As I sit here in a sarong and half-cami, in between washing dishes and getting dressed for my best friend's wedding shower, it occurs to me that now, more than ever, fashion has to be multi-purpose. Not in the style of a Norma Kamali sleeping bag coat, but multi-purpose in the sense that we all (men, women, teens, pets) need clothing that fits our needs and goes many places in a day. Just like we do.
With that said, this post will be short (previously mentioned dishes and wedding shower), so I will take a moment to give praise to a wardrobe staple no woman should ever be without, since it is the absolute definition of multi-purpose: THE BALLET FLAT. Easy to store, forever chic, and perfect with almost anything you wear, the best ones lengthen your legs without giving them the "hoof-y" look (thanks to my friend Kelly T. for that perfect term). They make walking and commuting in a city like Chicago a possibility, and they easily slip into your bag when you need to trade up to the heels.
Given the choice between a ballet flat and anti-microbial clog...ballet flats win every time.
Above fab shoe: Kenneth Cole "Ballet Parking" (my personal favorite); though it came out last season, searching for it online will lead to listings on amazon.com and zappos.com. A perfect shoe, in my book.
