One of the latest trends around campus is embellished flats. Before, I thought flats were for a dressier look rather than going to class, but now they’ve proven to be versatile in many ways. For a business-y look, Tory Burch flats can’t be beat. Embellished flats with a bow at the front or big studs are perfect for the Syracuse fall weather, which makes you look more professional even if you’re just headed for class — you never know who you will meet on the steps of Whitman or Newhouse! Neutral colored flats are perfect for the ordinary outfit. Once that winter weather hits, flats can always be easily replaced with boots. They can be found at Steve Madden, Bloomingdales, DSW, and Macy’s.  

How to Wear:

1. Dark wash jeans with a flowy shirt and jacket with embellished flats

2. Leggings with a chucky sweater over and neutral colored flats

3. Dressy long skirt with a blouse over black Tory Butch flats

4. Dark wash jeans with a sweater over a fur vest and black colored flats

5. Mini skirt with a chunky sweater and nude colored flats

Elora likes pina coladas and getting caught in the rain...but only warm rain, and especially rain that's packaged in summer thunderstorms! The sophomore magazine journalism and English major is an assistant feature copy editor for SU's independent student newspaper, the Daily Orange, and is a contributing writer for GALA Magazine. She is also a brother in the community service fraternity Alpha Phi Omega. Elora has country music on her iTunes for every possible mood and she will never turn down a Dave Matthews Band concert, a trip to Panera Bread or a pickup soccer game. Although she's not sure exactly what she wants to do after graduation, she hopes to use writing to make a difference in someone's world.
