Opinions on these flats, please

Yana · Dooney & Bourke

I actually prefer the same style in blue, that color makes them look funky & hip. In black sequins ( at least on the picture), they don't look like they cost $140.

Here's a pair from Alloy for $24.90:

Thanks for the link, Becca! Those look like a good, cheaper option!

Yana - I really like the blue as well, but I mostly wear jeans and I was afraid they'd look stupid that way. Do you think they'd look okay with jeans?

Any other opinions?

Kelly · Hermes

I don't know. I think they could be cute but I think they'd only work with a small number of outfits, so if these are "back to school to wear with jeans" flats, I have to say pass.

I think you could get a similar pair for less, I dont think the sequins will be very versatile and doubt they will hold up for every day wear.

Thanks ladies! I wasn't feeling them enough for their price tag, so I'm glad I didn't jump the gun. I might get that pair Becca posted, and I'll keep my eyes out for a true back-to-school pair.

Yana · Dooney & Bourke

Yeah, I think they'd look nice with the jeans, a punch of color, it's a rather neutral blue, & will work with a variety of top colors, even prints.

I love them - I think the sequins will be hip for fall
