Two trends that we can expect to continue through the fall season are color-blocking and animal prints. And, as you are probably well-aware, purple is the color this autumn, although there's something even more popular -- saving money in this uncertain economy.

Keeping all this in mind, we're putting in our order for these Color-Block Croc-Print Flats in purple. They're on sale for just $10 (squee!) at Old Navy -- and what's not to love? They're a hot color, and classic shape, and they're right on trend with the color-block toe.

We know, some of you are undoubtedly saying, "What the hell would I wear purple shoes with?" We say, what wouldn't you wear them with? Pair them with dark jeans and a bold tee, or wear them with a dress that has a hint of purpley-plum in it. As flats, they can go totally casual, but the croc print makes them easy to dress up. Try them with bright tights to get super funky.
