I didn't understood the title, first :-)) I like your shoes, they are not really funky, but it's a good first "feminine" try ! Now, I would like to see the dress ;) A bit colored ?

Skutchie is my friend David's nickname and he has a tendancy (and I am exaggerating for blog purposes) to be a queen.

Oh, I didn't want them to be funky. I was aiming for traditional, or as traditional as possible, and something that I could actually walk in.

Your footwear preferences sound scarily similar to mine, Corie. In fact, I don't think I own a pair of dress shoes. If I was forced to wear a skirt (kicking and screaming) I'd probably have to wear my FMB's.

I had the opportunity to see said shoes and dress last night.

Oh my.

Beautiful!

What are FMBs?

I might also add that buying fancy shoes and a strapless push up bra (note, there's not much to push up) in one evening was rather distressing to me. I actually called my mother en route to the subway, to which she responded Who are you turning into?

going to be in a wedding?

nope, just attending one. thank goodness.

hmm. apparently i'm a best man in a wedding. just found out (via email!!) about the best man thing, despite the fact that the bachelor party is this weekend.

The heels are too low for my taste. I like high heels. Actually, in fashion here in Spain.

Hope you are better from your flu

High heels are not conducive to city streets...or moving quickly, etc. Also, I can't balance in them and they hurt my feet. 'Nuff said.

those heels aren't high enough. Do we even call those heels? I'm thinking Mariah's in the Honey video. while we're at it, let's strip your hair platinum, grow it out -- no, no, that takes too long -- get vinyl extentions, collagen inject your lips, paste them with fire engine red lip gloss, blue eye shadow, add eye lashes, and mini skirt it, but with a pleat -- this is a wedding for chris sake -- and a nice blouse with a partial v neck down to the cleavage.

Then you'd be set.

are you insinuating that i dress like christina aquilera? just checking, cuz you KNOW i won't fill a leather bra without some mad padding.

FMB's are the nice way of referring to fuck-me boots.

And I'm seriously debating wearing ballet slippers with my wedding dress - I figure the dress is long and no one will see them, so I might as well be confortable!

i hate nothing more than heels (except maybe uncomfortable bras). the last time i wore a skirt was my wedding 7 months ago (and that was technically a dress). i almost hate attending weddings because i know i'll have to get dressed up and i HATE everything about dressing up.
i'm all about the comfortability factor. which may be why nobody believes how old i am.

dahl - you should definitely wear ballet slippers. It's my most fervent dream to get married barefoot

corie - i like the shoes

MFB's = f**k me boots :)

Nicole, I totally forgot about my wedding shoes! Mine were flat, ballet pump style, but mules (I got married in St Lucia, and wanted something that was going to be really comfy). Smartest pair of shoes I ever bought...

gah - ignore me, I just woke up and I'm reading comments backwards :)

For all the bachelors reading...
The best wedding is the non-existent

should i ever get married, i doubt i would even go through with wearing one of those giant foofy wedding dresses. they look incredibly uncomfortable.

Those shoes are fabulous, and very feminine, in my opinion. I've been on a hunt for good shoes - can I ask who makes those??

They are Cole Haans. They had a nice selection of them at DSW, my new favorite discount place.

Very cute.
I notice it is always the boys who have never worn heels who say, "Those are too low! Wear higher ones!"

I don't know if I am happy with being called tween rather than pre-teen. I love the shoes, and am proud of you for going with some sort of heels. Dahl - for your own wedding, ballet slippers work, so do boots. Whatever gets you through the day in comfort, though avoid the sneakers, you won't dance well in them.
