Great article Monica. I have been wondering about wearing flats. I wear during the day all the time now, but now I will really consider wearing them during evening events. So comfortable.
I've been wearing flats more than ever - the hills of San francisco are somewhat heel-adverse :-) Awesome suggestions, as usual.
