ridiculous. and twenty-five dollars.

dilemma.

i bought these slightly ridiculous shoes that i could potentially wear with the dress for jenni's wedding. they were way on sale.






i also bought some practical and slightly boring ones. which go with two other dresses of mine and a fancy pair of pants. they match good. i like them. but they tend towards boring.



will dark brown satin look weird with the medium-toned olive?

will the gigantic sequined flowers ruin the hemline of this dress?

will i learn to walk in these slight-platforms well enough to be part of the Parade?

are they just plain tacky? do i spoil a designer dress with sequined sunflowers?

will anyone even see my shoes?

if i choose ridiculous, do i keep the practical ones? or assume that when i need some brown satin dress shoes i'll find something that stirs my heart more (these brown shoes were marked down, too--forty bucks, man. i may not be that lucky again).




also, jay, i went to the mac counter and had them teach me about eye shadow. so i won't be the only nature-faced anti-glam bridesmaid. oh, it's on.
