    I'm feeling frustrated and dissapointed that I haven't found what I was looking for: mauve/dusty rose or magenta shoes (both are pinkish-purple), up to 3" heel, open toe, $100 or less.

    These were the 1st pair but they just didn't inspire me, Brass Plum Larissa - returned them.

    I fell in love with these Betsy Johnson Calandra and ordered them in my size, but they were not comfortable at all - returned them

    The 3rd pair were Nine West Hambert.  Cute and comfortable but I kind of wanted a solid color shoe - will be returning them

    4th pair Moda Spana Ginny: solid color, really cute, comfortable in the store but not so much for extended periods - too late to return them since I already wore them out but they're so cute I don't mind; I'll just wear them when I don't have to stand or walk a lot. =)

    5th pair Brass Plum Posey - I was super excited about these when I ordered them, but when they came in, I was disappointed that they were more hot pink than pinkish-purple.  very cute and fairly comfortable.  I think they go best with my dress, but I'm sad that they aren't the color I was looking for.

    I found these Menbur Queronea on Overstock.com; I'd relplace the flower thing.  Has anyone ordered shoes through them before?  Their return policy says that they do returns/refunds for unopened items, but I'd have to open them to try them on and see the color.  Do they just mean unworn for shoes?

    I also as having trouble finding shoes. I have bought and returned several pairs...I think there must be some point when we just have to stop looking, but I haven't gotten there yet. I do like the 5th option you selected...those are my favorite. I haven't ever ordered anything from Overtstock so I'm no help to you there. Also if you take the flower thing off of them, what are you going to put in its place? Well, good luck...to us both..lol

    Overstock does accept returns for unworn shoes but they will charge you for the return shipping, which for shoes I think is like $6-$8.

    I looked around a little and Overstock seems to be the only place for those exact shoes.  I did find other Menbur shoes on Endless and Amazon, some of which are really pretty, but nothing that matches your specifications.  The few reviews on Amazon were mostly positive for other shoes of the brand.

    @bridegrl:

    i figured i'd find a nicer shoe clip to put in it's place; that might be another quest in itself!  something like this maybe

    or i may just stick with the Poseys because i'm kind of tired of searching.

    @lisalew5472:

    Because my dress is fully beaded, I was looking for something not-too-flashy, plus I'm not really a flashy kinda-gal.  I surprised myself for falling in love with a fully beaded gown, but it fit so perfectly and really flattered my petite figure!  I'm curious though, do you have suggestions for metallic mauve or magenta shoes?
