The New Loafer: A Flat Shoe Me and My Closet Can Both Love
I’m calling it the return of the cool girl flat. A penny loafer turned bad ass is the only way to describe it and it is breathing new life into the ever -desperate “Flats” section of my shoe closet.
I have repeatedly tried to wear ballet flats ranging from one side of the money spectrum to the next, but alas, it is not meant to be. Ballet flats and me seem to have a serious personality conflict. I want to look cool, and they make me look the exact opposite.
But, the return of this loafer (or the popularity of it since it never really left) has brought me new hope to wearing flats again. It’s studded and satin and if there was ever a flat my wardrobe could agree with, it would be this one.
- Sam Edelman Adena Gunmetal Loafer
The Adena studded loafer from Sam Edelman is beyond the coolest flat I have ever seen and has answered my prayers for ever owning/wearing a balletesque type flat again. I am obsessed with the Gunmetal, but the Black or the Rosegold would be just as amazing.
I’m already planning my sock choices! How about some argyles or maybe some patterned tights from Happy Socks? And I think these DVF Naples Trousers in Lipstick will be a chic way to show my new found love of flats; flats that I can finally wear. . . my way.

I love these. Totally digging loafers for fall… so many good ones! I wore my leopard ones today – they are so fun!

Oh, I am dying for a leopard pair too! I am not a flats girl, but these loafers are getting to me. Love. Thanks for commenting.
