I Need You to Talk Me Off This Ledge

Shortly after we returned from our honeymoon last summer, I had to throw my beautiful pink wedding shoes away. Due to the heavy rains the night before the wedding, and the fact that I spent the whole morning tromping through the grass for portraits, they were stained and ruined beyond fixing. I was so sad. I loved wearing those shoes, and I loved the way they looked.

I tried to replace them with a $10 sale pair of pink heels, but they didn't fit quite as well, and they didn't look quite as good, and I never quite fell in love with them.

And then today, I was looking online for a friend when I saw my! pink! shoes! on sale! for !!!NINETEEN DOLLARS!!! Marked down from $50!

I HAVE TO GET THEM. RIGHT???

Realistically, hot pink shoes don't go with everything. But I would wear them, because I don't buy stuff I won't use. Should I just look fondly at my wedding pictures and remember that I had beautiful shoes? Or do I go all crazy not-even-a-bride-anymore-no-one-wears-dyeable-shoes-in-real-life and BUY THEM?

What would YOU do?
