It must be a vestige left over from early childhood, but I love ballet slippers. I was never terribly good at ballet, but I remember feeling my most feminine while prancing about in a pink leotard, that gauzy wrap skirt and pair of those petal pink Capezios. Long gone are the days I’m prepared to sport a skintight leotard or anything less supportive than Spanx, but the shoes are still safe territory. Ele Handmade produces beautiful ballet slippers for women - in Italy - in indoor and outdoor versions, and a slew of colors and textures. I don’t know about you, but I’d have loved silver stingray when I was 7.($50-96)
