An Under Appreciated Essential- Leopard Flats

The other day, I was in a restaurant and I looked around to see if anyone was wearing something cute. This one woman's outfit caught my eye. She was wearing a chiffon tiered dress (I know this sounds weird, but trust me, it looked put together) and simple leopard flats. That's when I thought to myself, why be boring and only wear the safe, plain black flat when you could add personality and character to an outfit with a pair of leopard flats? You could wear them with virtually everything from a dress to black leggings, blue jeans or even an American Apparel skirt. I looked around for some reasonable, cute flats and here are my favorites:

These ones are from DSW. Also the gathering on the back of the shoe makes them blister free:) and comfy. They may not be the best quality, but they're cute, and for 40$ they're a cheap and a basic addition to any wardrobe.

These Ann Taylor flats are my favorite. The patent leather trim and the rounded square toe make these flats very sophisticated while the contrasting leopard print gives them a fun look. I like the way the dark spots pop off the lighter calfhair background too. Also these are $160, the use you could get out of these incredibly comfy and stylish flats makes them definitely worth it.

These flats, unlike the other ones, are patent leather rather than animal hair. Also, these are stretchy with an elasticized top line and can adjust to your foot better. These are basically the exact opposite of the Ann Taylor flats so it really depends on your style and wardrobe. They are on sale for $175 at Zappos, by Elie Tahari.

These shoes are fun, elegant and the interesting way to wear flats with an everyday outfit.

P.S. Thank you, random leopard flat woman, for giving me this idea:)
