I knew I wanted my something blue to be my shoes. Call me a Carrie follower I don't really care. I love the idea of wearing a colored shoe to peek through under your dress.
That being said I already knew, without having searched before, what I pretty much wanted the shoes to look like. The blue needed to be between sapphire to navy shade range, I think anything brighter would clash with my ivory dress. And I wanted them to be preferably satin and preferably have some sort of embellishment. If the shoe came without an embellishment I could easily put a shoe clip on them which would be vintage looking anyway.
And so I googled "blue satin shoe". These are the ones I loved. 
Its the brooch that makes these so stunning really. And the simplicity of the rest of the shoe makes them a classic beauty, but honestly I feel like they are a little bright blue.
Then I saw these.
Love them. Perfect. Literally. They have all the elements I want. High heel, right color blue, satin, gorgeous embellishment.
There is only one problem. They are $400. Not exactly in my wedding budget.
So I looked again.
And found these.
And I thought oh my gosh they are gorgeous too. They are a beautiful mix of the first two and still have all the elements I want. Except, they're $400 too.
Crap.
