Ok, so I'm sure that when you see this Lanvin flat you're not like- OH! I have to have it! It's so different and special! But... I'm here to make an argument for it's case.
I'm not the kinda girl you'll see in a pair of flip flops unless I've just come from getting a pedi. In California, they're worn all year long, all over. Not just to the beach, but to dinner and even bars. I hate them and I think they look sloppy and very "un-shoe girl". Please don't get me wrong, I know many, if not most of you live in your flip flops. I'm just saying that they are not for me. My alternative? The simple black flat. Not just any flat, the softest most comfortable flat I've ever owned.
They are overpriced. I know this. It took me a few months to decide to go for them. I even bought them once and returned them thinking to myself, "I can't spend THAT on a plain ass leather flat!" But finally, I did. How much? Well, $530 from Barney's. Yea, yikes. But I honestly think they were a great buy. I wear them almost every day when I'm running around and I don't want to be in heels. They are super comfy and I love the hidden wedge in the back. It's a little 3/4" height boost ;) I love them so much that I think I'll get a second pair in a sexy nude color.

I couldn't agree more. I HATE filp-flops. I don't feel cute wearing them. I only wear them to yoga (cuz I take them off the second I get there) and also when I have just gotten a pedi. I hate them and don't think look good with anything I wear.
I love wearing the ballet flats. I really like the pair you are talking about, but I think my husband would not be happy with that purchase.
wearin' flats instead of flip-flops is like having nice teeth... it just finishes you off in such a more refined way.
BTW i did see major flip-floppage (with denim) when we went out this weekend ~BARF who wears flip flops going out? c'mon girls god gave you legs to hook the boys in... use them!
of course, what was i doing going out?!
I think flats are really cute, but my feet don't like to be confined. Therefore, I wear flip-flops all the time, don't worry, they match my outfits. But wearing flip flops to go out? No no no.
this is why i dont like going out in OC..everyone is in flipflops everywhere!!!...WHY!..i mean i love flipflops but i only wear them when i walk outside to get the mail or water the garden..seriously..i never understood why people wore flipflops to bars..
where i'm from (Canada), pretty much everyone wears flip flops casually as soon as the weather is nice. I'm guilty for wearing flip flops for almost every occasion in the summer, except for dressy events of course.
I envy regions where it's summer weather all year round!! try having 3-4 months of winter weather and then you'll appreciate flip flops LOL!!
While I can't afford to pay that much for shoes right now it's great to hear that they're worth the high price.
After reading your post they're definitley on my "Some Day..." list :)
