Embellished Flats

I personally love wearing heels. I am used to them, they make my legs look longer, etc. But this season's embellished flats have endeared themselves to me. I love the sparkling details.

This Oscar de la Renta linen slide looks like the epitome of spring-time comfort. It can be worn into the summer and paired with shorts for a dressed-up casual look.

The final pair is by Irregular Choice. They are actually classified as "pumps" but the heel is tiny, so I've included them with the other flats. I love the green glitter.
