Meet My Solemates

During high school I would never wear flats in public because I felt painfully shy about my height or lack thereof.  I became a slave exclusively for wedges and high heel boots rain or shine.  Not only did a few inches from my shoes literally lift me up, they also boosted my confidence.  The only time I wore tennis shoes was for P.E. 

I was fearful of wearing flats like having belly fat in my adolescent years.  However, I've become more comfortable in my own skin  as I get older.  I used to wear my favorite 3-inch wedges when going shopping.  Like any other shopaholic mortals, my feet would get hurt after a few hours of walking even in the most comfortable wedges.  Thus, I've been hunting for fashionable flats that I can wear for comfort when going for long hours of shopping.  Now I would rather let my wallet suffer instead of my feet.

My eternal quest for flats is officially over (at least this year).  After trying on 10 pairs of flats at Nordstrom Rack, I finally found 3 pairs that meet my shoe shopping standards: pretty, walkable, and affordable.  Besides casual flip flops, fashionable flats are my #I solemates.

Suede Flats: Ruby & Bloom-- leather upper & sole.  Original Price: $80.  I got the black & eggplant pairs for $15 each.  I normally don't purchase the same item in multiples because the item won't feel as special.  But I would never forgive myself for passing this bargain offer.   

Suede Moccasin Flat: Me Too--upper leather, man-made sole 

Original Price: $92.  Although I got it for $50, which is expensive for discounted price, I love the softness against my skin. 

Even though I'm eggcited to debut my new flats on the next shopping spree, my favorite 3-inch wedges shall remain a special place in my heart & closet.
