I Like... Ballet Flats & I Cannot Lie!







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...

Loren said...

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!
