Attention all pre-school mothers, in case you didn’t get the memo, these shoes are the new hotness in the carpool line.

{Tory Burch Reva Ballet Flats, Gold, Saks Fifth Avenue, $195}
This morning, I saw no less than three pairs of this exact shoe on moms flitting through the halls of my daughter’s pre-school. And these flats are absolutely, head-turningly, stunning.
But, you all know me, I simply cannot justify $195 for shoes that will soon have a combination of peanut butter and playground chips all over them. And who really wants to look like everyone else, right?
So, how about these?
