These Mary Janes may not be of the uber-fancy variety, but they have quite a few things going for them. They mimick a few designer styles well enough to be on trend without being too copy-cat, and they come in a variety of patent finishes, which we shoewawa girls love. I personally think I'd prefer the bone, as it's a little less expected than black or red for patent, and it lends a little shine to a day shoe. The retro-inspired heel is 3", but would be more managable than some similar finds because of the sturdiness of the heel. These might be a nice work shoe, especially at $74.95.
