A couple of months ago, I was searching for the perfect flat boots. You see, I'm not normally very fussy with my footwear...I have been wearing flip flops nearly year round since, well, I can remember, really. The idea of buying boots for the fall/winter both excited me and stressed me out.

Well, after weeks of searching, I finally found a pair that I fell in love with instantly. They are the Black Matilde Flat Boots by Loeffler Randall, and I have to say that they were worth every penny of their hefty $695.000 price tag. The leather is incredible, they fit amazingly, and they make every outfit I wear them with look extra fabulous.

And if you like the look of these, but not the price of them, try these alternatives:

Rockport Tarklyn Terrace Boots ($190.00)

Steve Madden Iden Boots ($159.00)

Old Navy Sliver-Edge Boots ($39.50)
