The Balenciaga Flat
10 years ago by
It’s sale season, okay?
I found myself on the Barney’s shoe floor (I know, stop, do not proceed, you DO NOT NEED last seasons IT shoe, you need a vacation) with three friends to cruise the sale racks. Suddenly my heart starts going faster, time slows down as I see a woman head towards what I think is a pair of Celine criss cross sandals in my size. I rush over, its a size too small. Phew. Probably too wide for my feet anyways!
After trying on several pairs of shoes that weren’t necessary (a high heel sandal with a silver chain ankle strap and a clunky plastic flat sandal) I found the pair, this pair. I’d actually been waiting for them to go on sale. And thanks to my patience, they did!
So a piece of sale season advice – Don’t get carried away by a designer shoe that is a half size too small and try to make it work. A classic shoe (even on sale!) is always worth it!

Not my intent at all to rain on your sale parade but help me. From this angle those shoes aren’t that great–vamp’s too high–needs to show some toe cleavage. You have something special in mind for the shoes that completes a look? Have you been charmed by all things Belenciaga?
ohhh lucky you! They are awesome!
