I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I'm a heel girl. I love heels. I wear them almost everywhere and have been wearing them for years, so when it comes to a good pair of high heels, I'm pretty fearless. Now when we're talking about flat shoes, I tend to avoid them unless there's no way I can make it running around New York in even my most comfortable pair of heels. But lately, I've had a change of heart. As summer rolls around, I have pledged to myself that I will start to embrace the world of flat shoes and try being my actual height for once. Since having this revelation, I have been shopping for flat shoes like crazy. Luckily for me, my go-to retailers for heels also make flat shoes that I can add to my collection.
