Bees, I LOVE a good deal. And in my mind, the only thing better than a good deal is free.
Ever since I bought my wedding gown, ideas for shoes have been dancing in my head. I’ve been dressing up for college debate stuff for years now, and I interned in a law firm for two summers, so I love a good, classy pump. But ever since I started teaching, flats have been the name of my game. It will really do a number on you to try to walk around a classroom in heels for eight hours straight. I learned that the hard way.

But since I wear heels so rarely now, I think our wedding is the perfect day to dress my feet up a little. The only question, of course, was where to start my first attempt at wedding-shoe shopping. Enter the “free” part of this post. I’ve had a Rack Room gift card taking up space in my wallet for almost a year now, courtesy of my mom. When I buy shoes I get really attached to them, so I don’t shop for them unless I really, really need a new pair. I decided to see what I could on the store’s website by way of wedding shoes. I wasn’t expecting to find much, if anything, but I was pleasantly surprised to come across two styles that I loved and found on super-super sale. I decided to order both so I can try them each with my gown. Yay to new shoes!
