What A Girl Wants...

I have been thinking a lot recently about keeping a really great versatile pair of heels in my car (or office) - so that where ever I go, I can get dressed up in a jiffy if need be. You know those times, when you unexpectedly end up going to an event where you want to look extra cute - but your comfy flats just aren't cutting it.

So this go-to pair would have to be really wearable, with possibilities to match almost any outfit and provide elegance for a fairly formal function or an extra pop on a blah errand-running ensemble.

I still haven't really found a perfect pair - but I am considering a few different criteria. These shoes must be a neutral color to go with anything. It seems to me that a nude, metallic, grey, or bold color (like bright green or yellow!) would be the best choices. I feel like a classic shape would be best - maybe a nice peep-toe pump? Although this could limit things if you were in dire need of a pedi... hmm... I guess I'll just have to make sure I keep my tootsies in good shape ;) The shoes would also have to be made of a fairly wearable material - no satin or suede in case there is inclimate weather. The heel would have to not be too TOO high, in case a bit a walking was involved.

So I have hunted down the best styles and this is what I've come up with:

What Would You Spend More On? Flats vs Heels

Well it has been quite a while hasn't it!

However, I'm back and plan on blogging much more regularly.

Recently I have fallen head over heels - well not exactly heels - in love with Mo, a super cute flat sandal from Claudia Ciuti. Bows get me every time!

As a little preface, I'm a true high heel lover and I firmly believe in the policy that higher is always better. But in real life things just don't work out that way because its impossible to wear 4 inchers all the time! Long ago I began looking for more practical footwear options and I've found a plethora of fabulous ballet flats - but then winter turned to summer and once again I need some sensible, yet summery options. I'm not a big fan of flip-flops and I wanted something a bit dressier...

I believe Mo is the answer! However, there is one outstanding problem... Mo is a little pricey for a girl on a budget!

I know I would get much more wear out of this shoe than almost all of my sky-high heels because they are so practical, but somewhere in my silly mind I am much more inclined to spend a lot on the ultimate, sexy pair of heels than a pair of sandal flats.

What do you think? Would you spend more on a practical and cute pair of flats that you would get a ton of wear out of or a fun, flawless high heel that you could only wear a few times a month?
