Ballet Flats + Clip on Earrings

Happy Monday morning!  I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day weekend!  Here in the ATL we got quite a bit of snow!  We took some great pictures of the house, but forgot to grab the camera today.  I'll have to share those soon.  MR.P and I thoroughly enjoyed watching the snow from our couch while watching a movie.  It was a great start to a really fun weekend!  We started out the weekend helping Matt's sisters move into their new house.  That was fun in the snow!  We had quite a few snowball fights in the middle of things.  Then we headed to do a little shopping at Ikea.  Once we made our way through Ikea we headed to Atlantic Station for some dinner and a little Vday shopping.  MR.P was soo sweet and got me these
(DSW is having a sale right now.  Free shipping on orders over $35...not bad!)
I don't know why I didn't have a pair of gray/silver shoes before!  I feel like they go with everything! 

I realized the other day that I am drawn more to cute flats.  Heels just aren't my thing.  So I was thinking about ways to make them a little more dressy.  Some days I feel like I want something casual and others I need a little flair!  Well clip on earrings is my solution.  You can find them anywhere.  Antique stores, Target, Macy's!  And I promise, they aren't expensive.  Etsy even has a bunch of vendors who make shoe clips. 

These are too cute from thegiltmuse.  Great for a wedding!

boldminimalist - I would wear these with a light teal or white short sleeve shirt for the spring.  I'd probably add these earrings to complete the outfit. 

starzselection - these clips are so different.  I love them!  You can wear them with anything! 

This is just another inexpensive way to spruce up an outfit.   I firmly believe you can dress well, while not breaking the bank!

Edit:
A friend and reader just emailed me a picture.  She just so happened to be wearing clip on earrings and the perfect shoes!  Look how cute her's look!!

  2. I LOVE gray shoes. I bought some cute gray flats at the gap outlet a year and a half ago. I was pregnant but wanted to buy something non-maternity I could wear later. I barely ever take them off my feet. They go with everything!! I especially love pairing them with Navy and pastel colors like light pink.

    Love the cream clips!!
