Style Essentials: Ode to Flats

Since this has been a strange winter filled with random warm days and spring is just right around the corner, I am super excited to start wearing flats again. I know I'm short (4'11 1/2" over here!) so I probably should invest in heels a little bit more but the truth is, I love flats best. They're more comfortable, which is important because I walk around the city quite a bit, and there are just so many cute options. I mean, what can I say? I'm a total sucker for a ballet flat.

Here are some that I already own and love, some I want to add to my collection and others that I just like to admire online because I am not prepared to pay that much money.

HAVE & LOVE

J.Crew Gemma Leopard flats 

Express lace-up flats 

Lucky Brand Emmie flats (I'm on my second pair!)

 Steve Madden loafer

WANT

Nanette by Ariel Slingback flats 

 J.Crew Audrey flats (big fan of their flats!)

Sam Edelman Felicia Ballet flat

LUST

Chanel lambskin ballerinas (#1 on my shoes lust list)

Valentino Rockstud ballerina flat

AGL ballerina flat**

Margaux the classic (more affordable compared to the others!)

 **I have splurged on these once and wore them so often that after a few years I wore a hole into the bottom. It pained me to throw them out but I've often considered buying another pair. SO SO SO comfortable.
