Nude pump update

AGL pumps - $310

Nine West Sling backs- $68

After all this fussing about which nude pumps to buy, and how to wear them, I can report that I have finally purchased a pair. At Nordstrom, I fell in love with these AGL (Attilio Giusti Leombruni) hand made pumps (above), but at $310, they were just a bit too steep for my taste. So at Macy's I ended up buying these pearlescent nude peep-toe sling-backs from Nine West instead.  At $68, they were much more friendly to my wallet.

Just the other day, I put together my first outfit. I decided to pair my nude sling backs with BR taupe pants and a BR orange silk blouse (see below).  I decided to follow my previous advice on pairing nude pumps with a brightly colored top. Wearing this outfit, and gauging my confidence level throughout the day, I think the pairing worked, but it could have been tweaked a little bit. I was wearing a narrow Tahari cream jacket over my blouse, but the blouse kept ballooning outwards. In the future, I may want to pair this look with a narrower blouse.
