I miss ballet. A few years ago I took an adult class and it was so much more fun than when I was young. No scary ballet mistress yelling at me to point my toes, lift my chin, stop talking to my friends… One of these days (maybe when the kid starts school?) I’ll take up dance again, but until then I’ll just dress the part.
By Slow and Steady Wins the Race: a postmodern antidote to sweet and demure.
Round-toed, pewter flats are a staple in my closet: in the winter (or what constitutes winter in Florida), they go with skinny or wide-legged jeans; in the summer, they look cute with short, full skirts. Thing is, flats in this particular color and style are particularly hard to find–they’re either too shiny, too cheap-looking, or too gold. I’ve tried every brand known to human kind, and my conclusion is that arch support is negligible (and easily fixable with inserts), so inexpensive pairs are just as good as pricey ones.
So go, go, go and buy these Mossimo faux-leather ballet flats, before they disappear. They’re decently comfy, especially with new insoles, cut so that even big feet (ahem) look small, and a perfectly golden shade of silver. (What? Strange, I know.) At $12.99, they’re a steal, even if you do have to spend a few extra dollars to beef up the instep.
