Here are some adorbz flats in ascending order of expensivity.
($14.99, Anne Michelle, CutesyShoes.com)
They don't come more basic than this. Sure they're super cheap and aren't real leather, but you know Urbs would be selling the same shit for like $58. And I like that they have a sorta classic cut.
($16.99, Michael Antonio, CutesyShoes.com)
I LOOOOOVE the little button detail (I know, once again, total hypocrite w/ the patent leather). It's SO Eloise.
($17, Classified, LulusFashionLounge.com)
HOW cute are these going to be with yellow?? (VERY cute is the answer.)
($22, Torrid.com)
Also would make a darling complement to anything yellow and spring-y. And these are a great to way to do the stripey shoe thing without looking too junior-high sneakery. Here they are also, but for more expensive. I like the smaller stripes better, hombre.
($44, Restricted, Flipfloptrunkshow.com) I don't know why, but I'm drawn to these. They look super comfy, and I like the toe reinforcement.
($28, Torrid.com)
I sorta even want these for fall.
($34, TUK, SkateAmerica.com)
Come on. Houndstooth = adorbsies. And they're vegan too (she says, as she snacks on manchego before her dinner of merguez.)
($48, BC Footwear, LoveMyShoes.com)
It's sort of against my better judgement that I recommend these shoes, since I love both of these color combos.
($51, BC Footwear, Flipfloptrunkshow.com)
Black + knotted = classic for realzies.
($58, FreePeople.com)
While I fault Urban/FreePeople/Anthropologie for basically getting away with highway robbery, I'm once again giving into my totally hypocritical side soley (har) because I love the lavendar, green and grey colors.
($59.95, Naughty Monkey, Amazon.com)
Hi! And welcome back to "Tamron Lohan's Hour of Questionable Judgement!" Sigh. Monkey tired.
($62, Seychelles, LulusFashionLounge.com)
I don't think I need to even explain why these rule. Besides. I'm TIRED of constantly defending myself and my actions, OKAY?
($62.95, Jeffrey Campbell, Nordstrom.com)
Love these in fuschia and in green.
($66, Steve Madden, LulusFashionLounge.com)
Usually all-white shoes are best left to the ice cream man, but these are vintage-looking enough to make them okay. Plus they look like they'd still be cute even when they get dusty and dirty.
($69.98, Jeffrey Campbell, LoveMyShoes.com)
I was sorta not so into the Chinese symbol style of this variety of flat, but I kinda love it in fleur de lis, since I do indeed love fleur de lis. (No offense to Chinese people.) Here they also are, but more expensive. And here are a few more styles, but I don't think I could patronize a shop that spells "patent" "pantent."
($69, Luiza Barcelos, Flipfloptrunkshow.com)
I sorta do like the seafaring vibe of these fun flats. Especially if you're keeping it chill on top and aren't like, wearing a ring buoy around your waist or something.
($79, Steve Madden, HouseofStyle.com)
Cute and classic.
And now it's time for a section that I like to call...
THINGS I ALMOST BOUGHT WHILE LOOKING FOR CUTE SHOES
($9, Torrid.com)
I'm not a big fan of larger posts, but the danglies are so cute.
($17.98, Torrid.com)
Another cute item that Urban would totes gouge. But it is a bit young.
($12.98, Torrid.com)
I know this is best left to the type of girl who'd wait in line 4 hours in the rain for AFI tickets, but waaaahhhh! It's cute!
($17.98, Torrid.com)
Love the color. And the heart is understated enough.
And finally... here's a completely vile pair of boots:
($94.99, Kenzie. Piperlime.com)
Uh, there's a reason they took over $100 off of these b'fugly boots. It's because they're absolutely atrocious.
