Rocket Dog wedding shoes

Every once and a while I like to dive down into one specific shoe brand to get a feel for how they might fit for all sorts of different brides. This week, it’s Rocket Dog shoes.

Of course, because it’s me, there are several rainbow-striped shoes involved… but I think what y’all are going to like best is that NONE of these shoes is over $60.
