I'd been on the lookout for the perfect (ideally, cheap) gold ballet flats since I noticed my reliable ones from Shoemart—a steal, at Php 300-plus (about USD 7) years back—started to show serious signs of wear and tear. And just like the perfect blue jeans, it was a bit of a challenge finding the right pair.So I was quite thrilled today after spotting these lovely flats at CMG in Podium, at Php 799 (about USD 14!). They're just the right shade of gold, not too gawdy and not too sparkly. They come in a quaint shoe bag made from the same material with a tiny gold plate engraved with the letters C M G. Really classy. And the details are surprisingly as refined: suede lining and embossed rubber soles that complement the subtle golden hue of the shoe, the mark of well-crafted footwear.
hey mariel! i agree! cmg has some the most classic gold flats. i bought a pair last year (it was a two for one sale!) and its been a really good investment as i always ruin my shoes in the first 6 mos. have fun wearing them!
ReplyDeleteSigh! It's so tempting to get more than a pair hehe :D
