Wanted: The Perfect Heel

Now that I’m getting the made-just-for-me dress, I need to find the perfect shoes to go with it: something strappy, metallic (I’ve narrowed it down to copper or bronze), with 3 1/2 inch heels. I’ve been to Saks, Bergdorf’s and Barneys and I still haven’t found what I’m looking for!

I saw lots of soft gold leather, from Prada wedges (adorable, but not quite the right vibe) to these Jimmy Choo heels (which come darn close, but the wrong color). These Dolce & Gabbana heels are closer to the right color but the straps are fabric, not leather. I love these YSLs but they’re the wrong color and wrong material. And these Manolos aren’t strappy enough, or metallic enough…

It’s killing me that I won’t be able to wear the new dress until I can find the right footwear. I’m picking up the dress on Thursday… so I’ve got three more days to look!

At least I have the shoes for my other dress all figured out. This is a swatch of the silk twill that’s being used for the halter dress — and the lemon Manolo heels that I’ve now built three outfits around!
