Shoe Dilemma

Since I am wearing a short dress I think that shoes will be key and really set the tone for my look. I have been dreaming about a fabulous peep toe in turquoise or a darker teal. I would even go with a flat ballet slipper if it was the right color. Something like these would be almost perfect:
Nine West Julia Rea shoe
no longer available :(
Charles by Charles Women's Tux Peep Toe
But they are no longer available. :(

I am having a hard time finding what I want. For months I have window shopped and spend countless hours on-line. Every time I find a style I like, it either doesn't come in my size or not in the color I want. Since I am completely frustrated I might even consider going fuchsia. Such as these:Fuchsia Satin Peep Toe from Nordstrom


I might even have to go the dyeable route. I sort of wanted to avoid this. I did have high hopes for the new Lela Rose Dyeable shoes at Payless. The price is right but I found thier >3.5 inch heals a little out of my comfort range. And they seem like they are only about a half inch wide.

Any suggestions? Where can you find comfortable and stylish dyeable shoes? or turquoise satin fabric (no patent leather - yuck) peep toe pumps?

... I love the first shoe! That sucks so much that it's not available. Hmm ... I like the look of blues, so maybe a royal blue, instead of fuchsia?

Walking across the rocks in almost 4 inch skinny heels could lead to potential problems for sure! The peep toes are really cute.

... speaking from experience go the dyeable route. They will match perfect. Then you can dye them black after the event. I used coloriffics, they were comfortable and now they are black. Check out www.coloriffics.com

The first shoe is SMOKIN' I love it! As far as dyeables I am not really sure where to find any that are both comfy and cute. Have you tried like.com?

Sorry. I'm new and a little behind. What color is your dress? I loved the nine west shoe and the one under that are both unavailable. I think in one of your blogs above you said you've found your shoe. My fingers are crossed for you!
