The Perfect Statement Flats

I fell in love with Marc Jacobs’ cute and whimsical animal flats when I first saw the mouse ballerina flats on blogger-extraordinare Chiara Ferragni of the Blonde Salad years ago. Over the years Marc Jacobs released numerous different designs and variations of the mouse flat that quickly spread through the blogging universe. It seemed that every blogger had a pair.
