So just a little over a month to Carnival and me the Queen of Shoes does not have anything to wear come Tuesday!!! Half the problem (well more then half) is that I do not want to spend much on these shoes considering I will wear them only for that one day and the odds of them having to be retired after that is like 99.9% - you see I won't wear scuffed shoes so I know they will be garbage.
So lets start with Payless - what do you all think of the shoes below - help me fellow bloggers vote!!! (thanks for the idea Kevian!!!)
***Please note that I am doing this at the office and have not made any kind of decision what so ever and Saucy, girl you have seen the costume in person - help :) They are in no particular order, remember I playing cow mas - Tribe website blocked at work so I can't post the costume pic.
Shoe # 1 - too brown :(
Shoe # 2 - not sure about comfort...
Shoe # 3 - orange DUH
Shoe # 4 - maybe, need to look at costume again
Shoe # 5
there is none!!!!!
This ain't helping - I need to go to the mall :(
Got a pic

I'll save you all the trouble - NO TO ALL!!!
The best one I find is teh damn orange one LOL but I have not seen the costume or the shoes in person so forget it!!!
plus once they get dirty they will look darker LOL
Try going to www.zappos.com, click on women's sneakers, click on the color Brown, and I found numerous Pumas and Adidas that would match your costume perfectly!
Gyrl, yeah, those are the wrong colours. :(
Check out what I bought for $30.

(But I've been wearing them a lot since I bought 'em, & will wear 'em after.)
I like looking 4 matching sneaks, so here ya go!
Our costume is coppery, hard to find sneaks that colour, funny, I saw a pair of copper ballerina flats in H&M I thought they'd be toooo cute w our costume, but I'd never wear 'em, I need comfort.
If you like any, call local stores to see if they have the style. They start at $17:
~Tan & metallic~

Zappos don't deliver to Canada :(
Kara - pics don't show up in the comments :(
you have to copy & paste the links into your address bar ;)
eeek...me ain like dem shoes yuh pick nuh hehehehe...but I am a three fringe boots ho so dais my choice....
If you had to the orange out of those ones or the one about. But the one above looks dark
i think you should get boots...cowboy boots would even be better.
If you going for the sneaker thing, try for all gold with some brown.
I would love to find boots :)
I need to go to the mall and I know I will find what I need :)
I'll keep you posted.
Don't worry Casioqueen I ain't liking any of these either LOL
Cheer up bubble,
I'm sure you will find a shoe
Ah just download twenty something of the hottest 2007 soca tunes and I will send you a copy with Karabana.
But doh tell Kevian....she will be vex with me and and any hopes of taking a friendly wine on the road will be lost. NOW PAY ATTENTION, this is for promotional purposes only, so listen to it, decide what you like, and go out and purchase a legal copy of any songs you think are good;)
Don't be a fowl thief
Ah done talk.
THANKS TRINI-IN-TO!!!! I looking forward to the CD!!! Kara we whining I mean working out to it come Sunday morning :)
