Just as a great pair of versatile sandals are essential to styling oneself through summer, I’ve found a perfect pair of ballet flats to be of paramount importance when transitioning into the cooler months of autumn and winter. The problem I always come across? Finding a pair that is neutral enough to work with all sorts of ensembles without being snooze-inducingly boring.

(Because really… if there’s one word I don’t ever want used to characterize my wardrobe, it’s boring. Who’s with me?)

That, my friends, is why I’m so excited to be  partnering with Nordstrom today to bring you the prettiest solution… this Cinderella-worthy pair of gold Tory Burch ballet flats! Let’s just take a moment to soak in the fairy tale-like beauty of these babies, shall we?

I have never seen a metallic flat executed quite as beautifully as this pair, as finding a gold that isn’t too orangey or cheap looking is tricky, friends. I’m amazed at how perfect this pale, glistening hue is… perfect for pairing with everything a neutral, casual outfit like the one I’m wearing above, to a little black dress, to a pink sweater and beyond! Not to mention, these are also season-less, and can be worn all through fall and winter and straight into spring and summer.

Because of their incredible versatility, the timeless style of this ballet flat and the gorgeous quality Tory Burch brings to each of their pieces, this is one higher-priced item I know I’ll be getting use out of for years to come. (Yes, years!)

And want to know what’s even sweeter? The fact that these beauties are currently 33% off at Nordstrom! That’s one reason I love shopping for Tory Burch at Nordstrom… they always have the best selections (these flats are only carried at Nordstrom) and even better mark downs! Plus, free shipping both ways means you never have to sweat it when it comes to big decisions like this. Returns are a breeze!
