Somebody Stop Me…

1 Aug

Champagne_champagne_7666914_m_2 These shoes are torturing me. When I first met seen them, they were £300, and that was OK, because, y’know, even I baulk at paying that kind of money for shoes. Even although they are the most beeeeoootiful shoes I ever did see, and if I bought them for the wedding I would totally wear them around the house, too. Every day.

Anyway, that was a few weeks ago. Now, though, I go back the site and I find that THE SWINES have reduced the shoes to £139, and, well, I still have that £30 credit on my credit card, so that makes them really only £109, and if I paid just £13.62 towards the balance every month from now until the wedding I would pay for them without even really noticing, which means FREE SHOES!

At the moment, the only thing stopping me is the sling back. It is pretty, but I suspect it would start to chafe after a while. (plasterswouldsolvethis) which would mean I’d spend the whole reception hobbling around unattractively (youcouldjustsitdownallnight) and that’s SO not a good look. OK, I think we’re good here. I think I’ve talked myself out if it. For now.

In other weddingy news (because I know you all care!), I tried on my dress again at the weekend and ohmigod, I just want to wear it all the time. I think after the wedding I will wear it around the house, too. With my shoes.

Eight months to go. Gulp.

    Probably not what you need, a little red devil on your shoulder in the form of me, telling you to: buy buy buy,but seriously they are FAB!! Sooo purdy.

    And, if you wore them every day,they’d pay for themselves and then some.So you could definitely reason it like that!

    Aaarghh, begone with you, evil temptress! But…but… you are RIGHT! They would totally pay for themselves, and also: would be an investement. Hmmmm.

    Re: the dress – it is a very simple little Vera Wang number (OMG! I have a Vera Wang wedding dress)… It still needs to have some alterations done, but when it’s all finished I will make Terry promise not to look so I can post a picture….
