The Black Pump: Is It in Your Closet?
A long, long time ago, my fabulous friend, Ariel, asked me to find her some affordable, basic, closed-toe pumps to wear to her internship at Parliament. About a week after she asked, she abandoned me to go frolic around London, so I never got a chance to find her those pumps.
It's a little late for Ariel to get any use out of this post (serves you right for leaving me), but I felt like it still has to be done. A simple, black, closed-toe pump is such a canonical piece of fashion that it needs to be a resident of every woman's closet. From the office, to the classroom, to the party, to the grocery store-- black pumps fit seamlessly into any outfit.
Here are some affordable versions of this iconic item, enjoy!

The Forever 21 vest is not identical to the Literature Noir vest below ($552 at bluefly.com), but it definitely has the same rocker-chic vibe.
