I’m totally blaming my newest quest for a nude/neutral pair of shoes on a mom at my son’s school.  I noticed last year she had the cutest pair of nude/light pink colored ballet flats I had ever seen.  They looked comfortable and they made everything she wore them with, including dresses and jeans, look totally put together.  How hard could tracking down a pair of these shoes be?

Well, after searching all over town, they weren’t going to be found easily.  No problem, because that’s what the internet is for, right?

So I found some really cute nude/neutral/light pinkish shoes I totally love, but I certainly won’t be buying them.  Call me cheap, but I refuse to pay over $50 for a pair of shoes.  I know.  I’m so 1995.

Meet:  THE Pair, or what I like to call A Month’s Worth of Electricity and Water:

These are THE pair I have been searching high and low for.  Exactly.  And for the low, low price of $195, these Vera Wang shoes can be all mine.  But I can’t buy them, because I sort of like having running water to bathe in and lights to read by.

Then, I saw these:

Jessica Simpson, I am in awe!  They’re beautiful, and tall, and completely affordable at $65.  But, I’m short and these would only make me look like I was trying to play dress-up in mommy’s heels and I winced with imaginary pain just trying to picture myself wearing these.  Ouch.  But the color!  I am LOVING the color!

And finally, I present to you the ones I like to call “Slightly Less Than Half A Mortgage Payment”.  These are by Tod’s and only $395.

So my search continues.  Have you seen my shoes?
