    I just found these lilac colored beauties on an Australian website, wittner.com. I was thinking gold shoes to go with my after party dress, but really, really, want to justify spending $125 on these shoes (usually I go for the $25 bargains on ebay, so this is a lot for me to spend on shoes! I'm a quantity over name brand kinda girl.).

    What do you guys think? Do these fabulous shoes go well enough with my dress to justify the *9th* wedding, or wedding event shoe purchase?

    Go for it! If you wanted to you could look on Aussie ebay (www.ebay.com.au) and see if anyones listed them - although they're fairly new so I don't know how you'll go! Anyhoo, if it makes you feel better I recently spent $180 on gumboots so you SO don't have to feel bad about spending a little on shoes for your wedding!

    Personally I say YES since I think I was the one who introduced you to Wittner ;) 

    Everything I saw and tried on of theirs in person was really high quality. The shoes all have leather inside, not synthetics like most American shoes in the same price range.

    Hey, that's weird....I posted yesterday and now it's not there.  Anyway, my response yesterday and I agree with it still today, is YES, YES, YES! I love purple shoes and those are beautiful.  They can definitely be used again with other dresses, too!

    Did I read that right? Your 9th pair of wedding-related shoes? They are really cute, but I have to vote no. LOL You've gotta draw the line somewhere!

    @Nexus, yes, you were totally the one to introduce me to wittner! I'm still drooling over the hot pink shoes you got from there too...but I can't justify getting them for myself yet!

    @Osakagrl, those MeToo shoes are really cute too, I wish they came in purple! The champagne color is really pretty, but probably not as rewearable as other colors.

    @honeybun, yeah, I've gotten 8 pairs of shoes for the wedding and wedding events so far, ones for the wedding party welcome event, rehearsal, the wedding, reception back up flats, sunday luncheon....but haven't found ones to go with my after party dress yet, so technically I still *need* another pair....yes, I have a shoe addiction!

    @everyone else, thanks for the encouragement! Now I know how to spend some of my Christmas money I'm sure I'll be getting as gifts!

    I think they're super adorable, but for the 9th pair of shoes for wedding related events, I'd have to say no. You should look for them online elsewhere-ebay or amazon if you want them. You can probably find them.

    This is prob the only event in your life that you'll ever justify buying 9 pairs of shoes for, so go for it!

    If you LOVE them, get them! You can always resell them for at least some of what you bought them for, right? YES.

    If you have the money in your budget, then I say go for it!  They're very pretty and they look like something you can wear again so you'll get your money's worth!

    I think that's a bit much to spend on shoes, especially if you have purchased so many pairs already.  BUT, if you love them, the brand Me Too has a similar pair for less $$$.  Check them out on DSW.com:

    @cola I think they're cute in purple too.  I snagged em in a size 7 a couple months ago to wear my wedding day.  They don't have many sizes left, but hopefully you're one of the ones they do have!

    They also come in a slingback called the Jeanette.  You could do a search to see if you could find that style.  It also comes in purple.

    Hecks to the yes! They would not only look great with the dress, but could SO be worn afterwards.

    The bow on the top reminds me of a bunny rabbit's ears, so it's a definite yes from me!

    they're gorgeous, but I agree with a previous poster about finding them cheaper somewhere else UNLESS you will wear them a lot in other wedding related activities...

    question - are you a drinker / dancer / partier?  I am, and my nice shoes ended up kicked half way through.  You might not have heels left in you if you have danced all night!  So, a waste of $.  Just a thought.  Then again, I destroyed my dress by cannonballing in the swimming pool, so maybe i'm not a good judge.

    Personally, Im not a big fan of the shoes....I LOVE the color but not the bow but if YOU love them then get them who cares!!!! And anyways I dont think $125 is THAT much for a nice pair of shoes! You can always pull them out with a LBD for a cocktail party or wear them with a black skirt suit to work one day to add some pizazz!!!

    Drooool they are so pretty! And if they are high quality and you are going to wear them again, then they are totally worth the splurge (ok, I might not be the best person to ask about this, as I can justify most shoe purchases in some way)!
