I have two assignments due by midnight tonight. So, naturally, I’ve been looking at shoes for my stunning teal dress I found for the inaugural ball Mike and I will hit in January.
Here’s what’s currently sitting in my Zappos shopping cart. I’d be willing to buy two (and send back the loser), but four is a bit much. Anyone want to help narrow it down? The prices are close enough to not be a deciding factor. The dress is a shimmery dark teal with beading in teal, clear, and an iridescent blend of golds/bronzy tones/pinks/blues (hard to describe). My jewelry is made from similarly iridescent beads. When I have a chance, I’ll shot some photos.
For now, here are the contenders. Pick your top two and leave a comment (please!!!)
Option 1 (click through for full size):
Option 2:
Option 3:
Option 4:

LOVE #2, sassy, sophisticated & beatiful. However, I am laughing a bit at all of them– girl that’s a whole lot of walking/standing in some very high heels!!!! However to truly opine, I do need to see the dress. Good luck!
I have to say I like #3 the best…. they look like something that could work with jeans and a nice top for a night out, too. Multipurpose is the way to go. Of course, I agree with Alison…. seeing the dress might change my opinion.
Ok… to help even it out. My very first reaction was that I LOVE #1
#1 is my favorite. SO sexy. Jamie’s right that #3 would work well with jeans, so I think they’re too casual for an inaugural ball. Pair 4 is adorable, but they look a bit too spring-like, with the little flowers, and they look like they’d be really uncomfortable. #2 looks like the most comfortable option.
I’d order 1 and 2 and try them with the dress.
Summer, I was totally going to IM you if you didn’t respond on this one. I mean, I HAVE to get the opinion of the Internet shoe queen. Your picks are in line with my instincts, too. Number 3 appeals to me less and less the more I look at it, and 4…from the front has too much of a gladiator look. (I was hoping to play off the crystals in my dress.)
Damn, I wish you guys still lived in DC!
I like 2 & 3 the best – but saw that you already ordered! So – I’ll say keep #2.
I love #1! They’re so sexy and seem like they would go great with your dress as you described it.
