Style Panel: How do you wear flats without completely dressing down an outfit?

Truth be told, I have a love/hate relationship with flats. Yes, they are comfortable but as a curvy girl, my wide feet don’t look that great in flats. As far as not completely dressing down an outfit, I would opt for pants with a straight/skinny cut that show some skin between the flats and the pants. I always opt for the pointed toe and slightly raised flat because I rely on these two features to give me a better silhouette and to create the illusion of a minimized shoe width. Flats with detail also help with keeping your outfit
somewhat fancy. Pro tip: I wore a pair of flats I snagged from a vintage store and embellished them with gold clip-on earrings to give them a little bit more character.

Mo’s wearing: Pants, blazer, earrings, necklace and shoes thrifted. T-shirt, H&M.

Gracie ruled this looks, although the other lasses look quite chic in their flats too! Great style, ladies!
