Dear Mommy Fashionista

Dear Mommy Fashionista,

I am getting married next month, and in my wedding are going to be two of the cutest flower girls a bride could ever wish for. I had an easy time picking out their dresses (made by US Angels):

However, we are struggling to find the perfect shoes. One of the flower girls is 4 and the other is 6. They need a matching pair that runs in both toddler and girls' sizes. I am hoping to find an ivory shoe that is priced within reason (under $40), and a simple yet elegant style. I tend to prefer ballerina flats and Mary Janes. Can you help?

Signed,

St. Paddy’s Day Bride

Dear St. Paddy's Day Bride,

Are you sure they are two of *the* cutest flower girls, ever? Well, then, you must be talking about my niece, Peanut, and my daughter, Chicky! :) I would be glad to help you find shoes for our girls.

After scouring the internet, here are some options I came up with:

Pazitos Ivory Ballerina Flats

Price: Average around $70, but available on http://www.snapdragonsbaby.com/ for $39.

Classic, elegant, and a great bargain for a luxury shoe brand:

Bear Feet Shoes Pearlized Ivory Cream Ballet Slippers
Price: $44 and up (depending on the size), available at http://www.bestdressedchild.com/

Slightly over the price limit, but too cute to leave off the list!

Similar, but different (both of these pairs can be worn with or without the ankle ribbons):

Kamara Ivory Ballet Shoes

Price: $34.99 at http://www.sophiastyle.com/

Stride Rite Valerie Junior Ivory with Pearl Accent

Price: $40, available at http://www.striderite.com/ or on many other websites (I recommend extensive searching of the style name to find the best price, as you can usually find Stride Rite sales).

Okay, so this isn't a Mary Jane or a ballet flat, but I thought I would throw it in the mix since it comes in ivory and has the pearl accent that matches the sash on the dress.

Stride Rite Felicia Ivory Pearlized Mary Jane
Price: $38, again, available at http://www.striderite.com/ or on many other websites (don't forget to search for sales!).

You can't get more classic than a plain leather Stride Right Mary Jane!

Ivory Leather Ballet Shoes
Price: $25.50 is the average price, but on sale now for $17.50 at http://www.mygirldress.com/

The bow of these shoes compliments the skirt overlay of the dress, as well as the pearl sash:

Happy Picking!
