The Search for Black Shoes, pt. 1

I have been searching high and low for a good pair of black flats for everyday wear. It's gotten to the point where I avoid wearing black unless I can wear my grey platforms. But I really need a pair of black shoes. I mean, who doesn't have black shoes? But I just haven't been able to find a pair that would be good for everyday but aren't either too sporty, too clunky, to delicate, too shiney, etc . . . I found one pair that were beautiful, but of course they fall into the cruellest category: too expensive. But, my, are they pretty.
