I swore I wasn’t buying anything this week, and I kept my promise until tonight when I saw that the Adidas Ballet Flats were starting to appear in stores.

A local shop has them online, but they also ship outside of Canada.

They offer them in white and black which is what I got, and black and white. It doesn’t show it on there, but they also come with ribbons to lace them up as an option.

Welcome back to the early 00s.

These were actually one thing from the 2000s that I was hoping would come back. We saw signs that they would over the last year and here we are.

Anyway, I can’t wait until the snow melts so I can wear them. They will also be really cute in the summertime with dresses, skirts, and cuffed pants.
