Don't get me wrong - I'm all for fashion that gives back to charity - but from a style standpoint, I swore I'd never jump on-board the Toms bandwagon. I see people on the street rockin' them with jeans, shorts, dresses, and even suits (ugh), and while some people manage to make them look almost cute, I've yet to find a pair that convinces me that I wouldn't rather be wearing a much more stylish pair of simple ballet flats. That is, until I found out that Toms were coming out with their very own collection of Paris ballet flats, due out this spring. They've still got that bound canvas look unique to Toms and boast the undeniable comfort that have made them so beloved among the brand's fans, but unlike their classic and wedge styles, they don't blatantly advertise that you've chosen your footwear based primarily on comfort. And for those of us who consider looks to be just as important as comfort when it comes to our casual footwear, the Paris ballet flats are a brand addition worth waiting for! What do you think - would you reconsider investing in a pair of Toms once these flats are available?
