Bridesmaid Style Board 1: Shoes

As I mentioned in my Quick Takes last week, I'm going to be a bridesmaid this summer for my future sister-in-law (my brother-in-law's fiancee).  She is letting the bridesmaids (all 13 of us!) pick our own dresses and shoes within the "rustic chic" theme of their wedding. While I appreciate that each of us can pick something that fits our body type and style so we look good and will be able to wear it again, I am infinitely indecisive (which drives my husband crazy) and I don't have a whole lot of fashion sense (no wonder this is one of the first fashion posts I'm writing).  I don't think I ever leave the house looking ridiculous, but I certainly don't put together creative ensembles that could be considered "stylish".  So I need your help!  I'm putting together some style boards of dresses, heels (for the ceremony), and cowboy boots (for the reception) and I'm looking for advice to narrow down the options.

This post is all about heels.  (Don't forget to visit the bridesmaid dress style board for dress ideas!) The only guidance the bride gave on shoes for the church is that they should be nude heels.  That leaves the options wide open.  I have to admit that I am really excited about this because it gives me an excuse to buy heels that could potentially be reworn quite a bit and, if I'm not mistaken, it seems that nude heels are currently in style.


Here is my style board of nude pumps:

1. Waleo in Nude Patent, Jessica Simpson ($89.99) 2. Francesca in Nude Patent, Jessica Simpson ($69.90) 3. Doyscher in Bone, Aldo ($49.99) 4. Calie in Nude Patent, Jessica Simpson ($79.99) 5. New Love in Nude Patent, Chinese Laundry (68.95) 6. Loveme Pump in Nude Suede, Michael Antonio ($44.99)


And some more "fun" options:

1. Haylow in Blush, Steve Madden ($59.49) 2. Aveline in Latte Satin, rsvp ($23.70) 3. Halie in Nude Patent, Jessica Simpson ($88.95) 4. Eileen in Taupe, Fergalicious ($30.99) 5. Mona in Nude Patent, Fergalicious ($35.99) 6. Neutral-35 Velvet Peep Toe Pump in Nude, Qupid ($23.60) 7. Traffic Jam in Nude Patent, Chinese Laundry ($67.49) 8. Endo in Nude Patent, Jessica Simpson ($67.99)


Did you notice a common theme here?  Who knew Jessica Simpson made such gorgeous shoes?


They are only for the ceremony so comfort isn't necessarily a must, other than I would like a pair that I can rewear often.  I currently rarely wear heals except for special occasions, but I'd really like to make them more of a staple in my wardrobe (if you remember, I'm looking to create a more "grown-up" wardrobe).

Any ideas/advice for narrowing these down? Have you had any experience with these brands/similar shoes?  Which ones do you think I can rewear most often?
