Flats & The “City Girl” Trick

Photo by FredArmitage

Posts about flats on B&B are not few and far between… But there’s something to be said about the value they hold to city girls. Particularly the girls who work office jobs, or have some type of job that deems their work attire “high heel appropriate” who need to look great at work, but not kill their arches and ankles hiking up city streets to transportation vehicles.

That’s where I find extreme solace in the portable flat. These flats are comfortable, slim, flexible and, if you’re lucky (or here), attractive, too!

Best part? They’re all under $50! I know how you guys love that stuff. <3

Qualifications for Portable Flats:

  • Slim in height (for easy purse-fitting)
  • Flexible enough to walk up hills, down hills, over hills, up stairs, etc…
  • Neutral colored, for maximum “go-with-ed-ness”
  • Comfy, of course!

Here are some options for those walkin’ city girls:
