in the nude

my best friend briana of sequence of sequins (she's new to blogging; go show her some love!) has been looking for the perfect pair of nude pumps. i consider the inexpensive pair that i ordered online last year one of the most versatile items in my closet so i thought i'd find a few options for her in the hopes that you'll find something you love as well. luckily for all of us, these leg-lengthening wonders are available at literally every price point — i've covered $20 to $595 below. once you add a pair to your shoe repertoire, you'll wonder how you ever lived without them!

{go jane faux leather peep toe heel, $20}

{target mossimo virginia pumps, $30}

{bcbgeneration flash pump, on sale for $56}

{paris hilton senorita pump, $89}

(these might actually be my favorite! how cute are the bow and the pink heel?)

{jessica simpson waleo pump, $89}

{aldo destime pump, $90}

{steve madden caryssa heel, $90}

{urban outfitters matiko nicki peep-toe wedge, $148}

{christian louboutin décolleté 100 pumps, $595}

p.s. looking for something? i love a good online hunt and would love to track down a few options for your wishlist. just send me an email at mhoran@optonline.net and i'll get shopping!
