Elegantly Mismatched Slippers

These Cat and Fish Loafers by Del Toro are Chic and Playful

If you're looking for a way to play up your outfit, a pair of cat and fish loafers will do the trick.

These stunning flats from Del Toro will stand out in your shoe closest. Instead of wearing a matching pair of shoes, would you dare wear a set that don't have the same design? While each shoe is the same light blue shade, the patterns on the toe are different. On one side you'll be sporting a black cat that looks ready for a chase. Your other shoe shows an innocent fish in a bowl, unaware of the cat. Although the designs aren't the same, the shoes essentially tell a story, and you need both for the scene to make sense.

These cat and fish loafers embody both a sophisticated and whimsical vibe.
