Flatting?

Yes, it is another shoe post from me.

Lets talk flats, I need some serious help. Until pregnancy & motherhood, I was a high heel kind of girl. Day and night I really just wore heels. Being short, unless you are Eva Longoria Parker then you have to wear heels or you look stumpy and squat.

Anyway these days I really need to wear flats, pushing a pram or chasing a toddler doesn't quite work with heels. I'm a big fan of ballet flats but they don't work with a lot of dresses and skirts. I like my pretty sandals but they only work with summery dresses and skirts.

So for those that wear flats, what would you suggest I wear with, say this dress here:


It is the classic DVF wrap, this print is Boko sort of a charcoal/purple/grey mix. Because I am not tall the flounce ends below the knee. If I wear ballet flats my calves look about 1 inch long. Sandals don't work because it looks like a wintery dress.

I wonder what Lorelai wore on her feet with this dress, probably heels.



I love my DVF wrap dresses, but now I have to wear flats I am struggling with footwear. The Boko is really pretty but I'm not able to wear it, it hangs limply in my wardrobe.
