I don't have any nude pumps

[house]

Do you think they are a closet staple these days? Do I need a pair of nude pumps? There are some Gabriella Rocha ones on sale for $20 and I am thinking about getting them.

[bimbi284]

I don't either, but totally realize that I need them...

[house]

Ah I feel the same way! I need them! But not sure if they will be really "nude" for me since I am so dark! Haha! Brown ones are usually darker than my skin tone. So I might return them after trying on and seeing if they don't look "nude" enough. They usually have to be close to your skin tone to be nude right? I feel dumb asking this. haha.

[bimbi284]

Yeah, unfortunately, what is considered "nude" is usually lighter in color, so "nude" isn't really universal in that sense. To get the effect, they should be close to your skin tone, but that doesn't mean you can't wear a lighter neutral shade, because it will still be really versatile with your wardrobe, despite your skin tone.

I wear mine pretty often and $20 is a great price if you like them!

[bluesecrets]

My nude pumps are one of my most worn shoes. I have a pair from Nine West that I love. Very comfortable (I even bought the same style in red).

[house]

wdyt? Reg $69 and on sale for $20.70. That's less than the Target pierce pumps I was thinking about getting for $29.99

[house]

Oh I am getting them in wide because medium width is not available. So another reason I might have to return them but I am taking a chance.

[bimbi284]

I think a round or almond shaped toe like the Pearce is more versatile, classic, and comfortable than a pointed toe. Those ones look a little dated.

[house]

hmm, I thought they were classic which is why they are still being sold. But they ARE on sale .. LOL.
I will return if I don't like them. Have to see how pointy they are.

[house]

dated.. as in sooo 2008? 2009? 1990s?

[bimbi284]

As in 80s/90s...there was a time in the 2000s when super pointy was a big deal...around '05/'06 maybe? One of my bffs wore them out all the time back then, lol.

I should also add a disclaimer that I am pretty much anti-pointy shoe as a rule, partly because my feet are too wide for them, and also partly because I just think they look weird, lol.

[house]

Back to browsing for me then. I will email to see if I can cancel the order. If not I will just have to return them.

[house]

Well, then I won't email to cancel. Thanks for all the help Mav and bimbi! You guys are awesome!

Can you tell me which ones they are from Nine west? Are your 4" or bigger? or lower? I was looking for slightly lower than 4"

This is the brand mine are...well I guess I have 2 pairs of nude, but the Garbriella Rocha ones have a little bit more of a blush tiny to them. I got them at Zappos. Reviews said they run about 1/2 size too small. Mine don't to me, but I can see where they are coming from.

The other ones I got at Target, they are a higher heel.

A few months ago I got a pair of Kelsi Dagger Laurie Pumps in sand. They're pretty high, but comfortable. I got them on DSW.com

[karebear304]

I own nude pumps, but I haven't worn them once. They're peep toe, Ivanka Trump Cleo, which I got in the winter. I assumed I'd wear them once spring started, but I haven't yet.

Need to break them out or sell them I guess!

This dark nude patent is a good color for darker skin tones

I just purchased the Pearce pump in taupe from Target. I haven't received them yet though.

They are less than 4"
I believe they are these:

I got my nude pair from the outlet for like $40, but the red came from one of their stores in a mall in Ga. Both pairs are the same though.

Thanks bluesecrets! I really like the caress ones. They are a bit pricey at $89 for me. Maybe they will go on sale soon. But I might end up getting the pearce pump before that happens.
