I have a pair of pumps with 1 1/2 inch gold plated chunky heels. They are fairly comfy and don't look frumpy to me. Maybe it is the gold, and also they height since I have purged so many shoes there will be wardrobe holes when it get too warm for boots and booties. I have been looking at some shoes to replace ballet flats and higher heels. I am finding the low heels like my gold plated heel pumps most of the time look frumpy like 1 inch or so. Any ideas of some that do not look frumpy, but still cover most of foot, not cut outs or toe outs etc. as it is still too cool in March thru early May for me to wear open shoes at night. Also the skinny kitten heels look too dressy to me. Guess the look I am going for is more like dressy casual maybe 1 inch heels, and not those comfort shoes.
