The Ballet Flat:

Ballet flats are a casual and versatile pair of shoes which are a practical choice for everyday activities like hanging out, shopping, traveling, or work. This type of shoe is influenced by the style of the soft ballet slipper but intended to be used in the casual environment and comes without a heel or a very thin heel. A few basic colors like brown metallic and black will make it possible to wear these shoes with the widest range of outfits possible.

The Strappy Heeled Sandal:

Most women have more than one style of sandal in their closet, but even if you are not a big fan, every woman should have at least one pair of strappy heeled sandals on standby. Style and heel height are up to personal preference, and in this case, color is too.

There are so many multi-colored varieties that it is possible for a really fun pair to work great with a number of clothing options. Strappy heeled sandals are the boots of spring and summertime, and they work equally well with casual and dressier styles as well as skirts and pants. Go from a dress to jeans easily and never change shoes or lose style points.
