Flat Out Cool

Sometimes, and I mean sometimes my short self neglects the skinny stiletto heel or 5 inch platform for a walk friendly flat shoe.  Of course, the problem is that I can’t always find a flat shoe that fancies me… Either they are too flat, not flat enough, or just not right PERIOD.  But, when I think about the days that I may be spending in the near future pounding the pavement or just standing more than usual I am on the hunt for some shoes that will still compliment my wardrobe and keep me stylish.

Sandals are in all of our near futures (don’t forget to paint those tooties ladies!) and will look great with everything – skirts, dresses, pants, shorts, and denim.  I am personally partial to a “substantial” sandal look as opposed to a dainty unnoticeable one this season.  I would love these black ankle sandals with leggings and a tunic for a nouveaux boho look. In keeping with the attention to ankle I also dig these gilt’ed gladiators that would be a standout paired with an all-white ensemble (or any color for that matter)… I can so picture these golden goodies, though with a flowy white sundress, and simple gold accessories!

If you truly can’t get a grasp on the in-your-face looks above, a classic flip flip with pretty embellishments may be more your speed.  I love these pictured left and can see them best paired with a simple sheath dress and cute straw satchel.  OR, don these babes with your favorite swimsuit and sarong poolside. 

Sandals aren’t the only way to flat out style… A quirky flat shoe may be all you need to max out your favorite daytime look.  I love the rainbow suede shoe featured right and would most likely match it up with ankle denim, an oversized white tank or tee, bright earrings, and perhaps a solid color (think grey) forehead headwrap.

You simply can’t escape a SJS post without a lick of leopard.  How sweet it would be to pair these lovlies with a sleek black pencil skirt and nice blouse… Oooh, La la!

For an ultra-casual cute weekend look try these bow’ed up robin’s egg blue flat sling backs.  These adorable must-haves would be the perfect punctuation for one of spring’s girly floral skirts or frocks.  Finish your look with an ultra-fem oversized straw sun hat for extra oomph!

Red is always a good shoe color choice since they go with so many things.  My favorite part of these sweet round-toed flats to the left is the Chanel-esque chain strap.  I picture these cuties with a full black and white circle skirt and simple strapless tube top. 

Flats are fabulous – buy yourself a pair and spare your feet for a day or two!

Very nice selection… now just make sure everyone with Teva’s gets a copy!… especially the one’s who wear them with socks!
