Shoe issue update: I've still been putting off buying anything until it's actually May (budget thing). The consensus seemed to be purple because you can wear purple shoes with a blue dress and because I seemed to like the purple shoes more. Well I like the color of the purple more, but as shoes I think I like the blue more. Also I won't wear the purple shoes with the blue dress because I want to look at light and airy for the beach and I think a dark color with black details would be too much. But I think you could wear them together with appropriate accessories and that would make the dress wearable into the fall, and I do have more things I can wear the purple with. Plus colorful shoes are awesome--love the idea of purple shoes and a red dress.
I was pretty much decided on getting the blue ones. Then I went and checked back at the websites and the purple ones are gone. So decision kind of made for me.
I hate to be the girl who asks "a or b?" and everyone says b and I say, oh but now I know a. *sigh* Thanks everyone for your feedback :)
ETA: Can I also just say that since I've spent so much time and energy thinking about these shoes that that in itself means I should just go ahead and buy the damn things. :)

I bought this dress for my sister's wedding (and for several other events this spring and summer). I really like the dress and I have a pair of tan sandals that look fine with it.
The thing is I've been wanting these blue/white fluevog shoes for ages and so I thought I might get them because they might coordinate with the dress (so I would have a chance to wear them).
But in searching for those shoes on sale (unsucessfully) I found the same shoes only in purple/black! (You have to change the color once you click on the link.)
I can't afford both pairs so I'm not sure what to do:
blue shoes:
pros
-might match with dress so I'll have places to wear them
-love the patent leather (shiny!)
-seems more classic (like with red shoes I could wear the blue shoes with a neutral outfit)
-white stitching seems more spring/summer appropriate
cons
-might notmatch coordinate with with dress so wearability might not be a factor at all (according to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sanj shoes should coordinate not match)
-not on sale anywhere
purple shoes:
pros
-they're purple, I love purple and they're a shade I love
-the black stitching seems a little more subdued and like I could wear them year round more easily
-I think I have more outfits that might work? I have a lot of black skirts/pants and purple or purple-friendly tops although it's hard to tell until I see them in person
-they're not on the official website so may not be around forever?
cons
-can I really wear purple shoes? I've never had a pair and I'm not sure if they will work
-I don't have any specific place to wear them (they certainly won't work with the blue dress)
