I remember my very first pair of 'pumps' when I was a little girl.
They were slip ons, which meant no strap. And that was a very big deal to me.
They were also pale pink and had what I thought was the biggest, best heel ever. Which in reality was about 1/2 an inch.
But I loved those shoes. I felt like a princess as I pranced around in them. I didn't want to take them off all day long. I was so excited to get ready for church and thought up any excuse I could to put them on. I can recall even trying to wear them with jeans. What a silly girl, who would ever wear pumps with a pair of jeans?! (hmm, who knew it would be hugely popular again 20 years later, see I did have some fashion sense when I was 9)
Finding these fabulous brown shoes brought back the wonderful pink toed memories of my childhood.
I slipped them on my feet and for those few moments in the shoe store I felt like a princess again.
They were practically perfect in every way. Well, every way except one.
I don't have a dress to match.
Yet.
Now I am searching, searching, searching for the perfect brown dress to wear with them.
Before you think I am a crazy person for buying a pair of shoes that now must have a dress to match, let me tell you -
I DO actually have a reason: my brother's wedding.
The ladies are supposed to be wearing brown. Hmm, you try finding brown in the spring. and not just brown, but modest as well.
I dare you to look for me. Please. Size medium. Flattering fit. If you have anything that I could borrow, that would work too.
Oh, and I'd love if it could match these shoes.
I did, afterall, buy them for the wedding.

cute shoes! I have a pink and brown dress you could borrow if it doesn't have to be all brown. But I'm guessing it does... It's a size M from Downeast.
So, maybe we could go to the mall this week?? You're looking for a dress, and I'm dying for some new clothes. :)
Don't worry, I'm on the hunt too! And I LOVE the shoes, so cute. I'm remember my first heels too. It was for my easter dress... good memories, huh?!?
Sounds like fun, I have a brown and cream dress but I live a little far away to borrow. Are you going to just Shawn's wedding in Arizona or are you coming to CA for the reception? I would like to go but we will have to see... it is a long drive and everyone I would like to see will probably be really busy.
I have a brown dress from Tommy's wedding that I wore. I'll send you pics. I'm seeing my sister at Easter and I could send it up with her.
Cute shoes! Aloria has a few brown and pink numbers, they may be a bit small. Have you tried H & M? You could buy something while and dye it brown.
