taking the flat path…

as much as i love heels the truth is they don’t love me. i have very weak ankles and usually can only manage to rock wedge or block heels successfully..

and by successfully i mean without being completely miserable or risking bodily harm and becoming one with the pavement.

and i run around so much, that traipsing in heels would just be so impractical anyway…so flats are the shoe de rigueur in my world.

last summer i lucked up on a couple of pairs of flats (from nine west and l.e.i) that i loved and i have pretty much worn them to death, so i recently purchased a couple of simple ballet flats…

i got a both basic black suede and a pony hair animal print from here (which has sold out since i purchased it at the beginning of february but they have like 20 other colors).

i love the straps especially…

one thing to note, i am finding that with ballet flats i have to size up a 1/2 size and go with the wide width although normally in other types of shoes i do not.
