Previously, on Miss Potion's Blog:
-Our colors are inspired by fall leaves- purple, red, orange, and green
-My dress is second-hand and rather old [Mr. Potion, clicking that link may be hazardous to your health. I cannot guarantee your safety, should you click that link. Continue at your own risk.]
-After much consideration, flats seem to be the way to go, shoe-wise
So, I gave myself a bunch of rules for choosing a shoe, remember?
-Flats
-Comfy enough to be worn all day
-No exposed toe
-A strap
-(At least) one of our wedding colors
-TOTALLY AWESOME
-$60 or less, if possible

This weekend, Mr. Potion and I were at the mall BUYING WEDDING BANDS, Y'ALL. WEDDING BANDS. THIS MAKES IT OFFICIAL. (more on that later) and we wandered into Charlotte Russe because I just can't pass up a sale on cheaply made, slightly trashy clothes.
They were having a "buy one get one for $12" shoe sale and as I am STILL in the market for a pair of shoes, I figured I'd look around.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear, but the most epic glittery ankle booties EVAR. Do they meet any of the requirements? THEY MEET THE AWESOME REQUIREMENT!

The only way I could describe them when wearing them was, "They're so...Ziggy Stardust!" to which Mr. Potion replied, "...and David Bowie is the definition of awesome. What's your point?"

So I didn't buy them.
I did, however, buy a nice pair of flats from that online shop I adore so much- ModCloth. (Along with an adorable dress to wear to my upcoming bridal shower! Eek!) Only...I'm not sure I like them either.

Then there's the shape- they're kind of narrow, and my feet are kind of...funky. I have really narrow ankles and a really wide "box"- I'm not sure what you actually call it, but the part of your foot where the toes connect. In a pointe shoe, the area at the toe is called the "box" and I always had to go with a wide box (and a narrow ankle). Hooray for Gaynor Minden!

I have 30 days from the day they shipped to return them for a refund which means I have...not a lot of time to decide if I want to keep them or not.
Finally- those cute flats I talked about for changing into? Those would be these puppies- my oxfords:

I really, really like oxfords. I think they're adorable. I've been searching for oxfords in the wedding colors (and also the budget), but I haven't had any luck. I've found silver ones, but my bridesmaids are wearing silver shoes, and I want to wear a bold color to stand out (because, you know, being the bride won't be standing out enough).
So Hive, here's where you come in. Vote quickly, because if I'm going to exchange the ModCloth shoes, I need to do it fast!
Should I:
-Wear the ModCloth shoes, so I can be done shopping
-Go back to Charlotte Russe and get the David Bowie shoes, because it's my wedding day and I deserve to be an absolute diva, even if it will look a little silly
-Keep looking for something that meets the requirements, especially the awesome bit
-Wear some awesome oxfords you have found for me on the interwebs at a link you will provide in the comments
HELP!!
