    mrsD2B's fault Im browsing wedding shoes

    Seen some irregular choice ones i like quite extavagant, but with a price tag to match

    So I turned to ebay and decided to search Iron Fist, which i love, the shoes are so different, I'm wanting blue ones and I really like these cobalt blue ones;

    But these union jack ones also stood out, especially as Rose Tyler wears a union jack tshirt in the wwii episode, which i thought was quite a snazzy tie in for my theme

    what concerns me with the union jack ones, is people finding them tacky, as 99% of people will have no idea how they tie in really. I generally dont like all the union jack themed clothes either, but i do kinda like these as a bit of a hat tip to rose...

    Opinions?

    I think both pairs are lovely. Out of the two though i'd choose the union jack ones. Lets face it, your wedding day will be one of the only times you could get away with wearing these, i don't think they're tacky at all. Go for it :-) x

    Just spoke to my mum, she's off out for a meal, so said she'll have a look whn she gets back. then i'll swoop in pleading poverty see if she'll buy them for me. I know if she gets them as well, she wont let me have them so i wont be tempted to wear them over the next 18mths haha

    cheers ladies, you've given me the little shove I needed to convince me the union jacks were good ideas!

    i didnt ask.... i got to excited and put the bid on myself, so im planning on taking them round and saying oh by the way you owe me 20 (or possibly 30) quid hahahaha, i did that with a box set i bought once, told her she owed me 50 quid, she was like, wtf why?! I just bought my birthday present off you hahahaha

    I should just buy them myself really, its not like they cost me the earth xD

    I'll probably con her into paying for the dress altreations

    I have the Union Jack ones but in black and silver. They are super high and I haven't worn them yet. They were an impulse buy before christmas and don't know if they will end up on the bay or not yet. But they're gorgeous. Just way too high for me xx

    Ohhh I can see me having height issues here haha! theres still about 23 hours left on the bid. I MIGHT have to let the boy see them, so i can stand next to him with them on, if Im taller than him, there might be a problem, i dont mind being the same height but id rather not be more for the pictures....!

    I suppose its an excuse for more shoes if they are too high

    there are some union jack irregular choice ones, and the heels is definately more reasonable, so if they are too big at least there's a good alternative
