Trends come and go, so I usually avoid spending much on them. If you want to try a trendy piece without buyer’s remorse, the key is to find a budget-friendly version in a fast fashion store.
This week’s Fabulous Find is a great example: a pair of pointed-toe, slingback flats from the Who What Wear collection at Target. These flats (also known as slipper mules) are very trendy at the moment, but at less than $30, you won’t be breaking the bank to give them a try.

Outfit Inspiration
Though trendy, these flats are surprisingly versatile! Here are a few ways to wear them:
Outfit #1
Products: Flats, Sweater, Jeans, Bag, Earrings
It can be tricky to look chic and be comfortable at the same time, but this outfit achieves the perfect balance. Dress down these slip-on flats with some ripped boyfriend jeans, and add a cozy striped sweater on top. To make the ensemble polished enough for a coffee date or other weekend outing, add a pair of statement earrings and a cute crossbody bag.
Outfit #2
Products: Flats, Shirt, Pants, Coat, Lipstick
Do you work in an office environment? If so, switch up your usual work unifom with something a bit more trendy and stylish. These black flats pair perfectly with a pair of plaid trousers and a blue oxford button-down shirt. If there’s a chill in the air, throw on a sleek navy coat as well. Use a pretty pink lipstick to add a little feminine touch to the final look.
Outfit #3
Products: Flats, Jumpsuit, Necklace, Bag
Want to stand out from the crowd at your next holiday party? Try this nontraditional yet chic and sophisticated look. Instead of the typical sequin dress, try a bright red jumpsuit with a tie waist. Give your feet a break from heels and wear these trendy flats instead. When accessorizing, balance out the look with classic pieces like a gold clutch and chunky statement necklace.
