    My colors are Purple (plum) and Pewter...I really like the bright colored shoe trend, so I jumped on the bandwagon and had my heart stolen by Kate Spade.  I purchased Gracious in Eggplant.  When I got them I was a little hesitant b/c of the high heel and ankle strap...but I danced around in them a few times in my living room and decided to keep them (I can still return them b/c I got them from zappos!!)...

    Today I found these Badgley Mischka's and I think I'm REALLY in love.  They are about as high (maybe a smidge higher) than the Kate Spade's but look to have more support.  The dilemna is, of these two, which color to order...They come in Purple AND Grey!  My FI likes the grey, he says he likes the purple when there is "less shoe".

    So, bees...which do you prefer?  The original Kate Spades?  The Purple Badgley Mischkas or Grey Badgley Mischka's?

    The purple badgley's are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!  I love shoes and those shoes specifically are to die for.  The Kate Spade's are nice too but I think you'd get more wear out of the others.  That's my vote!  :)

    Oh, I love them all so very much!!!!  :) 

    Personally, I prefer an ankle strap when I'm going to be dancing around alot.  I just feel more secure.  Otherwise, I am torn between the 2 Badgley Mischkas...  I'd say gray by just a hair - they look so elegant in the silvery/gray. 

    Can you post a pic of your dress?

    I think the purple badgley's just fit your dress perfectly and they're gorgeous for anything else.  I don't know what it is, they're just speaking to me!

    With your beautiful dress, I'd go for the purple BM's.

    You're going to look stunning whichever you choose!

    I think the purple BM's are perfect. But note that they are actually probably much higher than the KS's. Not only is the heel taller, but the lack of platform makes the angle steeper. So I would say you should first test them out, for sure.

    I also like the purple BM's.  I agree with MariaNYC, those heels look a lot steeper than the KS's.  All three shoes are beautiful, though I love the color of the purple BMs.  I also love how that embellishment coincides with the one on your dress :)

    Purple BM's for sure! Those are to die for. And way more fun than grey!

    i love the purple Badgleys!! i like the little decal on the heel, i think it will look great with your dress!  But either way i love purple, having that touch of color is a lot of fun!

    Okay...so, I wear a 7.5/8...I searched high and low for the purple BMs and I could only find a 7!  I found a 7.5 in the grey and ordered both (obvi I will return what I don't keep)...

    The purple BMs arrived today (whoa, ordering from endless.com is fast and easy!) and they are SO cute, but definitely higher than the Kate Spades.  The size 7s actually aren't too small, I'm eager to compare them to the fit of the 7.5s...

    Hands down the Purple Badgley Mischkas!  They are amazing.  I think I'll buy them myself for my romantic Valentine's Day dinner.

    I've taken ballroom off and on, and usually you want an ankle strap, but I guess you can only tell how secure you feel.  I went for my girl Kate.  ;)

    The badgley mishkas are fabulous!!!!

    I think the grey looks more "bridal" but the purple ones are amazing!  I'm biased though, cause I also jumped on the bright color bandwagon.  If it helps, I ordered silver shoes and then a few months later ordered fuscia ones because I NEEDED the pop of color.

    I am surely in the minority here, but I prefer the grey. Your dress is so soft and feminine and to me the grey shoes go better then the purple. With that said, they are ALL gorgeous and you have one tough decision to make!
