Faith's Four Favorite Flats

I love flats. I love heels too, because it’s a requirement for anyone 5 ft. 3 in. tall. But flats seem very chic to me. They never try too hard.

Here are my four favorite flats.

Loeffler Randall skull flats
These were my Holy Grail of shoes for years. They were introduced in fall/winter 2006-07. I saw them online then and died. They were so smooth and patent-y, so dangerous with the skull cutout. They were also $400, which I can never even imagine spending on shoes, so I sadly dismissed them.

A year later, I remembered them and began hunting around. They were nowhere to be found. I started checking eBay regularly. In the spring of 2009 I lost a bid for them there. Also in the spring I missed them when they were selling on Gilt in bone patent. In October 2009 another pair came up on eBay, and I didn’t wait to bid, I “bought it now” and they were on their way! I love, love, love these shoes, and wear them year-round.

Mia harem sandals
Suede. Olive green. Comfy. These are shoes that people stop me in grocery stores to comment on.

Delman Mona flats
Classic orange patent ballerina flats. I love the color, and I love these flats. Purchased new but cheap on eBay.

Belle by Sigerson Morrison knotted flats
These are my newest favorites. They’re very unique and very comfortable. They go with many of my outfits!
