Little shoes with big bows

I’m not an especially frilly lady when it comes to my footwear, but I am loving all the wedding shoes I’m seeing these days with sassy bows on them… in some cases, BIG bows.

Witness: chunky heels. You guys, as proof of this, I present to you this photo of me on my 21st birthday, rocking some amazing white plastic chunky heels…
