American Eagle Culprit Stripe Ballet ($22)

I'm always on the lookout for cute flats that I can wear to the office. My office isn't typical, in that flip flops are acceptable, as long as they're "nice", as in, not rubber. On casual Fridays, pretty much anything goes. However, some outfits call for a real shoe, and when they do, I opt for the comfort of flats over heels most days. The American Eagle Culprit Stripe Ballet flat is practically perfect with its neutral toned stripes and buttons. Right now Payless has its Buy One Get One (BOGO) half off sale going on, too, so you can pick up a second pair of shoes for around $11.
