fancy flats


Last night a friend's birthday party with a "dress to impress but in a casual way" dress code had me trying on at least a dozen outfits. And I still got it wrong! This morning I came across this image and it made me think that next time I'll dress around a pair of fancy flats, like the Valentino pair, above. (I also LOVE this sandal version.) These flashy shoes bridge the casual-impressive gap with their easy-breezy flatness and dazzling embellishment. And wearing them means I can keep the rest of my outfit pretty simple. I'm thinking one of these head-turners from Guiseppe Zanotti, Tabitha Simmons, or J.Crew could pull of the trick!

I'm a huge fan of flats -- for both day and night. The right pair looks perfectly chic for cocktail hour.

Beautiful. The bag as well! Do you know who makes it?

Speaking of missing the mark...I am headed to a lobster bake in a few weeks. What do you suggest? We live on the East Coast so it could be chilly.

The bag is by Chloe (circa 2010). So good!
