on the hunt for cute & comfy flats!

May 31, 2007 at 9:00AM by Jill Percia |

I'm one of those girls that flip-flops her way down the street almost every day of the year, provided there is no snow or sleet on the ground and it's not 20 degrees. Flip-flops are really amazing shoes, if you think about it. It's easy to find a cheap pair that's cute and comfortable. Plus, they last a crazy long time, even if you wear them every day (don't know how they manage to make them so darn sturdy!) In fact, my two favorite pairs ever are from Target and Payless. Talk about a bargain!

As much as I adore effortlessly sliding my way into a pair of these things every morning, I think the time has come to break the habit...the flip-flop habit, that is. Don't get me wrong, they're still great and perfect for the beach, for weekends, and even for walking the 15 blocks (wahh!) from my house to the train every day, but when I'm in the office I want a pair of shoes that make a little less noise. Know what I mean? And they are just a tad too casual for the CG! offices. Don't get me wrong, we are a casual bunch but rubber flip flops just don't work for work. Since my entire shoe wardrobe consists of 4-inch heels and super flat shoes (nothing in between), I want your help! I know you girls love to shop til you drop, so you can definitely give me some great suggestions. Where can I get a cute, comfy, wear-with-almost-everything pair of flats? Do you have a pair? If so, post below to let me know where you snagged them. And since I don't have a money tree in my yard (heck, I don't even have a yard!), nothing over $100, please!

Love,
