I Want: Flesh-Colored Structural Shoes

Posted on 09.18.09 to $150 and under by Lindsay

I’m one of those people who love to have chunky, robot-like shoes that look as though they’re taking over your feet.

Gigantic, ridiculously bulky shoes are surprisingly favored by me. I usually like the sleek and clean – but when it comes to skintone-matching shoes, I like making up for the lack of color by allowing the shoes to be almost voluminous, and crazy with details.

I crave skin tone-matching, or tan (definitely not my skin tone) colored shoes not only for the leg-lengthening reasons, but because it’s the most unexpected, risky neutral – you’re matching your skin! I dream of pairing these heels with black, cropped slacks or perhaps tights and a waist-defining, silky dress… Or, on a wild streak, ankle-length, white jeans – rolled up, and topped with a prim cami & cardigan.

Cindy Says Women's Edison Pump
Cindy Says Edison Pump$99.52 (were $180.95)

Vince Camuto Women's Della Bootie

Frye Grace Woven T Strap Platform Sandals
Frye Grace Woven Sandals$68.40 (were $228)

Of course the only size left is mine. Curses on my lack of money!

Which do you like, if any?

See, nude pumps – that much-lauded wardrobe staple – bore me to TEARS. But these? I ADORE these picks!

I love the last one, the Velvet Angels pump, and the Frye t-strap. All gorgeous! Sal’s right – these are great alternatives to the “nude pump” staple. Good eye, Elle! :)
