Loafer Love!!!

Reds
Loafers. Smoking slippers. Dandy slippers. Flats. Whatever you call em, I love em!! lol! I'm not that into sneakers -I'll look at em but I'm not paying $150+ for shoes that I know wont be worn for their purpose i.e. Jordans that never see a basketball court! Nope, not I! Although I am the chick that will spend the same $150 on a pair of heels that I only wear once a year. Call it a contradiction, I don't care, I'm a heel girl! lol! The only problem with that is I'm not Coco, I can't wear heels all day, everyday, 365. My back would curse me out & I'm occasionally clumsy so I'd probably end up tripping over cords at the news station! On my heels-off days I like…
