Due to my freakishly small feet, I’ve been having trouble finding shoes for my wedding. Shortly after I got engaged, I checked out Zappos.com (my shoe Mecca) and saw a lovely pair of $70 Kenneth Cole jeweled slippers with kitten heels that I thought would be very sweet. But I waited since it was so early and they sold out.

A few months later, I ordered several potential wedding shoes on Zappos – but this one was too white, this one too uncomfortable. (Luckily, returning shoes with Zappos is easy since even return shipping is free).

I decided to hit some actual stores with my sister (and maid of honor), despite the unlikelihood of finding a size 5. But after several unsuccessful shopping attempts, it seemed like a bad idea. I told my sister the sad story of those lovely Kenneth Cole shoes I saw on Zappos and didn’t buy. We decided to try our luck at Macy’s and headed to the sale rack. And then I saw them! The very same Kenneth Cole slippers on sale, though unfortunately in a size 6. I showed my sister and she magically found another pair in my size. And the cost — $13.80! A pretty decent price for bridal shoes. I guess good things can come to those who wait.
