Steal:  Alexis by Saugus (as sold and featured by House of Brides).  This satin slingback with crystal beading has a heel height is 2 3/4 inches, and is dyeable. So, if you like the demure ivory of the Vera Wang, it’s still totally doable with the Alexis.  Saugus is what we used to swear by in my pageant days for their comfort, durability and look. In other words, they make a really good shoe.  Check out some of their other gorgeous designs.
