Now that it’s finally starting to feel like spring around these parts, I’m ready to kick the pants, sweaters, and boots to the curb. I’m loving all the feminine floral prints I’ve been seeing everywhere, and those are pretty high on my shopping list. For now, though, my first order of business was new black flats to start the season. I ended up getting this ankle-tie version, but I’m currently in love with lace up ballet flats in any form! I’ve collected a few pretty basic black ones in the list here, organized from splurge to steal so there’s something for every budget!
