Let me tell you how I bought my nude shoes. I had to go to two different weddings one week apart. I had absolutely nothing to wear and ended up buying a hot pink skirt suit. I knew that my suit would be used for both weddings because I could change it up with a skirt and blouse, or a complete suit with a closed jacket, or the suit with a camisole underneath a open jacket. When I saw the suit in the store I immediately loved it and knew that I had to have it so that choice was easy. The problem came when I needed shoes. Now, I had black heels but for some reason I really didn't love them with my suit so I decided to really research hot pink and fuchsia suits so that I could see which color shoes that people were wearing with them. This actually became a real project. I came across silver shoes, gold shoes, black shoes, and nude shoes. I did first think of the gold shoes because we're talking about weddings after all, however I was having a difficult time finding the right gold color with the right shoe fit. I rethought the situation and did a little more research. This time my eye really went towards nude because I started to think that if I had nude I could wear them all seasons as well as that fact that I would never be in this situation again. If I found the perfect gold my next wedding might require silver, or my next graduation, or dinner date, or any other event. At that moment in time I was so frustrated I just thought "I need a go to shoe". Now, I know the time will come again when I need a certain color shoe again but I won't be so desperate because I'll have my "go to". I can take as long as it takes to find other perfect shoes. One person that I've notice wear her nude pumps a lot is Tracee Ellis Ross. I was really inspired by her pumps.
Finding the perfect nude is not exactly easy. You have to go through a few to get a perfect match. Thank goodness nude shoes are in right now so it's the perfect time to find the right ones because depending on your skin color you may have to wait a few season for certain colors to come again. I ended up getting a pair of Corso Como Delecious Pumps in Whiskey Calf. I love them . These shoes are very comfortable and well made. I like that they have a leather upper and sole. The shoe box includes a nice leaflet on the care of your shoes as well as construction and the company's philosophy. I bought them at
Endless.com because they have free two day shopping and free returns.
Do you need darker or lighter? Below are a couple of options. I've been wanting to try the Cole Haan "AIR" shoes. I've heard they were comfortable and I've tried on the Nine West Ambitious Pump when I was looking for my nude pumps. They were very comfortable, but the color was off so I didn't purchase them. I might still get them in another color. Whatever the case I'm sure you'll find your personal nude.
Do you already have nude shoes? What brand? What shade?
