Following yesterday's post about 10 nude pumps under $100, many of you said you loved the look but weren't sure how to wear this style of shoe. I think reader Texnyqueen said it best when she commented, "You can wear nude pumps just like black pumps - with everything!" Ok, I added the exclamation point—but it's so true! Nude pumps are super versatile. To prove my point, I couldn't resist showing you three ways that I've personally worn my nude pumps by Nine West, which I purchased from 6pm.com for just $10.27 plus shipping (as seen here).
Here goes:
1. Wear your nude pumps with a pencil skirt and feminine top. Pumps and pencil skirts are a match made in heaven. On top? Wear whatever you like! (What I'm Wearing: Zac Posen for Target pencil skirt, LC Lauren Conrad for Kohls ruffle front camisole, and BCBG via Marshalls quilted clutch)
2. Pair nude pumps with a brightly colored dress. While nude pumps will look equally at home with this season's nude hues (see this look on Kelly Ripa) or bold brights (see this look on Molly Sims), I like to wear mine with a more vibrant dress because of my pale complexion. But that's just me! Experiment, you can't lose. (What I'm Wearing: LC Lauren Conrad for Kohls dress, Nine West lace purse)
3. Take a cue from Victoria Beckham and rock your nude pumps with this season's cargos and a boyfriend blazer. (What I'm Wearing: Forever 21 tee, Express blazer and my boyfriend's AE shorts. Shhh don't tell him I raided his closet!)

The price on those shoes are ridiculous! I think I really need to check out this 6pm.
COME ON!!!
How do you know which shade of nude is best for your skin type? Should it be lighter/darker or the same color as your skin color?? Also what type of nude shoe works best to make your legs and ankles look slimmer? would a gladiator heel work? or a mary jane pump?
And I love your sense of style.
I love that ruffle top. Must look for it. And the Express blazer! I was always worried their blazers would be too boxy or big in the shoulders, but my fears have been put to rest after seeing how great it looks on you. I'm sold on the nude pumps.
Thanks!!
