Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-Ballet Flats

One would think that with the arrival of April in the northern hemisphere, we would start experiencing some springlike temperatures perfect for switching out our footwear from winter boots to something less bulky…like Ballet Flats or Ballerina Shoes. But it is still very much winter-like where I live. In an attempt to make it feel more like spring, we have chosen this lightweight footwear style as the prompt for April’s Good Buy/Good-Bye Book.

What is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book?

The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book is a monthly series hosted by Nancy of Nancy’s Fashion Style and myself. Every month, we invite you to share a photo or two of your Good (or Bad) Buy items that fit the stated theme. We ask that you also provide a short description explaining if the item you are sharing was a Good Buy or one that you will be saying Good-Bye to (formerly known as Bad Buys). Nancy and I will both publish a round up post featuring all of the submissions on the 15th of each month.

Anyone who would like to participate and be featured can send us their photos with a short description via email. You do not have to be a blogger to join. Anyone is welcome! We will give you the theme for the next month at the conclusion of each post. Photos will be due to us by the 10th of the month.

So won’t you please join us for April by sending some photos and descriptions of your favorite (or least favorite) Ballet Flats or Ballerina Shoes to shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com or to info@nancysfashionstyle.com by April 10, 2023. You are welcome to submit more than one photo if you would like features on both of our blogs.  

I have always like the dainty feminine style of flat ballerina inspired shoes, but I have never really found this style of footwear to be very comfortable on my concrete caressers. However, that has not stopped me from purchasing many pairs of ballerina shoes over the years. And while I don’t really wear them much, I haven’t yet cleaned out my massive shoe collection. I am hoping this post is enough to motivate me to action and rid myself of the things I no longer want or need. But before I get to the clean out, let’s have a look at some of the ballet flats that I have worn over the years…mostly in complete discomfort.

Green Floral Ballet Flats

Black Lace Up Ballet Flats

Black Velvet Ballet Flats

Red Lace Up Ballet Flats

Red Pointed Toe Ballet Flats

Black Bow Ballet Flats

Black Ballet Flats with Patent Toe Cap

Pale Blue Lace Up Ballet Flats

As you can see, I wore ballet flats much more often in the first few years of my blog and not so much anymore. I hope this little round up of ballerina shoes has inspired you to join us this month for a fun fashion gallery of flat footwear. Remember to send us your photos by April 10 to be included in our post.

Keeping it on the edge,
