Shine in Metallic Flats

By CC Staff

Standing not-quite-tall at 5’1 with a rack that would make Salma Hayek jealous, I really have no business wearing flats. Depending on the rest of my outfit, I tend to either look small and round, or impossibly top heavy and permanently on a tilt towards the ground, chest-first.

Even my closest friends have never seen me in anything resembling a sneaker, and my cute black flats tend to come out only during my commute to and from work, when heels just won’t do.But I can’t help but lust after these cute metallic flats. There’s something very unassumingly charming about them. Since flats are so inconspicuous, you can get away with a gold or silver without looking like you belong on a corner making rent money.

And I know, flats at formal events are such a fashion crime, but how nice would it be to actually be able to feel your feet after a few hours on the dance floor?

Do your best Kate Moss impression in a pair of skinny jeans with a Stuart Weitzman pointed slipper in silver. For a more formal look, pair a tea-length, full-skirt dress with dainty flats in bold color, like these Sigerson Morrison purple metallics.
