Review: J Crew Jayne T-Strap Ballet Flats

What a cute little twist on the traditional ballet flat....J Crew added an ankle strap and some bling to spice up an otherwise basic flat.

J Crew describes the Jayne T-strap ballet flat as:

We're happily back on the chain gang in these cool-girl ballet flats with dance-inspired glinting chain T-straps. Expertly crafted in Italian leather, they feel as luxe as they look (we removed the shank for supreme comfort).

They retail for $198 and come in black, red and beige.

 

They are super comfortable and fit tts. 

Have you tried the Jayne Ballet Flats?  If so, what were your thoughts?

Summer's Last Hoorah (Plus 1)

J Crew Jester Sweater

J Crew Factory No.2 Textured Tweed Pencil Skirt in Blush - Size 4

Ann Taylor Loft Irene Midheels 

Our temps have dropped and so I took the opportunity to wear this new skirt from the factory.  It's a beautiful dusty pink and I love the knubby texture of the tweed.  It's hard to tell from the picture, but the skirt has a taupe background...so these two tie together quite nicely.
