It's pretty casual, but it's a small wedding and I thought if my accessories were appropriately sparkly, I could pull it off. I considered the following but none of them worked for various reasons:

($30 from Target)
($27 from Forever 21)
Then I found this pair by Nine West at Marshall's for $34:
They looked perfect. I took them home, put them on, walked three steps, took them off and put them back in the box because HELL NO. They were all wrong and ill-fitting and the straps cut into my toes in weird place. Boo. (In case you're wondering, I did try them on before I bought them but they were tethered together, a practice I hate.) At this point I was getting desperate. I'd checked Marshalls, TJ Maxx, DSW, Ross, and Target. Part of what was holding me back was the idea of buying a pair of sandals I could only wear for very specific occasions. I really liked the idea of a pair of metallic wedges, but I kept running into stuff like this:

For $36! They were half off and I LOVE them. Perfect for parties, perfect for weekends, perfect for a small summer wedding. Here's what they look like on me:
Cute, right? Damn, I'm tired.

I missed the Glee reference but I dig the sandals. We'll need pictures of the whole outfit, natch.
