$10 Sundays: Navy Blue Flats

I was actually going to skip this week's $10 Sunday, since I haven't really been wearing too much makeup this week. I've been in the OR and haven't been wearing ANY makeup since it would just streak off my face from the face masks, which would look even worse than a bare face. So yep, have been going totally au naturel in the makeup department for the past week! Therefore, when I was at Target this morning, I figured I would just skip today's $10 Sunday and save some money. However, I was super happy to see that a lot of the shoes at Target were 50% off! Now I've been wearing the same flats for several years now and a lot of them have become mega torn up and required trashing. I've bought several new pairs of flats this year to replace my old ones, but since a lot of cute flats were on sale at Target today, I decided to pick up another pair to add to my (new) shoe collection.

Now I'm usually the kind of person who hates Target shoes. I've bought several pairs of Mossimo flats before and they've fallen apart within a few months. However, I have purchased a pair of Merona flats before, which hold up pretty well and last several years. While they're no Tory Burch or heck even Nine West flats, the Merona shoes are pretty good quality for what you pay. I bought a pair of black Nine West ballet flats recently (mainly for work), but I wanted to pick up another pair of ballet flats for more casual settings and for everyday wear. The Merona Madeline ballet flats are beautiful, sophisticated, work-appropriate, appear to be sturdy, and the best part is that I only paid $9.98 for them! I am a little worried that I'll have trouble coordinating them with my outfits, but I own quite a few pieces of blue clothing so it shouldn't be too big of a problem. They also had a beige color in this style, but I opted for the navy blue pair since white flats get incredibly dirty and I didn't want to deal with that.

So yes, I think this week's purchase was an amazing deal and it's going to come in very handy during the spring and summer season! I absolutely love flats, and definitely needed a new pair since all my old flats have fallen apart. Although it's a navy colored shoe, I definitely think I can make it work with a neutral outfit, or with navy blue accents.
