Curious Case of Repetto Ballet Flats



















Seeing The Curious Case of Benjamin Button reaffirmed my love for both F. Scott Fitzgerald and Repetto ballet flats. The movie made a big impression on me, but a week and a half after seeing it, it's Cate Blanchett's wonderful ballerina-esque wardrobe that's still on my mind.

I have a fair share of flats, but it is the elegant timelessness ‒ rather than the modern trendiness ‒ that sets Repetto apart. Old Hollywood starlets from Audrey Hepburn to Brigette Bardot did much of their casual cavorting around New York City in Repettos, as did Daisy in the movie.

And I want to, too!
