I am having a shoe crisis
So in all my efforts this week to look "not embarrassing," I decided to put on my fancy shoes. By fancy I mean I got them at Target rather than the Walmart. They got the big thumbs up from my teenagers. HOWEVER...


Hello, what is that? Is that blood? Oh yes. My toes hurt while I was walking around but I had no idea they were actually being squished to the point where they would turn black and blue and bloody.


So, here's my problem. My feet were made for shoes like this...

Or this... Oh yes these are really, really perfectly designed with my chubby little feet in mind.

And these aren't bad either...

So, here's the problem. It's fall, which means it's no longer summer. Which probably means, I shouldn't be wearing open-toed shoes much longer. And, of course, there is this little detail about the temperature getting cooler and cooler.
What is a girl to do? I know some people trade comfort for cuteness. But after my bloody results today, I'm not so sure I'm willing to do that.
Help a sister out. Where can I find inexpensive, high heeled (but not too high), closed toed shoes? Is there a style that looks fashionable without squishing the daylights out of my toes?
And just out of curiosity... are you more concerned with cute or comfort?
