{Lucky Emmie Ballet Flat $59}
{Cole Haan Air Bacara Ballet $148}
{Frye Carson Ballet $148}
I have a shoe dilemma. I need a new pair of ballet flats. I'm trying to decide between these three pairs. I saw someone wearing the Cole Haans & fell in love with them because they're equal parts black & gunmetal grey (they're not as shiny in person as they are in the picture). She said that yes, the Cole Haans are pricey, but they last for years. I found them at Macy's, for $148, & didn't buy them. Instead I bought the pair of Luckys for $59. But I don't love the Luckys. I've had them for 2-ish weeks & haven't even taken them out of the box. I think I need the Cole Haans. But I'm not a person who buys $148 shoes. Ever.
If I am a person who spends $148 on shoes, maybe I should buy the Fryes. I have a pair of Frye boots that will probably outlive me. But Frye doesn't offer a metallic & I've really got my eye on metallic.
If I get a job, I'm buying the Cole Haans.
P.S. Here's a pic of my teeny tiny, baby foot in the Lucky ballet flats. See? Underwhelming.

I love ballet flats! The Frye ones look cool
Go with the Cole Haan. I have a few pairs of Tory Burch ballet flats that I LOVR! They are totally worth the money.
Libby: The Frye ones do look really cool, even more so in a better pic, but I think I want a metallic. If I win the lottery, I'll buy the Frye ones in black & the Cole Haan ones in silver/grey.
Thanks, Sarah. That's what I'm thinking, too.
If you want comfortable metallic flats but don't want to spend a lot, try these at The Loft: http://www.loft.com/loft/product/product%3A186052/LOFT-Shoes/Cap-Toe-Ballet-Flat/186052?colorExplode=true&skuId=90035159&catid=cat550056&productPageType=fullPriceProducts&defaultColor=7124
I have them in brown/black. They feel like slippers. I don't know if they'll last forever, but they're pretty cheap.
Thanks, Loren! My friend Baylor told me about these, too. I've got to drive to Cool Springs to get them, but I probably will.
Did you get your regular size? I heard to get a size up...
I got my regular size, but I could probably wear a half size up. They can be a little tight in toe when you wear them all day, but they're still more comfortable than just about anything I've got right now.
10-4. Thanks, Loren!
