I usually find my perfect dream shoes when least expected. Isn't that half the fun?! While waiting for gal pal last week, I saw these at the Chanel window on display. This pair of ballet flats with ribbons really brought out the inner ballerina in me. This savvy gal may not be a ballerina but looking the part will suffice. The best thing is once this ballet look is out, a gal simply removes the ribbon and we just have a simple pair of Chanel ballet flats again. This particular style without the ribbon has been around for a while so I think it is a savvy buy.
Another pair of Mary Jane was displayed right next to the ribbon ballet flats. This pair is a simple classic style which will last forever. For these simple styles, I don't mind paying full retail price which I am guessing in the high $500 to low $600 as a pair of classic ballet flats starts at around $575. I am not saying these are cheap in anyway but I have Chanel classic flats from way back which I still adore. I think it is savvier than buying something on sale which I will only use one to two seasons. Which pair do you like?
Totally love!
ReplyDeleteLOVE those with the ribbons!!!! They didnt have those in my Chanel! I actually went to try those very same mary-janes and the classic in tweed yesterday, I didnt get either in the end and got jewellery, but both were stunning. Ive had my classic for years and they still look like new, such an investment x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Unfortunately, I'm terrible with shoes (always managing to ruin them!), so I wouldn't trust myself with a $500+ pair of shoes. But a handbag? That's a completely different story!
ReplyDeleteI think those are so cute! I've always loved ballet shoes.
ReplyDeleteLove the Mary Janes, they're darling!
ReplyDeleteThose ribbon flats are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYesterday, someone asked me if I had ballet flats and I laughed out loud. I'm a heels (or really a wedge) girl only!
ReplyDeleteI am so beyond in love with the first pair, it's not even funny. xxSAS
ReplyDeleteI love the second pair! The patent leather and little buckles and just too cute. The first pair would be a good buy too, since your right, they will never go out of style.
