Reader Barbara wrote in to our 10 Outfits for 10 Occasions contest for advice to a common problem. She loves her strappy heels, especially when dressing up for New Year's Eve, but feels uncomfortable when she's taller than her boyfriend. Luckily there is no shortage of fancy flats out there this holiday season. So, while we concentrate on a Miu Miu pair as part of our outfit, we'll also give you options at a few different price points. Barbara mentioned sequined cocktail dresses, so we chose this Stenay sequin dress from Nordstrom for $228 to start off this outfit.
These fantasy crystal embellished flats are from Miu Miu and will set you back $540, but look how adorable they are! The other accessories for this outfit include Lee Angel crystal drop earrings, $160, a snake envelope clutch from ASOS on sale for $17.93, and a $48 oval ring from Banana Republic.
These mid-priced flats ring up to $148. The Frye Clementine Skimmer is also available in gold and black and would make a perfect casual-to-dressy shoe. I can see these with jeans or a cocktail dress.
These cheaper flats, only $31.38 at ASOS, would also be really versatile. The soft leather flat has an elastic band in a Mary Jane style over the foot, and a bold jeweled accent.
You can still enter the contest to win a Chloe & Reese dress, a The Sak handbag, or a dinner at Bruno Jamais.
