A warning on Charlotte Russe shoes: they tend to run at least 1 size large.  If you have small feet, a size 7 or less, *make sure you try the shoe on.* I wear a size 6, and I can’t even buy shoes there because they don’t have enough sizes below that to compensate.

Also, if you live in the south or are comfortable buying shoes online, check out Bealls (http://www.bealls.com/).  They have a couple pairs of sexy heels for about $25.  One style’s got gorgeous rhinestones on the strap, and looks like that kind you’d pay $150 for at Macy’s.  Their sizes are pretty standard, but if you have a range that you usually buy in, err toward the smaller.

That first pair, from Payless, is really cute. I noticed that there are silver and gold choices, and (judging from the photos on the website at least,) the gold pair appears to be a nice muted gold/nude color (not a tacky, yellowy gold).

They also look like the heel is a bit lower than some of the others, which can be a lifesaver after a couple hours of socializing and dancing.

Dang, too bad I’m way past my prom days; I’d love to have an excuse to pick up those shoes!
