Just like Lauren predicted way back in 2007, the ballet flat has stood the test of time and will continue to provide women's feet everywhere with an elegant respite from the stiletto during 2008.

For tall girls who worry about towering over their men, ballet flats are still the way to go. You can wear them without worrying about asking your date to put Tom Cruise lifts in his shoes. For those of us who live in a big city, we can feel free to walk from the subway instead of having to try and hail a cab, since ballet flats are comfortable enough for the long city treks. In short, it's pretty hard to go wrong with this great casual shoe!

Ballet flats are a fantastic way to add trends to your wardrobe as well, without looking too over the top. Get them in the it colors for the season, lemon yellow, or metallic gold. You can also find ballet flats that incorporate floral patterns (very hot right now) into their designs.
