Blue suede shoes

nancylee

Along with my platform almond-toe pumps, I also ordered the same style in blue suede. Like my boot collection, my pump collection tends to be very practical and fun-free. The blue would go well with my Tory Burch snakeskin print dress (see photos below)...but do you all have any other suggestions of how to style these shoes?

Jeans, skirts, cropped pants, just to name a few. I love them.

Those look fun! I am a big sucker for classic pumps, it is almost problematic I bought a pair of BRIGHT cobalt pumps last spring and found that, really, they just go with everything. Truly. Primarily I enjoyed pairing with very casual bottoms, and then go either full on dressy on top or half-dressy. Yours are a bit dressier than mine, so you could also easily wear them with fully dressy outfits. But I do think this particular pair would look especially good with casual bottoms for a more extreme juxtaposition.

I'm with Aida. I think they should go with almost everything. The great thing about this color of blue (and it's why I'm holding out for a pair of dusty blue oxfords) is that the color reads as a neutral to us. We're so accustomed to seeing blue jeans that blues like this don't read as a color anymore. Or at least that's my theory, and I'm sticking to it!

I agree with kcs - blue shoes are a neutral in my book.

Thanks for the advice, everyone. I feel happy with these on my feet, so that's a very good sign that they're keepers.

Deb and Aida, thanks for the styling suggestions. I will definitely try them with a casual bottom like jeans. I always admire how you style your pumps, Aida, so i may have to check out some of your past WIW's for inspiration.

k can shop and carl: blue as a neutral! Of course! Thanks for reminding me.
