We met up for dimsum a couple of weekends ago for my sister’s birthday. It was a casual affair so I stepped out in my Cole Haan Remy Ballet Flats in red ($98.75 at Zappos.com). They’re my favorite walking shoes (next to my Target ballet flats). 

Whe my sister arrived, she was in her Cole Haan Air Billie Lace-Up Sneakers ($148.95 at Zappos.com). It’s as if we called each other and planned to wear fab and comfortable footwear. You know what they say–great minds think alike.

Then, my dad walked in wearing his Lacoste Cabestan Boat Shoes (pictured; $119.95 at Zappos.com). My mom was also in a pair of cute flats with white flower embellishments (I don’t recall the brand). No surprise here–our parents are quite the fabulous pair. They know how to put outfits together, spend free weekends at malls and designer stores, and know what’s hot and not in fashion. No wonder my sister and I are the way we are. We are our parents’ children.
