Being fashionable is pricey

While running a work errand the other day (one that allowed for me to walk) I realized I needed new flats for this summer.

Something simple, preferably metallic in color, flat (my job's not as dressy as my previous one), and comfortable.

I settled on these.

Then I let C know that should be find an extra $185 in our bank account, I'd like a pair.

Needless to say, I'm not holding my breath that my feet will be the proud owner of a pair of Tieks, so I need some cheaper options.  Any ideas?
