Introducing: Fashionistas in Flats!

I have a confession to make…I LOVE shoes! Shoe shopping is one of my favorite kinds of retail therapy, and I love seeing what new trends come out each season. But, if you look in my closet, you won’t see many pairs of heels. This is because I have fairly flat and sensitive feet that suffer extreme pain if subjected to heels for too long. Although I sometimes wish I could rock them, especially as a petite woman, I have truly come to love flats. Unfortunately, I think flats get a bad rap. The assumption is that they’re not as chic, sexy or beautiful as heels, but I beg to differ.  A great pair of flats can absolutely make an outfit, just see below.

You don’t have to take my word for it. Today, I am (jumping up and down) excited to introduce a series called Fashionistas in Flats! I have reached out to my favorite fashion bloggers and stylish friends and asked them to join me in showing the women of the world that they have options when it comes to shoes. Every Wednesday, I will be featuring different fashionistas who love flats just as much (if not more) than their sky-high heels. They will show you and tell you why wearing flats is a great style option. Make sure you subscribe via RSS or Bloglovin’…you’re not going to want to miss a single post!

    These are adorable! I love coloured shoes, and I love that these ones are pointy. I need to find a pair for work like that. they just look more dressy (must be the point)

    • Thank you! The pictures didn’t come out as well as I would have liked, but I’m glad you got a sense of the shoes. I used to be wary of pointed toe shoes, but now I really like them!

  3. I have to wear flats, too… ALL the time. I have made exceptions rarely for wedges and short heels in the past few months, which always leaves me in ankle, knee, hip, and back pain. Seriously… I need more flats!!!

    I can’t wait to read this series! – I’m a brand new follower. 😉

      • I’m a heels lover at heart but my joints think otherwise. I’m really looking forward to seeing these posts because I hardly own any flats and now that’s really all I’m “allowed” to wear!
