To keep my basics from being too boring, my go to neutral shoes are my leopard flats.  They are currently on sale at J. Crew.  I like them so much, I bought a second pair for when I inevitably wear them out (the sign of a good shoe purchase).

We are having a cool spell in Southern California.  The fog made me grab my cozy black cashmere cardigan and favorite neutral flats.

I have always loved leopard print since I can remember.  I first introduced it in my wardrobe a long time ago with some great sandals, then a belt, then a velvet leopard print bikini and then many other items.   I do not own many plain black shoes.  I think leopard can almost always replace black and add a little something.  Shoes are also a fun place to play with pattern and color.
