Style File – New Black Flats

Before the holidays, I mentioned that I was in need of new black flats. My old ones were majorly scratched and abraded. They were so stretched out that sometimes they would slip off my foot as I was walking. They were beyond salvageable.

So I had my eye out for a new pair. When I saw that Gilt.com had a Pour La Victore flash sale, I came across these Adeanna Flats. I used the Christmas money my grandparents gave me (thanks Grandma and Dziadzia!) on them.

I love these shoes. They run small, so I had to trade my normal 6.5 size for size 7. The insole has a comfortable cushion under the ball of the foot. The black leather is stiff, which gives them a structured look. Unfortunately that firm leather doesn’t have much give, so it’s taking a little bit of time to break them in.

These flats have worked their way into my daily wardrobe. On Friday, I wore them with a red Eddie Bauer turtleneck, Shelter Protects You belt, Asos black skirt, and Calvin Klein nylons.

On an unrelated note, you may notice a few changes to this site. Pink Slip Industries gave it a little makeover, so there is new menu bar, Recent Favorite Posts section in the right column, and other little tweaks. Also, my husband Travis shot a new portrait of me with my updated hairstyle. Hope you like the new additions!
