"Nude" patent leather ballet flats that actually match my skin tone (close enough). My dark skin left me out of the cute nude shoe look trend (yeah, when I undress, I'm not beige...), but I found a cheap pair of fun and functional ballet flats in a cappuccino color that actually work for me. It's a silly little thing that makes me smile.
