Not your mama's flats

What (thirty something) mom doesn't want to be comfortable and stylish? I've decided that 2009 is the year I'm making myself over.
No more maternity clothes for me, it's time to get a new look.
One that is hip, comfortable and practical; Because after all, I do love my day (and night) job.

I wanted to share with two of my recent shoe purchases.
They fit the bill and dress up my jeans and t-shirt look just enough to make me hip.
But I can still run, skip, hop, and get on the floor with the best of them.

Lanvin Jeweled bow ballet flat in Navy from Barney's
I just feel gorgeous wearing these. They are perfection for the feet and amazingly comfortable. I can see why they are a celebrity favorite. But I won't hold that against them. They come in a range of colors in a basic simple unadorned design. But for my first purchase I had to go with the jeweled ones.









Studded ballet slippers in black from Bona Drag.
I wasn't sure I could pull these off at first. It was really stretching it for me as I usually lean towards the more classic---but I did say I wanted a makeover, so that means trying something new and have I mentioned how comfortable these are? Don't wear them out in wet weather though. They are crafted from real ballet shoes with soft soles.

Just call me Madonna. I'm making myself over.

I used to be a ballerina (until I got married :) I need to have those shoes! I hope they sell some like it at DSW because I got a gift card for Christmas, yay!

And you are going to be such a hip Maddona! But leave the cone bra at home k?


(Luckily retarded toes are NOT genetic, I checked Brolan and he's perfect!)
