory for showing me that if you spend a little extra money on a nice pair of shoes you will get your wear out of them.

With that being said after I bought my wedding dress in January, Katherine and I went to Bellevue Square in Washington to meet my family for a quick sushi lunch before my flight back to Phoenix. On the way to sushi I walked by the Nordstrom shoe department and found my wedding shoes, tried them on and ordered them within five minutes. They were perfect, beautiful and I couldn't wait to wear them. Fast forward 6 months when Justin and I were in Seattle ironing out some last minute wedding details when I tried the shoes on again. Yes, they were beautiful. Yes, they were pretty affordable. Yes, they matched my dress perfectly. But HECK no am I going to wear a 5 inch heel, on grass, on Labor Day weekend

for 7+ hours. Time to go back to the drawing board.

This is the time when this post comes into play: I ended up splurging... ok splurging A LOT on the new wedding shoes. Not only are they the most comfortable, cute and amazing shoes I have ever worn but I am absolutely obsessed with their color, texture and heel size.  Maybe it is because I am so excited for September 3rd that it is hard to sleep some nights, or maybe it is also because Kate Spade makes the most unbelievable shoes I have ever worn and I can't wait to walk down the grass isle, on Labor Day weekend and never take them off. (That's not true, I have another pair of "FUN" shoes to wear for the reception.... that's another post-wedding post). Stay tuned for the BIG day to see the new "kicks!" 

So am I shoe obsessed? Still no. But am I wedding shoe obsessed? YES! YES! YES!
