Review: Zara Ballerina With Ankle Strap

At first glance one can immediately tell that there is something magical about these ballerina flats.  They aren't your average shoes that you can pick up from the nearest Payless.  They are unique in every way, the look channels a time of subtle sexiness from the 1920's, with nude colors and eye-catching gems that flaunt your legs.  Whenever I close the ankle clasp I immediately have a new sense of identity.  Gone is the dorky suburban raised girl and instead there is a new me, there is an essence of Daisy Buchanan from The Great Gatsby.  If I am ever in need of a pick me up, my go to is a swipe of Chanel Rose Comete lipstick and these glimmering flats, within moments my spirits are raised.  Which is quite ridiculous honestly!

On another note, these beauties are composed of almost all goat leather.  This was my first purchase from Zara that was of this material and I am pleased with the great craftsmanship that Zara upholds.  The soft pale goat leather is incredibly durable and withstood a One Direction concert without a dent or scratch on them.  The sole is 100% rubber which makes it as easy to walk in these as it would a pair of Nike's.  All in all there are only positive things to be said.  If you think otherwise you should highly question your brains ability and then go to your closest Zara to bask in all its glory.

When I purchased these Zara Ballerina Flats in late April the price was 90 US dollars and with tax the total came to an astounding 96 dollars, which is a bargain if you ask me.  However now they are on sale on the Zara website for a whooping 50 dollars!  Because of the lasting quality, timeless appeal and the versatility of these flats I have decided to purchase a second pair for when the leather gets completely worn out and the sole pulverized under my barbaric feet.  I assure you I am not crazy, just crazy for these shoes.
