"I’m not much of a flats girlie, but if there was a brand that could ever convert me, it’s Dear Frances. I love a heel for the drama and elegance it lends to an outfit, but you can’t argue with the comfort and practicality of a flat. The brand’s bestselling Balla flat is a fashion editor favorite, and it epitomizes Dear Frances’ mastery of chic yet wearable, impeccably made accessories.
"I've been seeing mesh flats everywhere, and as a flat shoe girl, I jumped at the chance to try a pair myself. The first thing I noticed about this pair from Dear Frances was just how high quality and lightweight they seemed. I pulled them out of the box and noticed the sweet tiny leather trim at the ankle; it felt buttery soft to the touch.
"I’ve always been the type of person who refuses to take off their heels at special occasions, like weddings and Sweet 16's, to change into comfy, funky socks. I’d truthfully rather get blisters than be caught in socks on the dance floor. But I’ve realized that the better solution to stylishly suffering in heels all night may be slipping into a pair of elevated ballet flats.
"These flats are obviously more comfortable than many of my heels, but they’re honestly even fancier than some of them, too. I also appreciate that the sheer black mesh is dark enough that you can’t tell whether I have a fresh pedicure or not. While I haven’t had the chance to wear them out yet, I’m 100% going to pack my Balla Crystal flats, which are pretty flexible and could definitely fit into a large cocktail purse, to my next party.
